Hi @elisehoo1 ,

SAS Content does not exist on a physical path.

Take a look at https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/calcdc/3.5/calfolders/titlepage.htm to learn how you can interact with the SAS content via a CLI or take the URI from your screenshot.

What are you trying to achieve?

Best,

David

Thanks @DavidHD so much ,

I want to explore to setup a project path inside sas studio , so we can save the project code to the project folder directory directly . for example,

/sas_aml_viya/sascode

/sas_aml_viya/sasmacro

I am not familiar with the SAS Viya content concept yet , so I plan to save all the developed sas code at physical code.

As I have yet decided whether to use batch command to call the code later or use JSF to create job & flow (scheduler perspective) .

By any chance ,that you have any best practice for me to refer for develop a data management project in sas viya ? 🙂

If you are collaborating on the code, doing a lot of changes or it is a business critical process then I would recommend using Git. Here is a great paper describing the integration of Git and SAS Studio: https://www.sas.com/content/dam/SAS/support/en/sas-global-forum-proceedings/2020/4197-2020.pdf

JSF can be really great, but as far as I'm aware it currently only supports time based triggers, but that might be all you need depending on your use case - take a look at this blog post: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/Go-with-the-Job-Flow-in-SAS-Viya-3-5/ta-p/612925

I hope this is helpful.

Hello David,

I am on a Viya 4 system, where there is no homedir, so the only place I can upload and store SAS Datsets is in the Content Folder, but my problem is now, how can i create a libname to the content folder, so I can read my SAS 7bdat fiels and load them into a CAS lib?

May I know do you have the solution? Or it is not the way how Viya4, SAS Contents and SAS Studio are working?

Yes,

I got an azure storage blob, and had it attached as a NFS, then i created a libname towards that and used proc casutil to get the data into CAS.

On most systems I have an NFS, it was only on this PoC env. it was missing
