SAS Viya and Studio Libname issue

ifty — Sun, 20 Oct 2024 16:15:52 GMT

Hello

After finally installing SAS Viya Analytics pro using the Docker and now have some issues.

1. For some reason i cannot get SAS studio to recognize the libname - its easy with PC SAS : libname cancer 'c:/ifty' ; but this doesnt work in SAS studio - am i missing a trick ?

2. Also i want to run a random forest tree - is this procedure available in SAS Viya Analytics Pro - in my SAS studio session it certainly does bot work as teh procedure is not recognised

3. is there some basic connectivity between VIYA and Studio that i am failing to understand - the documentation so far has not helped

any help is greatly appreciated as i am sure i am not the only one - and if there is a similar answer to this , happy to be pointed to it; ive attached an example of what i know using the studio to get the libref . Note - im a pretty advanced SAS programmer in PC SAS, but getting used to SAS Viya is substantially more challenging for me (at this stage)

thanks

Did you map (bind) the directory from your host machine to a directory within the Docker container?

Hey,

To Q1.

libname must work in same way as 9.4 (libname cancer 'c:/ifty' ; ). But path (of cource linux path in docker) must be available for Your Compute session (pod). I do not have any VIYA available currently (I am outside SAS), but in data sources You have to see folders tree and files. right click on folder (which You want to make library and You can see path (in properties) or You can directly create library

Also (if You have got folder path ), run libname command in same wway as in PC sas

(libname cancer '/usr/myhome'; )

But folder MUST be available in Files browser, otherwise it do not recognize it.
