SAS Viya snippets physical location

BeNur — Wed, 23 Oct 2019 15:22:01 GMT

Hello everyone,

Does anybody know where is the physical location of snippets from Viya SAS StudioV?

Here is my case:

I created a new snippet as a sas code in SAS Content->Public folder

I believe there should be some physical sas file which contains my sas code that I can if necessary edit without login into SAS Viya.

For example, in the case of deploying a new version of the snippet, it would be faster to update version by just switching the files.

Thanks,

@BeNur ,

Those are stored in SAS Drive, somewhere in the database.

Hi @alexal ,

thank you for your reply. Do I correctly understand that there is no way to access the files on the server via cmd?

That is correct.

"there is no way to access the files on the server via cmd"

So I guess while Viya has been promoted as somewhat agnostic about language (sas, R, python, etc. all working with the CAS cloud analytics server), but not with regard to storage of code. Disappointing.
