Parallel Processing in DI

Shussa — Wed, 09 May 2012 12:15:53 GMT

Wanted to ask about the parallel processing capabilities in DI studio. As I understand, parallel processing in a non grid environment is only limited to the loop transformation? Is there a way to extend this to non-loop jobs? I can do this easily in base SAS, SAS/connect but finding it difficult using DI options.

Many thanks,

Hi,

You can try: Job properties-options->enable parallel processing macros(Macros code are generated at the top of the job code then you can write your code)

If you use Loop transformation these macros are generated default(you can find more info in Documentation).

Thanks,

Shiva

Is there any information within the documentation

on the generated macro and how we can use these or do I have to go through the code

I have got it working within loop transformation but was wondering if these would be implemented within other transformation. Seems like the answer is no

Hi,

You can just try reading about

Setting Options for Parallel Processing in SAS DI documentation.

Thanks,
