Python and R Integration in Viya 3.5

Hi there,

There is an intent in our site to integrate Viya 3.5 with R and Python.

Plan is to use SAS Studio and ModelStudio to run these codes.

Questions:

If using SAS Studio and Model Studio, where do I need to install the python/R components? We have these servers: (stateless, stateful, CAS, compute)?

Anything else that need to be aware of?

Thanks

Python and R need to be installed on the same machine as your compute - please refer to this documentation

For the Proc IML R integration you will also need to set the RLANG option - documentation

For Proc FCMP Python integration you will also need to set MAS_M2PATH - documentation

If you want to run your Python models in MAS please see this documentation

Please note that Proc Python is not available in SAS Viya 3.5.

Hope this helps,

David

Thanks for these informative links.

Would also like to ask if there would be something that needs to be configured on Environment Manager side as well?

Thanks

If everything is configured properly you shouldn't need to configure anything.

What you can do is adjust your Autoexec to set things like options set=R_HOME="/R/R-4.0.2/lib64/R";

@DavidHD do you happen to have a document I can refer to if I want to validate R and Python are working with Model Studio?

Thanks!!
