SAS products usage by who and when

sasprofile — Wed, 27 Sep 2023 03:41:36 GMT

Hi all

How can I accomplish whether our sas users are using below components on a SAS Studio basic version environment on Linux? if yes, who and when last time they accessed/use it ?

SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop
SAS/ACCESS Interface to ORACLE

SAS Office Analytics

SAS/CONNECT

SAS/AF
SAS/OR
SAS/IML
SAS/QC
SAS/ETS

Would appreciate for your advise on this

Thank you all in advance

Hi! You are mixing products/modules (SAS/Access, OR, STAT...) with solutions (SAS Office Analytics) which "incorporate" Studio. Maybe you can start tracking Web Logs to get some data - There's nothing ready out of the box, you'll have to enable and parse various logs.

Hi @sasprofile

You may want to review this paper Tracking SAS Licensed product usage

Just as an FYI, SAS/AF is a Rich Client SAS software module, which typically cannot be used by SAS Studio, which is Web Application

Hope this helps,

Ahmed

Here is another paper that may provide "How To"

You'll need to work with your SAS Administrator, if that was not you, to get these changes in place
