Save sas program file on local machine

nickspencer — Fri, 23 Jul 2021 20:09:32 GMT

Hello friends,
I am trying to do my development work on Sas studio on Viya server and stop using enterprise guide. But I am struggling to save the .sas program files on my local machine. Is there a way I can save the program files on my local machine and open/edit/run on sas studio whenever I need?

Thank you,
Nick

Are you using the free cloud public services? In an Enterprise environment you create some mapped drives to deal with this, if you're using On Demand and the trial/free versions you have to do it all manually.

SAS Studio has a download feature. Download the file after saving it on the server, and upload it before opening in Studio.

If you are using Viya, you can do ALL your work locally - eg with VS Code, deploying jobs / web services on demand, writing tests, documentation, running GIT on the command line, etc etc.

Here's the rundown - it makes use of the SASjs framework: https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/DevOps-with-VS-Code-GIT-and-SASjs/ta-p/747648
