Has anyone here successfully connected SAS 9.4 on UNIX AIX to an Azure HDInsight cluster? On UNIX, the default HTTPS port is 8343. The Azure HDI default port is 443. Port 443 is not typically used by SAS 9.4 on UNIX machines, as the lower ports on UNIX are restricted for use by ROOT only. We are wondering if anyone has successfully made a connection with this same type of configuration and can provide some guidance on how you made it work. We have an open ticket with SAS Tech Support, but that back-and-forth usually takes a while and UNIX support is not a SAS strength (not a complaint about tech support, just an observation after years of working with SAS - SAS TS is much more knowledgeable about LINUX and Windows configurations). If a SAS admin has successfully made this connection and can provide the steps taken to make it happen, that would be very helpful. Thanks.
Hi,
It has been a while (I retired from SAS) so things may have changed (I doubt it), SAS doesn't support connecting to Hadoop (using SAS/ACCESS to Hadoop) from AIX. The problem is that the Hadoop community doesn't support AIX. So, there was no way for SAS to suppport it.
Make sure to ask this specific question: Is SAS/ACCESS Interface to Hadoop supported on AIX?
Best wishes,
Jeff
Hi,
I did find this in the doc: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/acreldb/n103yhji21l0c8n1iuto084a72q5.htm
Good luck.
Best wishes,
Jeff
