SAS Archiving process

[suprangya2014]

I was wandering if there are any SAS in-built tools for data Archive process. If anyone has implemented it then can you please let me know, how to implement it.

Also if there are any 3rd party tools available, can you please let me know which one might be good.

My current setup is SAS 9.4M3, in Linux server.

Thanks

I recently did something like that. Selection is done in SAS, and then the resulting filenames are handed to the TSM (Spectrum Protect) commandline tool.

We have timestamped SAS datasets (indicating when a dataset was pulled from the production DB), and there exist business rules for when a dataset needs to go to the archive.

Thank you!

I was wandering if we can do anything in the unix end itself for the physical data.

Of course you can. Get a good book on bash scripting, and start learning.
