Three things to note for SAS admins: September 2018

[ShelleySessoms]

September has been a busy month for you guys! You’ve added nearly 100 new messages to the community. It’s hard to keep track of all the activity. Add to the messages, almost a dozen new admin library articles, and it’s nearly impossible to keep up with all the good information.

So here are my top 3 picks from this month. Be sure to check them out:

• Have you registered for the next SUGA webinar, “Administering SAS – Comparing SAS 9.4 to SAS Viya”? It’s Tuesday, Oct. 9, from 2:00-3:00pm ET. Even if you can’t make it to the live event, register anyway and we’ll send you the on-demand link and presentation slides.

• Admin super star @MichelleHomes shared an article with tons of resources for SAS admins. I bet there’s something in there you didn’t know!

• SAS’ own @EdoardoRiva wrote an article on “High availability with SAS Viya: Service discovery and routing.” He shares some handy tips, so give it a read.

What did I miss? What were your favorite admin posts this month? Hit reply and share!

There sure has been more activity in September compared to the previous months... perhaps the Northern Hemisphere end of summer has something to do with it as people return to work Lots of great engagement in threads too! Wonderful to see the community supporting each other and thanks @ShelleySessoms for mentioning the article I wrote. Please add your comments/share your thoughts about being a SAS admin and what you get from the community.

Something I came across this month that may be of interest for those in the USA looking to be a certified SAS administrator (or other type of SAS certification). If you take a SAS exam in the US between Oct 1 and Dec 31, 2018 and if you don't pass, you can register for a free second attempt using promo code: Nextonefree. https://www.sas.com/en_us/training/offerings/fall-discount.html
