Z/OS DB2 V12 AND SAS STUDIO

[GOLDY58]

I am very new to SAS, all the courses I see are using SAS studio, can this be used to connect to Z/os?

Also is Sas Studio free of charge ? I see a reference to an academic version, is this free of charge. There is a length process to get software approved in my show, since it is not used currently it has to go through the approval process. Maybe if we have a SAS license on the host,  we have the usage of SAS studio. It seems all the classes point to using this tool.

I am trying to use the tool to access SMF data for performance tunung.

Thank you in advance,

Carol

SAS Studio is a web application running on Apache and Tomcat. I don't know how much of these can be implemented on z/OS.

You can download and install SAS University Edition for free. It can be installed on Windows, Linux and MacOS, wherever you have Intel X86 infrastructure and either Oracle VirtualBox or VMPlayer available.

AFAIK, all the courses assume that you either have a UNIX or Windows SAS Installation, or use On Demand for Academics, or University Edition. They can also be set up for either Display Manager (the Base SAS native interface), Enterprise Guide, or SAS Studio.

IMO, if you want to do the online SAS courses, you are best off installing UE on your PC/Laptop, and work on that.

Does SAS Studio work on a mainframe?[edit] While SAS Studio requires a supported mid-tier (Windows or Unix) to be deployed and run, if a mainframe is defined as a server context then SAS Studio can display mainframe files in the server files and folders navigation and can submit code to it. The Studio admin doc (https://go.documentation.sas.com/?activeCdc=webeditorcdc&cdcId=sasstudiocdc&cdcVersion=3.8&docsetId=...) provides the following information: If you are connecting to a z/OS environment, a My z/OS Files node might also be available. This node contains any z/OS data sets that use the value of the SYSPREF option as the high-level qualifier. (Use PROC OPTIONS to determine the current setting of SYSPREF.) In the My z/OS Files node, partitioned data sets and their members are displayed in a hierarchy. You can create folder shortcuts to these partitioned data sets. In the Server Files and Folders section, amber icons indicate that a node is from the z/OS file system.
