Azure Data Lake | How to access

[MariaD]

Hi folks,

I understand the only way to access / work with Azure Data Lake is using Viya. Does it correct? Or there is any way to connect using SAS 9.4?

Which are the prerequisite (version, components, etc) for Viya/SAS 9.4 in order to use Azure Data Lake?

I believe this article https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Communities-Library/SAS-Viya-3-5-CAS-accessing-Azure-Data-Lake-fi...

will give the information you are looking for.

Good luck,

Ahmed

Hi @MariaD 

One option, for both SAS 9 and SAS Viya, is to copy the file from ADLS2 to the SAS server using the Azure CLI and then processing the data locally on the SAS server.
