Migrating from SAS® 9.4 to SAS® Viya®

[#1]

SAS® Viya® brings with it a wealth of new analytic and data management capabilities, as well as a resilient, scalable, and open architecture. Users of SAS® 9.4 need an easy path to migrate their workloads to SAS Viya in order to leverage these capabilities. In the 20-minute video and paper linked below, I cover options for adopting SAS Viya to complement, and in some cases replace, a SAS 9.4 environment. The options fall into three general categories: interoperability, content promotion, and replacement.

Does anyone know what version of SAS Viya or feature my org would have to purchase to get the SURVEY procs? I didn't see it in the paper linked above or this overview of "base" SAS Viya. Thanks for the help!

If I understand the documentation for Viya 4 correctly, the corresponding SAS/STAT procedures are available via Visual Statistics package/bundle/offering.
