Are you new to CAS? Or, maybe you just want to understand it better? Here are 6 key data concepts:
Session scoped CAS tables are useful for data processing, ad-hoc analysis, and any other use case that only requires a single CAS session access the table.
Global scoped CAS tables are useful for end-user applications like Visual Analytics and Visual Statistics that requires the table be available to multiple users.
Server side loading can take a few different forms including:
In each case, CAS accesses data in some defined CAS Data Source and loads the data into CAS.
In client side loading, some external application -- either base SAS, Python, LUA, REST, Java, or R -- starts a CAS session and uses CAS actions to load data from the client into CAS.
As the diagram below shows, the data is loaded only into CAS ("in-memory") and is not loaded to the defined data source. If you want the data loaded to the defined data source, you'll have to issue a SAVE CAS action.
