I want to write/buy/steal a connector to read sas data for use in BonitaSoft BPM.
Bonitasoft has connectors for Teradata, Mysql, Oracle,
but they don't have one to SAS.
So what might I do to connect into SAS data?
Can I write a connector or is there a sas program/script that some people use to achieve this?
In my mind, sas could occasionally be treated as a database just as Oracle, etc.
Thanks!
Does Bonitasoft have a generic ODBC connector ? If so then you may be able to connect to SAS data via ODBC. This assumes you have an operating SAS server environment with the SAS ODBC drivers installed.
SAS isn't a database but like for a data base in order to access the data you need a SAS server.
Additionally to what @LinusH proposes and depending on SAS components licensed I believe it should also be possible to implement a Web Service which you then call from your application. https://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/itechov/64881/PDF/default/itechov.pdf
