Oracle Vbox, SAS University edition and data protection

[FaridNasrAlDeen]

Hi everyone! I have installed Vbox to work on SAS UE ETS library. I have data that I want to keep only for my personal Use. Is there a risk that Oracle Vbox might sip into my data?

I'm assuming 'sip into my data' means share your data with others?

Oracle VM or SAS will not access your data, non identifying information is sent to SAS about usage of procs but not the data. 

However, SAS UE does not have most of the procs in the ETS package so I'm not sure it will work for you. 

• Six procedures from SAS/ETS are included in SAS University Edition to support the forecasting tasks in SAS Studio. The procedures are TIMEDATA, TIMESERIES, ARIMA, ESM, UCM, and TIMEID. You might notice that SAS/ETS appears in the list of products that are included with SAS University Edition. However, only those six procedures are included.

Dear Reeza, thank you for the reply. I am particularly interested in UCM to arrange a forecast for daily data. I wonder if there are any examples in SAS Universe of daily forecasting using USM. I have bumped into these publications but they seem to cover weekly and less frequent periods. Here is what I found:

http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etsug/63939/HTML/default/viewer.htm#ucm_toc.htm

https://support.sas.com/resources/papers/proceedings17/SAS0456-2017.pdf

https://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/ets/132/ucm.pdf

http://faculty.smu.edu/tfomby/eco5375/data/Unobservable%20Components%20Models/The%20Unobservable%20C...

I would be greatful to you or other community member who could guide me towards a step by step example. 

I am a buddying SAS programmer so extensive comments on eevery step would be more than welcome

Have you checked out the documentation examples?

https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=etsug&docsetVersion=15.1&docsetTarget=etsug_ucm_examples.htm...

At the top of each example is a link that links you to the full code so that it's easy to copy/paste and run on your own system.
