It works except that it does not update the graph.
for refreshing the graph I need to clear the URL, enter, and paste it in again.
@Renato_sas @XavierBizoux , any idea how to achieve it?
the bar chart performs filter actions on the other 2 DDC objects.
the invisible below uses json to write the filtered data to a promoted table.
the custumized sgplot takes this table as an input.
it works but the table promote ddc is faster and second the sgplot chart does not update until I do the trick described at the beginning.
Accepted Solutions
It still does not work @Renato_sas .
I don't know where to send the output from the proc sgplot. On its own it works but attached to the snippet that creates the table via json, it's not shown.
the log to me does not reveal much.
If I send a html via ods command the file and its png get written correctly to the specified path.
But this machine is not reachable via VA so the workaround to grab it via web content does not work either.
The problem is that I don't understand html at all, what I do is copy/paste trial and error.
I don't understand why viya makes it so complicated to have ods graphs within Visual Analytics. It's crazy, you can insert third party visualizations easier than sas own powerful ods graphics.

That's it! And it even updates.
It works, I can't believe that it finally does what I had in mind.
With DDC you can leverage third-party visualizations, update tables, score data and show customized ods graphs.
When you add what already comes shipped as graph objects with Visual Analytics plus the possibilities of using graph builder then you end up having impressive visualization power.
