Hello,
I have been exploring SAS Viya especially the features related to jobs and job flows. I had two inquiries regarding them:
I appreciate your support!
Just saying +1 to the idea of using %include in your job to run the program. I don't use Viya (yet), but for both DI studio jobs (which are deployed and scheduled) and for stored processes, this is the approach I use. The job itself is just a shell, with an %include statement. The actually program is stored in a normal .sas file. So you can edit your program with whatever tool you like, use version control, etc.
In the current release, the program is bundled with your job definition. I think I heard/read somehwere that it will be possible in future releases to seperate the program from the job. I don't think you have to delete the jobm but a redeplyment is necessary.
Are you ready for the spotlight? We're accepting content ideas for SAS Innovate 2025 to be held May 6-9 in Orlando, FL. The call is open until September 16. Read more here about why you should contribute and what is in it for you!
