SAS 9.4M7 (Windows Svr 2019) on four servers: Metadata, Mid-Tier, Compute (with EV) and Visual Analytics
I'm looking for advice on enabling the VA Feed in Environment Manager Service Architecture. I've been following the documentation here:
SAS Help Center: Feeding Data from the Data Mart into SAS Visual Analytics
Where it says
If SAS Visual Analytics and SAS Environment Manager are not running on the same machine, you must modify the SAS_Config/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/emi-framework//sasev.properties file to identify the target location for the data tables that are to be loaded into SAS Visual Analytics. Modify the vafeed.destDir= property to specify the location on the SAS Environment Manager machine where the data tables should be copied. The target directory that you specify must have a subdirectory named /Formats . You must then move the data tables from the SAS Environment Manager machine to the SAS Visual Analytics machine. You can use techniques such as FTP transfer or NFS mounts to move the data tables.
But it doesn't actually state where these folders should be. The vafeed.destDir property is currently set to "DEFAULT", which is not very helpful. Should this be somewhere within config\Lev1\Web\SASEnvironmentManager\emi-framework? In which case, the data tables presumably then have to be moved from there to the Autoload folder on the VA machine. It's not entirely clear, does this have to be something that I have to configure to happen, with a scheduled job or some such? Or is the default the VA.AutoLoad.Location value specified for the EVDMLA library as configured in the metadata? That's a Windows share so would be accessible from the EV server.
Thanks in advance.
