Excellent post ! Thanks for sharing. I wasn't aware that fs-based shortcuts might be enabled when filesystem access is switched off : it works like an AllowList access very easy to configure. ... View more

Thanks for sharing, @GemmaR . This is very interesting, especially the summary table at the end.  Thanks to David Weik's Change report with its filtering capabilities ( https://criptic.github.io/SAS-Whats-New/index.html ) I could trace back this Column feature to Viya Stable 202312 version (LTS can only refer to 202303 or 202310 bi-annual releases); next LTS in 2024 will also use this feature presumably. ...

Hi @eddieleung305 ,   I have never tried changing the target caslib, but according to the importAssessment tool help below, there is an option to choose a specific caslib instead of public :   #./importAssessedContent --help NAME: importAssessedContent - This application imports published tables and reports, assessed by SAS 9 Content Assessment, residing on the file system to SAS Viya 4 by datamart. Please note that any previously imported content from the specified data mart type will be overwritten by this process. VERSION: 2023.05 USAGE: importAssessedContent [command options...] COMMAND OPTIONS: --help Shows help. --create-profile Specifies to prompt the user and create a SAS Viya command-line interface profile. Specifying this option will also result in the prompting for required values. --profile Specifies a SAS Viya command-line interface profile to use during import. Specifying this option will also prompt the user for login credentials. --sas-viya-path Specifies the fully-qualified path to the SAS Viya Command-Line Interface. --datamart-type Specifies what type of data mart to publish. Valid values are: profile, inventory, codecheck, i18n, summarizelogs, embatchcode, appusage --caslib Specifies the destination caslib. Default value: public --server Specifies the destination CAS server. Default value: cas-shared-default --version Displays the application's version. USAGE NOTES: This application makes use of the SAS Viya Command-Line Interface which can be downloaded from: https://support.sas.com/downloads/package.htm?pid=2512 After downloading the CLI, make sure to download its "CAS" plugin as well as its "transfer" plugin. See the "Additional Documentation" referenced below for more details. ADDITIONAL DOCUMENTATION: /app/list/tf/binaries/sas9ContentAssessment/assessment/doc/SASContentAssessment.pdf Since it looks feasible to change your reports data caslib, you can also try to move the Assessement VA reports once created in Public folder into another folder, secured, using VIYA Cli promote plugin :   https://documentation.sas.com/doc/fr/sasadmincdc/v_038/calpromotion/n0u4qkc837891vn1w8pd2rbqaxzb.htm   Changing outright the destination Folder doesn't seem to be possible with the ImportAssessment tool (v 2023.04) ; posting a feature request to the team in charge might be useful also ;-).   HTH, Ronan ...

Thank you @StuartRogers for sharing this important article. The requirement of having to onboard Directory-based Service accounts seem rather new, until now these kind of technical accounts had to be created in the underlying micro-service realm (kubernetes service accounts, sssd Linux accounts). Since Viya 4 pricing metric is usually the nominal user account, I would like to know if the new Service Account Users for Schedule is explicity  excluded from the user quota ? Once account does not make a large difference but, as you show in your examples, security models more complex (more realistic also) might imply more than one Service Account User for Schedule. ...

Hi Michelle, this looks like a good idea. I was at the office (my client's) during last Bowl ;  wearing my SAS baseball cap would have been ludicrous ^^. I'll wear it next time. Cheers Ronan ... View more

Hello @EdoardoRiva ,   Thanks for sharing these articles. They're mandatory reading for OpenShift practitioners with Viya.  I wanted to know what account privileges are required to apply the scc manifest generated on the fly :   oc -n get scc sas-cas-server -o json | jq '.volumes += ["ephemeral"]' | oc -n apply -f -   is it Openshift admin cluster-wide or SAS Viya namespace admin ? In our on-prem site, we deploy within a shared Openshift cluster therefore administration privileges cluster-wide and ns admin roles are kept strictly separate.    Ronan ... View more
