Hi, Is your program running locally on your computer or are you just kicking it off from your computer to run on a SAS server? If local, each person would need a license for SAS on their own machine to run the program. If on a server, your organization likely has client licenses for the software that would be used to submit the program (such as SAS Enterprise Guide). Please provide a little more detail about your environment and it will be easier to give a more conclusive answer. Thanks, Lee ... View more

The official SAS statement of supported operating systems for Linux x64 is here: SAS Supported Operating Systems. When SAS designates an environment as officially supported, it means that the SAS software referenced has been tested in the officially supported environment(s). As Linus Hjorth notes in his comments, SAS does not have recommend one environment over another. Multiple operating systems/distributions are supported to allow customers to choose what platform(s) they run SAS on. If your organization does not have an established platform preference (in-house policies, experience, licensing and support agreements with other vendors would typically drive this), it may be time to establish one among the environments SAS supports. ...

If you are running on 32-bit hardware, you'll need a 32-bit version of Virtual Box that supports 64-bit guests. The Virtual Box software has to run on your hardware, with 32-bit software if that is what your machine is. SAS University Edition only runs in 64-bit, but Virtual Box simulates that. If you are still having trouble, please contact SAS Technical Support for assistance. ... View more

Assuming that Gerolo is trying to install with a proper SID file and SAS Plan file for the platform and machine he is trying to install on, SAS Tech Support will assist him with the install. That support is part of the service provided to all licensed SAS customers. If he doesn't have the SID file and/or Plan file, then his SAS account rep will have to assist him in getting those. SAS Professional Services (where I work) is certainly happy to provide consulting support at varying levels from advice and direction to doing all the work. That's an option for customers who desire more assistance, but I've been involved with many customers who have solved similar install problems with only the help of SAS Tech Support. ... View more

Gerolo, Given the complexity of the install and configuration you are doing, I'd strongly recommend that you open a ticket with SAS Technical Support either by filling out the web form on this page: Technical Support Form or calling the phone number on this page: Contact SAS Institute Technical Support. As a SAS customer, your license includes access to SAS Technical Support and they are skilled at helping resolve complex problems of this type. Regards, Lee ... View more

From time to time we encounter customers with very large input streams of IT data (especially from networks, but also from the biggest CICS and DB2 shops) with hundreds of millions to approaching a billion records, many of which have to be processed but may not be kept. Rod is also working on creating a Hadoop adapter and reporting to use ITRM to process Hadoop performance metrics in the standard fashion, ... View more
