@StuartRogers Thank you a lot for this blog. As there have been changes for service account and how the domain is configured as you informed in your other article, SAS Viya 2023.07 Run As Authentication Update, do the changes have impact here how the oauth2.0 is defined and token expiry? Also when creating the  credentials for servers they are not visible anymore in domain view of Environment Manager. It would help a lot if you can provide some guidance here.   ... View more

This is a great article and written in such away that one can really follow how Kubernetes plans the workload. I am not an expert about Kubernetes, but heard in my environment that sometimes defining no  limits on CPU can be useful. Of course there will be as always pros and cons, pls see the link For the Love of God, Stop Using CPU Limits on Kubernetes (Updated) | Robusta   ... View more

hello Stuart R., the article is a great! As it was not so clear what value should be put in the configuration (option 3 in your article), one year or something else. So, I went for option two - refreshing with a job - and it works beautifully!!! Thank you a lot. One has to read your article carefully but then it works ( sometimes read twice). What helped me is not to run this code in SAS Studio but to schedule as a job and wait at least 24 hours from the creation date than you can refresh the token with the given job. ... View more

hello Rob, I was reading an article telling that CPU limits on Kubernetes are an antipattern, pls see for example For the Love of God, Stop Using CPU Limits on Kubernetes (Updated) | Robusta . I was wondering if this can be useful as well. I am happy to hear your thoughts. regards Karolina. ... View more

hello Gerry, thank you for this article, now I know what for the inventory report is. After reading this blog, I have installed klog as well. However, I am not able to execute the inventory scan  probably because of large number of audit entries. On request of our users which are interested to see who is reading the reports, we have set audit recording.level to high but we only retain 7 days of audit records. The inventory scan has scanned more than one million audit entries and then it has generated the following error at audit.entry 1086000: kubectl -n viya logs -l job-name=sas-inventory-collector-job | klog Defaulted container "sas-inventory-collector" out of: sas-inventory-collector, sas-certframe (init) WARN  2023-09-25 12:43:48.720 +0000 [sas-inventory-collector] - Error invoking API /audit/entries 401 /audit/entries INFO  2023-09-25 12:43:48.720 +0000 [sas-inventory-collector] - 1086000 inventory items collected /audit/entries   When I changed back the level of  audit records to low, then I was able to execute the scan. The same happens when you have a lot of files in content. Is possible to make the inventory job to be able to perform also when there are a lot of items? Maybe you have some other advise or there is another reason. Thank you ... View more

Thank you for this article. One question about expiry of the token. I thought that if you are running jobs using group-managed service account, than the token will refresh itself. Is this true? ... View more

hello Hans, thank you very much for your helpful links, I have also used blog SAS Viya Authenticating as a Custom Application. I was able to test the time difference with your code for Job Execution. It is great to experience on a practical example of how reusable servers work.  ... View more

hello Hans, thank you for your answer. I have not created a Bearer token yet. One clarification question when I am on kubernetes where the sas viya is deployed, after logging in with my profile I am able to run CLI or sas viya python tools. However, if I want to run a curl request, how can I authenticate to viya, do I have to create a Bearer token or with my user account? I would like to be able to run this curl command like you did. regards Karolina T ... View more

Thank you for addressing this question as I was also lately curious about who am I to kubernetes. One clarification question when I am on kubernetes where the sas viya is deployed, after logging in I am able to run CLI or sas viya python tools. However, if I want to run a curl request, how can I authenticate to viya, do I have to create a Bearer token or with my user account? I would like to be able to run this command below from kubernetes   curl "https://viya.host.com/SASJobExecution/?_program=/Public/ScoringTest&_action=execute" \ --header "Content-Type: application/json" \ --header "Authorization: Bearer $CLIENT_ACCESS_TOKEN" \ -s -o /dev/null -w "%{http_code}"   ...

thank you for this article. We are now looking into the requirements for external Postgres, however the high availability is a challenge and of course there are also extra costs. Is SAS going to continue providing internal Postgres database after 2023.06 version? does everyone have to migrate to external postgres? If you have answers to these questions, it will help us a lot with planning. ... View more
