That is looking a very weird installation you are having. Teradata is designed for big data (that is in the name). It is sometimes necessary to copy parts to a local SAS environment. But using the SASuser for that is not normal and should be avoided. Could be your analytics staff is assuming data is never going to SAS and all work is done by Teradata. By that also did the implementation that way with a less powerfull machine. You can use several appservers to the same machine with good reasons. One is for example using different encodings. You can use one for utf8 and another for latin1 with that. Parallel processing has become a standard feature with Eg 5.1. That is no reason anymore. Having several appservers on the same machine you can easily share the data between those. Using SAS connect is one of the best for sharing data. It can also use RLS services. When you are going to do that do not use the parallel processing with Eguide for setting up the connection (asynchronous mode).  By that you can see all things coming back in your Eguide session and you can give follow up processings. The disadvantage is that it will cause networktraffic and IO for an additional (big?) copy.  You have to contact you analytics admins.         ... View more
