SAS Analytics Pro cloud-native version was published in August 2021. This release is built on the SAS Viya Platform and includes all of the features of Base SAS, SAS/STAT, and SAS/GRAPH via SAS Studio – a browser-based interface familiar to users of recent SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya server setups.
The cloud-native version now includes the entire SAS Viya suite of SAS/ACCESS products, allowing you access to a wide range of data sources!
1.Running on Windows, Mac, and Linux
2.A consistent environment – for example, your installation will not differ from that of your colleague. Ease of updating – SAS routinely updates and patches their software.Previously, this entailed locating, downloading, and installing the necessary updates. You only need to “point” to the SAS release (including upgrades) that you want to utilize.
3.Portability – if you purchase a new PC (or go from PC to Mac), you just copy your configuration over.
Installing Docker (the container-running software)
1.Using my.sas.com to obtain your license and certificate files
2.Creating a starting script for your SAS Analytics Pro environment
3.On the surface, this appears to be a simple process, but in case users are hesitant or doubtful (especially when it comes to building a launch script), we have designed a “launcher” approach to assist you. Our procedure is similar to the official SAS process, but we supply the script as well as a simple way to customize the features you wish to add.
There are numerous ways to tailor/customize this SAS Analytics Pro environment, and we have supplied some of the important choices available within the apro.settings file that comes with our launcher. This file contains comments that explain each option, as well as documentation in the CONFIGURATION.md file.
If you prefer to just log in and begin using SAS Analytics Pro, our Selerity Analytics Desktop offering offers SAS Analytics Pro as a service, which can also be connected into your existing IT infrastructure if necessary. You can use your existing security, login credentials, and code assets without having to maintain your own SAS infrastructure. If you want to learn more, please contact us!
