One of the hidden gems of SAS Studio is the ability to run process flows in parallel. This feature really shines when used in a grid environment. Let’s discuss this one step at a time. First, what is a process flow? When working in the Visual Programmer perspective, you have
Im diesem Gastbeitrag von Cloudera geht es darum, wie Big Data effizient gemananged werden können. Cloudera präsentiert sich auf dem diesjährigen SAS Forum in Bonn (28. April) mit einem eigenen Stand. Lassen wir ab jetzt Cloudera sprechen: Analytik ist wertschöpfend für Unternehmen. SAS Anwender wissen das besser als alle anderen.
It’s been an amazing journey with Hadoop. As we discussed in an earlier blog, Hadoop is informing the basis of a comprehensive data enterprise platform that can power an ecosystem of analytic applications to uncover rich insights on large sets of data. With YARN (Yet Another Resource Negotiator) as its
今年もユーザー総会が8/6・8/7で行われました。会場にて、あるユーザーの方に「SAS Enterprise Guideのよりよい使い方などに関する情報があればもっと教えてほしい」と相談を受けましたので、今回はそれを取り上げたいと思います。 SAS Enterprise Guideとは、SAS Business Intelligenceの主要アプリケーションのひとつです。定型レポートの作成や定型レポートで発見した課題をより深く掘り下げて詳細な課題箇所を特定するアドホックレポーティングに使用する、グラフィカルユーザーインターフェースを備えたツールです。SAS Global Forumではそのようなツールの使い方Tips等実際のユーザーの方々の便利な利用方法が紹介されたりしています。今回は、SAS Global Forum 2015および2014から、SAS Enterprise Guideの使い方に関わるものをピックアップしてみました。 最新バージョンで追加された新機能については、こちらの What's New in SAS(R) 9.4 にまとまっており、最新バージョンの7.1および7.11においても継続的に機能が追加されていますので、是非ご参照ください。 二つほど最近追加された機能をご紹介します。 Enterprise Guideには昨今約90に上るタスク機能が搭載されています。初心者の方であれば自分の使いたいタスクを見つけるのが大変なので検索機能が欲しいでしょうし、使い慣れた方であれば、マウス操作とはいえ、使いたいタスクまでマウスを移動させる時間も惜しいでしょう。さらには、いつも使うタスクは決まっている人は、「最近使ったタスク」が欲しいことと思います。最近これらの悩みを解決する「タスクブラウザ」という機能が新たに追加されました。 さらに、私の身近にもEnterprise Guideをマウスで目にもとまらぬスピードで操っている人がいます。そのような人が長年待ち望んでいた機能も実現しています。プロセスフローダイアグラム上で結合したい複数のデータを選択し、クエリビルダを選択することで、複数の入力テーブルを一度の操作で設定することが可能となりました。 是非ご活用ください。 このようなことが、下記に紹介するドキュメントには掲載されています。 2015 Creating Keyboard Macros in SAS® Enterprise Guide® キーボードマクロを作成する方法が紹介されています Easing into Analytics Using SAS® Enterprise Guide® 6.1 基本的な使用方法が紹介されています Joining Tables Using SAS® Enterprise
Hadoop has been called a game changer technology. Here’s why: - DATA IS DIFFERENT: We now have to deal with both structured and unstructured data. - NO LIMITS: We now deal with Terabyte or Petabyte data size and not just with old Megabyte. - COMPLEXITY: We work with complex multi-server
As discussed in the last BFD post, sometimes a difficult and expensive problem doesn't have to be solved -- it can simply be avoided. When the teetering boulder threatened the baby below the cliff, we removed the baby and no longer had to worry about propping up the boulder. When it
I was privileged with the opportunity to present a couple of papers at SAS Global Forum 2015 in Dallas, Texas this year. While there, I was also excited to attend presentations with new and inventive approaches for working with the administration and architecture of SAS solutions. This is a collection
Hadoop, in-memory analytics, the Internet of Things (IoT), machine learning, data visualization— topics that are dominating the analytics airwaves. SAS is innovating in all these areas, rapidly developing new products and functionality to meet the needs of today’s analytic environment. During this year’s Technology Connection session, SAS Global Forum 2015
Many experienced and novice SAS programmers take advantage of the power of a “language within a language” offered by PROC SQL, SAS/IML and the SAS Macro Facility. But how many of you are aware of recently added languages and techniques? These newer tools are designed to help SAS programmers leverage
Editor's note (1/13/16): This post has been updated with full paper presentations from SAS Global Forum 2015. Enjoy! This year, the number of presentations, Super Demos and workshops to help with the administration of SAS software and its hardware infrastructure is growing at SAS Global Forum 2015. This is wonderful news to
SAS Support Communities provide a forum in which to engage and share with your fellow SAS experts, now in over 20 topic areas including Forecasting and Econometrics. This is the go-to website for your hard core modeling questions, such as "Holdouts in PROC ARIMA," "2-stage Heckman (1979) procedure," and the
For those of you who have followed my SAS Administration blogs, you will know that setting up your IO subsystem (the entire infrastructure from the network/fibre channels in your physical server, across your connections, to the fibre adapters into the storage array, and finally to the physical disk drives in
When SAS is used for analysis on large volumes of data (in the gigabytes), SAS reads and writes the data using large block sequential IO. To gain the optimal performance from the hardware when doing these IOs, we strongly suggest that you review the information below to ensure that the
Scalability is the key objective of high-performance software solutions. “Scaling out” is a concept which is accomplished by throwing more server machines at a solution so that multiple processes can run in dedicated environments concurrently. This blog post will briefly touch on several scalability concepts that affect SAS.
In a comment on last week’s blog asking SAS administrators: please submit your paper idea for SAS Global Forum 2015, Andrew Howell of ANJ Solutions asked if I had any statistics on which were the most popular SAS administrator papers for last year’s conference. He suggested the following nominations although
It was wonderful to see and talk with so many SAS Administrators at SAS Global Forum this year. If you’re like me, you may have finished the conference wondering why it wasn’t possible to be two places at once because there was so much terrific content that it was impossible
My journey to SAS Global Forum each year resembles a Gartner “Hype Cycle”. Every year, I leave the conference with a million ideas about how I can take what I’ve learned back into my own practice and think (foolishly) that I should write a paper on this or that. Then there
SAS 9.4 has been out for some time now, and all SAS grid computing enthusiasts know that one of the new features is that SAS Workspace Server processes can be directly launched on the grid. (See The Top Four User-Requested Grid Features Delivered with SAS® Grid Manager 9.4.) What does
Recently I delivered a SAS Talks session: SAS 9.4: What’s New for SAS® Administrators . We had a large group attend and subsequently had a wonderful flood of questions that we couldn’t always keep up with. So I wanted to follow up with some of the popular questions:
Do your SAS programs read extra-large volumes of data? Do they run multiple DATA steps and procedures one after the other for hours at a time? Two papers from MWSUG 2013 show how you can speed up those long-running SAS jobs. Although their approaches and environments differed, both authors made
What do you do all day long? I spend my time speaking with customers about what’s new in SAS 9.4, answering technical questions, and showing new users what they can do in SAS. You might spend your time on SAS data management tasks such as bringing in data and joining
In my last post, I introduced the hardware solutions (such as a virtual IP switch or IP load balancer) that enable client applications to access services regardless of whether they are running on a primary or a failover server in a grid-enabled environment configured with high availability. In this post,
If you're a SAS administrator and haven't registered or planned your agenda for SAS Global Forum 2013, here are a few key happenings to tempt you!
Happy belated New Year! For what it’s worth, no, I am not calling you a “dummy” or writing this just for Chris Hemedinger– just wanted to get your attention. This blog is actually an introduction to a series that I am kicking off this year entitled: "It's all about the data…"
A key tool for SAS Viya admins and many users is the command line interface (CLI). You can think of it in terms of other CLIs, but with direct access to SAS Viya. The CLI facilitates automation of tasks as well as other administrative functions. You can find information about
There’s plenty of buzz about innovation and thinking outside of the box at SAS these days. But for those who attended SAS' Patent Dinner, the proof was in the patent. SAS Legal Counsel Director Tim Wilson offered opening remarks at The Umstead event. “So much of what we do in
A team of SAS employees recently participated in a data-for-good project focusing on forest fires in the Amazon. In conjunction with the Amazon Conservation Association (ACA), the team explored options to collect and analyze publicly available imagery and fire data to better understand the drivers for forest fires as well
With the release of SAS Viya 2020.1.4, text categories and concept models can now be deployed into production with just a few clicks and used to score data in-batch and via API! You can also now use these models in decision flows.
A note from Udo Sglavo: When people ask me what makes SAS unique in the area of analytics, I will mention the breadth of our analytic portfolio at some stage. In this blog series, we looked at several essential components of our analytical ecosystem already. It is about time to
