Nice post. Curious about the general workstream of setting up things in VA. Sounds like you had good ol' SAS code which crunched data, then you uploaded the data to the VA (LASR?) server, where it becomes available to users for analytics. Is that right?

In a real world application (not that santa isn't real), is there typically some sort of ETL job (perhaps even a DI studio job?) in the background which is loading data to the VA server?
