Thank you for your comment Gordon. You are correct, for this technique to work the CAS controller must have access to the path that SASWORK is using. In the SAS Log, (figure 8), we can see that SERIAL data transfer mode was used in lifting the SASWORK table into CAS. That implies only the CAS controller has access to the path that SASWORK is using. To achieve parallel data transfer mode to CAS, all of the CAS worker nodes in addition to the CAS controller would need access to the path used by SASWORK. For SAS Viya running on Windows we only support a single-machine deployment which implies the CAS controller will have access to the path used by SASWORK.
