@Bogdan_Teleuca  thank you for explaining complex things in a simple manner. For the extra piece of mind, you advised to use secure backend communication, one shall update service to this? - name: ${LLMDASH}-https port: 443 # Service port exposed inside the cluster protocol: TCP targetPort: 8443 # <-- forward to pod HTTPS port I was actually using port 8080 inside the cluster. But I will consider to change it.   ... View more

@MichaelGoddard thank you for this clear article which I have read with pleasure. Now I know what core stateful set is of SAS Viya. Not only the cas nodes but also this determines the speed of Viya. When changing the storage class, is it also needed to investigate the size of redis? We have adjusted sas-work and cas disk cache to bigger sizes, but not the core services. ... View more

@AjmalFarzam , the new reports look quite useful. What seems not to be so clear: if it matters whether your activity.recording.level is set to low of medium level in order to have this graphs filled with data? ... View more

Thank you Gerry. The new pyviya tool snapshot content.py works beautifully and our team is keen on the naming convention showing the full path.  ... View more

These are great tools, however I have clarification question about the usage. If I want to make backup of reports I should use snapshotreports.  I So when to use snapshotcontent? Is it to backup SAS Code, images but no reports ? The tool snapshotcontent is also making a json package for reports ( only I could not restore from that)? Pls advise as we eager to use these tools. ... View more

Thank you for posting it. It is much appreciated.  It might be useful to clean transfer packages with python deletetransferpackages.py , so that you only have one recent package when performing this command to identify the package id: sas-viya --output json transfer list --name SalesContent$folderid regards Karolina T ...

@UttamKumar  thank you for this clear blog. I have tried it out for encrypted caslib and it works beautifully! Now I have to test if SAS9.4 can write (through DI) to encrypted caslib. ... View more

hello @Bogdan_Teleuca Very helpful article, also relevant in Viya 4. Thank you for the examples. I have a question about a second example when using logical gates: the job will start when or E or B will complete, but what is the job flow 0? Pls advise. ... View more

@ErikPearsall Thank you for this article as our customer also would like to have something like that. I did not yet implement this host launch in  our kustomization. I have tried to give SAS Admin only read rights and further nothing.  I can indeed load the table in memory but not see the sample data. However, even when I assume the superuser role I am not able to unlock myself. It is very important then that first you give access to someone, in your article Susan, as I assume she is the only one to unlock it and to manage the authorization for this table. After reading this article I have expected that assuming the superuser role would unlock the issue. ... View more

The comparison table is great! One question: if you stored the data compressed, is the data easy accessible to work with or do you need to decompress? ... View more

thank you very much Wilbram for your answer.  As advised I have started SAS Helpdesk case as the way of working with EG has changed ( one supposed to work without metadata server;  use some kind of credentials when logging directly on Workspace Server). I have asked it here as you provided very good guide how to make connection with Viya server and this part of SAS9.4 was not covered, however it has changed as well. Greetings from Holland and keep on making webinars like that! ... View more

@Wilbram-SAS hello Wibram, we would like to add as well a SAS 9.4 server. We have seen that in order to work with more than one server, so SAS Viya server and SAS 9.4 server, one should not select any profile. We did not find a way how to add SAS 9.4 server, the documentation says that you have to connect directly to workspace server of SAs 9.4. Can you give an example how to configure that?, regards Karolina T ... View more
