SAS Enterprise Guide


Following are several examples of SAS 9.4 solutions that contain user interface features that you can use to issue SAS/CONNECT statements to bridge the SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya environments:

SAS Enterprise MinerFrom your SAS Enterprise Miner process flow diagram running on SAS 9.4, you can remotely submit SAS Data Mining and Machine Learning procedures to run in SAS Viya and then return the results to SAS 9.4 and integrate them into the SAS Enterprise Miner output.

SAS Model ManagerYou can run SAS Data Mining and Machine Learning procedures and train models in your SAS Viya environment, and then upload the models and the models’ metadata to SAS 9.4. From SAS 9.4, you can remote submit code to register the SAS Viya created model and metadata in SAS Model Manager. You can use SAS Model Manager to manage both your SAS 9.4 models and your SAS Viya models. For example, you can use SAS Model Manager to deploy score code derived from both SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya models to a database.

SAS Data Integration StudioYou can use SAS Data Integration Studio on SAS 9.4 to perform tasks such as fetching data from multiple sources and preparing the data for mining. Then, you can use the Data Transfer node to upload the data table to SAS Viya and load it directly into memory.

SAS Enterprise Guide / SAS Add-In for Microsoft OfficeYou can use the custom code nodes in either of these products to upload or download data between the two environments. For example, you could remote submit code to SAS Viya for processing, and then return the computational results back to SAS Enterprise Guide on SAS 9.4.

SAS StudioYou can use the SAS Studio web interface to perform many programming actions in SAS Viya. For example, you could enter code in SAS Studio to access data in your

SAS Viya environment, remotely submit SAS Viya procedures to run on the data, and then transfer the results data between the two environments.

SAS Stored ProcessesYou can save SAS/CONNECT SIGNON, RSUBMIT, UPLOAD, and DOWNLOAD statements as SAS Stored Processes, and then use the SAS Stored Processes as another way to bridge your SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya environments.
