Advanced Usage

Running SAS in batch

You can utilise the SAS Analytics Pro container to run your SAS programs in batch. This is achieved by following these steps:

  1. Save your program.sas file in the data directory.
  2. Run the following command:
./launchapro.sh --batch /data/program.sas

Note: You will notice that we saved the program file into the data directory, which is a subdirectory of this repo, but then referenced that same program with the absolute path /data/program.sas on the command line. This is because the data directory in this repo is mounted as /data within the SAS Analytics Pro environment.

Running SAS OQ Mode

SAS Analytics Pro can be run in SAS Operational Qualification Tool (SASOQ) mode. SAS Analytics Pro consists of Base SAS, SAS/STAT and SAS.GRAPH. The SAS testware for these products can be run using the --sasoq command line parameter of the launcher:

./launcher.[sh|ps1] --sasoq "-outdir /data/sasoq_results -tables *:base *:stat *:graph"

In the above example output will be written to the data/sasoq_results directory, and all tests for Base SAS, SAS/STAT and SAS/GRAPH will be executed.

Parameters to the SAS OQ tool can be specified within double quotes following the --sasoq launcher parameter. Further details can be found in the SAS 9.4 Qualification Tools User's Guide.

Custom Settings

Startup behaviour of some components of SAS Analytics Pro can be configured using usermod files, just like in SAS 9.4. These are:

Autoexec File

You can add SAS statements to run at startup by creating a autoexec_usermods.sas file in the sasinside directory.

SAS Configuration File

To set SAS System Options at startup, you can create a sasv9_usermods.cfg file in the sasinside directory.

SAS Spawner Environment

The Spawner is what starts your SAS session behind the scenes, and to customise it you can add a spawner_usermods.sh file in the sasinside directory. A common use for this is to allow SAS to run external commands (i.e. setting the -allowxcmd option).

SAS Workspace Environment

When using SAS Studio your SAS session under the covers is running a "workspace". To configure this environment you can add a workspaceserver_usermods.sh file to the sasinside directory.

SAS Batch Server Environment

If you run SAS programs in batch (using the --batch option) you can configure this SAS environment by adding a batchserver_usermods.sh file to the sasinside directory.

SAS Studio

If you need to configure the SAS Studio application then you can add those configuration settings to a init_usermods.properties file in the sasinside directory. A common example of this is to allow password based authentication to your git repositories by adding sas.studio.allowGitPassword=True.
