System Updates | SAS Viya IssuesFile Lock Issues - Issue Description: SAS Viya users have reported file lock errors when reading data from their workbenches during SAS job runs
- What to Expect: The team has found a solution to this, which requires re-mounting storage gateway workbenches. In order to mitigate the impact to production workflows, D&A team is coordinating with each affected organization to re-mount their workbenches at the most convenient time
- Affected Communities: Select SAS Viya Users with affected workbenches
- Call to Action: If you are facing this issue, please open a ServiceNow ticket for our team to remount your workbench.
Lagging Issues - SAS Viya users have reported intermittent lagging and freezing while utilizing the application.
- Due to the issue's intermittent nature, some users have reported that their issue has gone away by the time that a help desk ticket has been created.
- In order to capture the details for the D&A Team to investigate, please follow these instructions found within the Known Issues Log
- After following these instructions, please provide the information via a helpdesk ticket
Github Issue - Issue Description: SAS Viya users have reported issues accessing data within Hive due to issues with two of the environment’s worker nodes.
- What to Expect: The team continues to work with the SAS Vendor to obtain a patch that will resolve the issue. More updates will be shared once more information about the patch is available.
- Affected Communities: SAS Viya Users
- Call to Action: A new workaround has been published on this issue. Please follow these instructions found within the Known Issues Log

GitHub Overview | Agenda:GitHub Oveview - GitHub Concepts and Workflow
- (Live Demo) Using Git in SAS
GitHub Overview- GitHub is a web-based, version-control and collaboration tool for developers
- Founded on Git, an open source code management system
- Git tracks changes you make to files, so you have a record of what has been done
- You can revert to specific versions should you ever need to
- Git also makes collaboration easier, allowing changes by multiple people to all be merged into one source
GitHub Concepts - Repository: contains all of the project files and the entire revision history. Best practice is to always include a README file
- Branch: contains a unique version of all the project files within your repository.
- Stable production version is called master branch
- Commit: a snapshot of the project with newly added changes. Best practice is to include a commit message to describe the changes
- A branch will contain one or more “commits”
- Pull/Merge Request: A request to merge a branch into another (e.g. master)
- Typical Git Workflow (see the graphic within the recording)
(Live Demo) Using Git in SAS- Workflow:
- Create a new repo
- Generate access token
- Setup Git Profile in SAS
- Clone Repo
- Create a Branch
- Create a Pull Request
- Review code
- Merge Pull Request
- Update SAS with latest changes from master

Q&A | - Could you add both MDC and DRG?
A - Please submit this to our help desk so that we are able to better understand and answer your question. - I'm not clear on how we get to the GIT site...is that through IDM? Do we need to create a role in HARP?
A - As there are only so many licenses available, please open a request via our Request Form. - I was wondering about beneficiary information in the CDR. I saw a flow chart from April 2020 that said MBSF data would be available in the CDR starting June 2020. Is that data available? Would it be in the beneficiary schema?
A - Please submit this to our help desk so that we are able to better understand and answer your question. - Are we able to push from Viya like you did in the demo?
A - Yes, you should have access to this. If you are experiencing issues, please contact the help desk.
