Where to Store Data/Files in SAS Viya
Purpose
The following is a guide on where to store data and files within the SAS Viya environment.
Best Practice
Code (i.e. SAS Code)
Please store all code in your organization SAS Content folder.
Data (i.e. large SAS Datasets, PDF, txt, excel, csv)
Please store all files of these types in your organization workbench folder
Note: If you/your organization does not have access to the workbench folder, please open a ServiceNow ticket to request this. Within the ticket, please provide justification on why you need to store a large amount of files into these folders (i.e. purpose, type of files, etc.). We will work with CMS to provide a solution for your and your organization.
Tables
If you have data that you need to store in table format, please store it in your organization Hive database.
You can save data to your organization hive database using the following:
PROC CASUTIL; SAVE REPLACE INCASLIB="&mycaslib" CASDATA="claim_counts" OUTCASLIB="&mycaslib" CASOUT="claim_counts"; RUN;
