About this Subscription
Gain expertise in applying SAS methods to design and implement fit-for-purpose data pipelines to support business applications and analytic solutions. Data is sourced from a variety of systems in many different formats. Data engineers need to connect to these source systems, efficiently extract the relevant data, and then cleanse and transform the data and load that data into target systems.
Learn how to:
- Understand the applications on the SAS Viya platform and how each is used in the phases of the SAS Analytics Life Cycle: Data, Discovery, Deployment and Orchestration.
- Access data from a variety of systems and formats and transform it for business or analytical objectives.
- Modify existing Base SAS programs to execute on the platform.
- Tune SAS programs accessing relational database tables for optimized execution.
- Profile data to understand the structure and content and identify data quality issues.
- Apply data quality algorithms to standardize data values and identify duplicate entities.
- Create SAS Studio flows to design data engineering pipelines to access, transform, and load tables.
- Design SAS Studio flow custom steps to execute customized programs.
- Schedule and manage jobs to execute SAS Studio flows.
- Process, transform, and publish event stream data in real time.
- Use SAS software with AWS cloud services.
No SAS experience or programming experience is required, although you should have some computer experience.
