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.

      Self-Service Data Preparation in SAS® Viya®
      SHOW MORE ﹀
      This course provides an overview of the data preparation capabilities of SAS Data Preparation in SAS Viya. These data preparation capabilities include bringing data in from a variety of sources, assessing the structure and quality of data, preparing and cleansing the data to be fit for purpose, exploring and monitoring the relationships between objects in your environment, and sharing the data with others to promote collaboration and operational use.

    SAS Viya Programming Certification

    3

    • COURSE

      Accelerating SAS® Code on the SAS® Viya® Platform
      SHOW MORE ﹀
      This course is for SAS programmers who want to learn how to run code on the SAS Viya platform. In the course, you first learn how you can easily run traditional SAS code in SAS Viya like you have in SAS 9. Then you learn how to modernize your SAS code to take advantage of SAS Cloud Analytic Services (CAS) on the platform to boost program performance. CAS is a high-performance in-memory analytic engine that performs massively parallel processing (MPP) on data of any size, working with multiple machines, CPUs, and threads for lightning-fast results. The course focuses on how to access, manage, analyze, and manipulate in-memory tables on the distributed CAS server using traditional SAS code as well as new coding techniques. This course is not intended for beginning SAS software users.

    • COURSE

      High-Performance Data Processing with CASL in SAS® Viya®
      SHOW MORE ﹀
      In this course, you learn how to leverage SAS Cloud Analytics Services (CAS), the high-performance, in-memory analytics and distributed computing engine in SAS Viya. You learn how to access, explore, prepare, analyze, and summarize data using the native CAS programming language (CASL). CASL is a new scripting language designed to support the entire analytics life cycle.

    • COURSE

      SAS Viya Programming Certification Preparation
