This section provides examples of how you can run high-performance analytical procedures in asymmetric mode.
Asymmetric mode is commonly used when the data appliance and the computing appliance are distinct appliances. In order to be able to use an appliance as a data provider for high-performance analytical procedures that run in asymmetric mode on another appliance, it is not necessary that SAS High-Performance Econometrics be installed on the data appliance. However, it is essential that a SAS Embedded Process be installed on the data appliance and that SAS High-Performance Econometrics be installed on the computing appliance.
The following examples use a 24-node data appliance named "data_appliance.sas.com," which houses a Teradata DBMS and has a SAS Embedded Process installed.
The following statements load the simData
data set of the preceding sections onto the data appliance:
libname dataLib teradata server ="tera2650" user =XXXXXX password=YYYYY database=mydb; data dataLib.simData; set simData; run;
Note: You can provision the appliance with data even if SAS High-Performance Econometrics software is not installed on the appliance.
The following subsections show how you can run the HPLOGISTIC procedure asymmetrically on distinct data and computing appliances.
