Supporting Stored Processes

A stored process is a SAS program that is stored on a server and defined in metadata. For information about how stored processes are incorporated in SAS Visual Analytics, see the SAS Visual Analytics: User’s Guide. For information about how to create and register a stored process, see Managing Stored Process Metadata in the SAS Stored Processes: Developer’s Guide.
The following considerations are specific to the administration of stored processes for SAS Visual Analytics:
  • Stored processes can use any available data source (not only LASR tables). However, running stored processes against large LASR tables is not a high-performance operation. Any referenced LASR tables must be read from the SAS LASR Analytic Server into a SAS session in the SAS Stored Process Server. Using a stored process to read large tables from memory is not a high-performance operation.
  • Most SAS procedures are available to only sites that license additional software (such as Base SAS). For a site that licenses only SAS Visual Analytics, most stored processes do not run.
