Load from Table

SAS Visual Analytics can transfer tables to the SAS LASR Analytic Server and have it load the table to memory. The table is read from the data source, transferred to the root node on the grid, distributed to the machines on the grid, and then it is loaded into memory. To load from a table:
  1. Locate the table using the SAS Folders view or by searching. Right-click the table icon and select Load from Table.
  2. Specify the SAS LASR Analytic Server and data parameters:
    Field
    Description
    Configuration directory
    This field specifies the location of the server description files.
    Server description file
    Use the menu to select the server instance to use or to specify the name of the server description file.
    Table
    The table name is populated automatically.
    Description
    Specify a description for the data. This description overrides the description that is associated with the data set. The description is displayed beside the table name in the explorer interface.
  3. Click Load.
The following items provide additional information about loading from a table:
  • The table to use as the data source must be registered in metadata before you can perform this procedure.
  • When the data is loaded, it is transferred to the root node of the server, distributed evenly among the machines in the grid, and then loaded into memory.
