All reporting and exploration
of data in SAS Visual Analytics is performed against data that is
in memory on a SAS LASR Analytic Server.
In addition to the in-memory tables, you can use your own data with
self-service data access if you have been granted the Import and Load
Data capability.
If your site has data
that must be prepared before it is ready for analysis, the data builder
can perform basic data preparation and load data to memory on a SAS LASR Analytic Server.
The following list summarizes the data builder features that enable
the flow of data from source systems into SAS Visual Analytics:
-
Joining tables, such as fact and
dimension tables.
-
Working with
SAS/ACCESS engines
to read and write data with operational systems.
-
Scheduling data queries for basic
data flow automation.
SAS Visual Analytics
Administrator provides features that are most commonly associated
with managed data access. The administrator enables control
of whether tables are loaded to memory and secures access to in-memory
tables.
