This intensive training course provides accelerated learning for those who will use SAS Data Integration processes, including data cleansing and enrichment, ETL processing, and data federation. This course is for individuals who are comfortable with learning large amounts of information in a short period of time. The Using SAS Data Integration Studio to Build Data Marts from Enterprise Data Sources, Using SAS Data Integration Studio to Create Efficient ETL Processes, and Using the SAS Data Quality Solution to Cleanse Your Data courses are available to provide the same type of information in a more detailed approach over a longer period of time.
Learn how to
- create data mart/data warehouse tables necessary for querying and reporting
- deploy jobs for scheduling
- maintain jobs that build tables by tracking efficiencies
- incorporate data quality standards in ETL flows
- perform maintenance of the Quality Knowledge Base
- where possible, take advantage of the SAS Scalable Performance Data Server.
