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,
then 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.
