Each time you start SAS OnDemand for Academics software applications, they connect to a server. The servers remotely process any submitted SAS files or projects and return the results to your local machine.
We make best efforts to keep unexpected downtime to a minimum. There could be limited times when the servers are unavailable to support maintenance or upgrades. Notices are posted on the SAS OnDemand for Academics status page.
If you are unable to use a SAS OnDemand for Academics software application to perform processing, make sure that you have a working Internet connection. If you do, then the SAS Servers might be temporarily unavailable. Please try to use the servers again later.
- Regular Server Maintenance
- If server maintenance is needed, SAS tries to perform this work during nontraditional usage hours to lessen any impact to users. Scheduled maintenance events are posted on the SAS OnDemand for Academics status page.
- SAS uses the third Saturday of each month to perform scheduled maintenance on its systems (if needed). Therefore, the servers might be unavailable for a portion of time on the third Saturday of each month.
