Re-using and Re-purposing your SAS programs via the
SAS Stored Process concept
The benefits of “re-use” and “re-purpose”
SAS Program
What is a SAS Stored Process?
– is a SAS program that is hosted on a server and described by metadata
– can be executed by ANY SAS client capable of interacting with the SAS Metadata Server repository (e.g. Web Report Studio/MS Office)
– can be executed by certain non-SAS technology components capable of interacting with the SAS Metadata Server repository (e.g. MS-Sharepoint)
– can be thought of a SAS “Shared Process”
– is capable of running SAS data access, data manipulation, analytics, business intelligence & reporting capabilities
Re-use and Re-purpose for
yourself or anybody who shares
your Enterprise Guide project
Why SAS Enterprise Guide (EG) is the de facto standard for building/deploying re-use and re-purpose
Re-use and Re-purpose for
your ultimate SAS end user community at large
(e.g. MS Office, web browser, etc.)
