Step 1: Import Data into the Public Caslib

A. Verify Data is Already in the Public Caslib

  1. Check Available Data in the Public Caslib:

    • Open SAS Studio or SAS Visual Analytics.

    • Run the following code to list all tables in the Public caslib:

    Code Block
    languagesas
    proc cas;
   table.tableInfo / caslib="Public";
quit;

...

  1. Locate your dataset by checking the output or the In-memory data list if you are searching for it in the Manage Data pane.

B. Import Data to the Public Caslib (if not present)

  1. Prepare the Dataset:

    • Ensure the dataset is in a supported format such as .csv, .xlsx, or .sas7bdat.

  2. Upload the Dataset to the Public Caslib:

    a. Upload the Dataset Using SAS Code:
    Follow these steps to upload the dataset into the Public caslib.

    Code Block
    languagesas
    cas;
libname public cas caslib="public";

/* When you "promote" a CAS table, it becomes global-scoped, allowing it to be accessed by other users and sessions */

data public.<your_data_name> (promote=yes);
   set <sas_data>;
run;

    • Replace <your_data_name> with your desired name for the table in the Public caslib.

    • Replace <sas_data> with the name of your SAS data.

    b. Importing the Data from Your Local Computer or Workspace:

...

Navigate to the Manage Data pane. Click on “Sources,” then select the “Public” caslib. Next, right-click on the data you wish to use for your report and choose “Add to import.”

...

Step 2: Save the Report in the Public Folder

  3. Save the Report:

    • Navigate to File > Save As.

    • Save the report in the Public folder under SAS Content.

  4. Verify Report Location:

    • Navigate to the Public folder in the Content pane to confirm that the report is saved correctly.

Key Points and Best Practices

  • Data Requirement:

    • The report must use data stored in the Public caslib; otherwise, it cannot be accessed by users without SAS Viya credentials.

  • Verify Permissions:

    • Ensure appropriate read permissions are set for the Public caslib and Public folder content.

  • Secure Data Handling:

    • Only upload non-sensitive or anonymized datasets to the Public caslib.
