Which statements are TRUE regarding a distributed (MPP) CAS server? (Choose two)
Serial load is when each worker node in turn loads data directly from the source, and serial load is when data is loaded through the session controller and then distributed to the worker nodes. Serial load is not the fastest method of data load, and it is not always available.
Where does a SAS administrator make modifications to add global-scope caslibs or load global-scope tables to the CAS server?
The cas_usermods.lua file is where SAS administrators can make modifications to add global-scope caslibs or load global-scope tables to the CAS server. The CAS configuration server monitors the cas_usermods.lua file and applies the settings whenever it changes.
What do data formats specify?
Data formats specify how data values are to be displayed, such as what type of numerical or textual representation should be used for a given set of data. This allows the data to be displayed in a way that makes sense to the user and is easily understandable. Data formats also define the structure and organization of the data, allowing it to be read into a container or merged with other data sources.
When submitting code remotely from an existing SAS client session using RSUBMIT, which server would process the code and return the results?
When submitting code remotely from an existing SAS client session using RSUBMIT, the SAS Workspace Server processes the code and returns the results. The RSUBMIT statement is used to submit SAS code to a remote SAS session, it connects the existing SAS client session to a remote SAS Workspace server and the code is executed on that remote server.
The SAS Compute Server is a computational engine that processes the analytics and modeling workloads. The SAS Launcher Server is responsible for managing the execution of SAS programs, it is responsible for starting, stopping, and monitoring the jobs and flows. SAS/CONNECT Server is a server that allows you to establish a connection between your SAS session and remote SAS servers, it's not responsible for processing the code.
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, the SAS Workspace Server is the server that provides the processing and results when using RSUBMIT. You can find this information in the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 31
The logging for the SAS Configuration Server is controlled by which file?
The logging for the SAS Configuration Server is controlled by the logconfig.xml file. This file is located in the config folder of the SAS Configuration Server installation. It is used to specify the type of logging, the log levels, and the location of the log files.
