SAS Viya requires what encoding for SAS7BCAT files when importing?

  1. HTML
  2. UTF-8
  3. EN-US
  4. CASL

Answer(s): B

Explanation:

According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, SAS Viya requires UTF-8 encoding for SAS7BCAT files when importing. You can find this information in the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 120. SAS Viya requires UTF-8 encoding for SAS7BCAT files when importing. UTF-8 is a variable-length character encoding for Unicode, it is capable of encoding all possible characters or code points in Unicode. This makes it a suitable choice for SAS7BCAT files, which may contain characters from multiple languages and scripts.



What do data formats specify?

  1. how data is read into a container
  2. how data syntax can be used
  3. how data values are to be displayed
  4. how data can be merged

Answer(s): C

Explanation:

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.



What statement is TRUE regarding global caslibs?

  1. Global caslibs enable the sharing of in-memory data with CAS sessions
  2. Global caslib definitions are persisted in the SAS Viya home directory
  3. Any user who is logged in to a SAS Viya application can access global caslibs
  4. Global caslibs are deleted when the CAS server is stopped

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Global caslibs are special kinds of caslibs that allow the sharing of in-memory data between CAS sessions. Global caslibs are defined in the SAS Viya configuration file and are persisted in the CAS server. Any user who is logged in to a SAS Viya application can access global caslibs, and they are not deleted when the CAS server is stopped.

A global caslib is a caslib that is available to all CAS sessions, regardless of the user who is logged in to the SAS Viya application. Global caslibs are useful for sharing data between different CAS sessions, and can be used to improve performance by keeping frequently used data in memory. Global caslibs are defined in the CAS configuration file and are available to all CAS sessions as soon as the CAS server is started.



What is an authentication domain used to store?

  1. the user id and password required to access an external data source and the identities that are allowed to use those credentials
  2. user id required to access an external data source and the identities that are allowed to use that account
  3. an encryption key that is required to read data at rest in a path assigned to a caslib and the identities that are allowed to use the key
  4. the password required to access an external data source and the identities that are allowed to use those credentials

Answer(s): D

Explanation:

Authentication domains are used to store the passwords required to access an external data source, such as a database or a file system. These authentication domains also record the identities of users who are allowed to use the credentials stored in the authentication domain. This allows the CAS server to ensure that only authorized users can access the data source.
