Question 2

Which type of SAS 9 content CANNOT be promoted to SAS Viya?



Answer : A

User groups cannot be promoted to SAS Viya when promoting content from SAS 9.

As for the other types of SAS 9 content, OLAP cubes, folders, and data libraries and tables can all be promoted to SAS Viya.


Question 3

Global caslibs are defined in the CAS configuration file and are available to all CAS sessions as soon as the CAS server is started.
