Details

Configuration for SAS can vary greatly based on your computer's operating system and the SAS platform you wish to connect to (see vignette("configuration") for more information).

Regardless of your desired configuration, configuration always starts with the creation of a sascfg_personal.py file within the SASPy package installation. This will look like:

SAS_config_names = ['config_name']

config_name = {

}

SAS_config_names should contain a string list of the variable names of all configurations. Configurations are specified as dictionaries, and configuration parameters depend on the access method.

Additionally, some access methods will require an additional authentication file (.authinfo for Linux and Mac, ⁠_authinfo⁠ for Windows) stored in the user's home directory, which are constructed as follows:

config_name user {your username} password {your password}

Templates

The "none" template simply creates a sascfg_personal.py file within the SASPy package installation.

The "oda" template will set up a configuration for SAS On Demand for Academics. The sascfg_personal.py and authinfo files will be automatically configured using the information you provide through prompts.

Value

No return value.
