What is WPS for Workstations? included in the price. No confusion with which modules or libraries to license because it is all part of WPS for Workstations and Servers is a high value low the WPS system. By packaging all the modules cost alternative analytics software program that uses together, it significantly reduces support cost for the language of SAS. WPS supports the data step, your organization and greatly enhances portability many of the most popular procedures, the macro across users and hardware platforms. WPS is easy to language and a large number of data base engines. install and only takes ten minutes from start to finish With WPS for Workstations and Servers you can edit, including downloading the software. extract, transform and load software from nearly any database. You can run a multitude of statistical procedures on the data, from basic descriptive A Modern Programmers Interface statistics to exploratory analysis, analysis of variance, regression analysis and advanced time series WPS has a modern interface made for today’s analysis. programmers and developers. It is a full-featured multi-windowed and multi-threaded workbench. Using WPS Workbench, users can execute multiple jobs at once, continue to write code in the program All Inclusive, One Low Price editor, simultaneously view the log and listing files. WPS is a comprehensive solution. The WPS System is priced inclusively. That is, all the modules are The WPS Workbench contains the editor, Log and Listing windows. You can see an outline of your code and jump directly to any portion of the results window. The Workbench also is where you can link to remote platforms and WPS Servers. MineQuest Business Analytics www.MineQuest.com Product Overview Page 3 The WPS Workbench is extendable with third party WPS for Servers runs on Linux, Windows, AIX and plugins for the editor. You can, for example install Solaris platforms. These platforms are licensed by plugins that check and test PRX syntax. You can also Logical CPU and amount of RAM. modify the workbench by creating your own code Scalability snippets, change syntax coloring, etc… WPS is highly scalable. Run the same code on a The Workbench can also be extended via plugins to workstation, server or mainframe and benefit from use versioning and software revision control. It is the fact that WPS can run on the most popular important in production environments that platforms. WPS has numerous procedures that are programs are properly versioned and maintained in multi-threaded. Procedures such as MEANS, libraries where team programming takes place. SUMMARY and SORT and others can use multiple cores and reduce the time it takes to process data. Language of SAS WPS can also submit jobs to remote WPS Servers where there is more CPU power and memory to WPS uses the same language of SAS as you may be complete a task.

Data Service Providers Platforms WPS understands that a lot of analytics plays out in a WPS for Workstations runs on Windows and business-to-business environment. For example, Macintosh platforms. No longer are you relegated to creating reports or a model or even sending data to a single workstation platform. If your organization a third party is a basis for being labeled a DSP. Some has an investment in Apple Macintosh workstations competitors see this as an opportunity to unilaterally and laptops, you can license WPS for OS X (10.7 or modify their license agreement and charge higher on Intel architecture) and get the same great organizations significantly more for an annual experience that you would on Windows.

With the data step, you can create, modify and transform Database Access Engines variables with ease. Formats, informats, functions and call routines are all supported. The WPS data WPS for Workstation is unique in that it includes the step can handle large data sets containing billions of 16 most commonly used data base access engines. records. In addition, WPS can read and write native Access Engines allow you to read and write data to a SAS data sets allowing you to work in a hybrid data base that is hosted locally or on a remote environment if necessary. server. As your organization or department moves to different database architectures, WPS has you covered. WPS also includes the ability to read and Descriptive Statistics write PC files such as Excel, Access and SPSS. For getting a basic understanding of your data, WPS supports PROC MEANS, SUMMARY, FREQ, UNIVARIATE and CORR. Support for the Macro Language WPS supports the macro language. The macro language is a very versatile and useful tool. It is often Advanced Analytical Procedures used to reduce the amount of regular language code and facilitates passing information from one For more advanced analytical needs, WPS provides a procedure to another procedure or one data step to multitude of Procedures including: another data step. With the macro language, one ANOVA, CLUSTER, CORRESP, DISTANCE, FACTOR, can write programs that are both dynamic and FASTCLUS, GLM, GLMMOD, KDE, LOGISTIC, flexible.

WPS also includes additional functions, informats and formats for the Time Series Library. WPS Interop for R PROC R is all about is interfacing into the R ecosystem using WPS and allowing the user/developer/statistician to write R code and have it execute from within WPS. PROC R works as you would expect it to. You write R code, submit the job and WPS manages the output. The output comes back into the LOG and LISTING windows (or files if running batch) just like any other PROC. R graphs, charts, plots, and maps are viewable from the WPS Workbench as well. PROC R makes it easy to export your WPS data sets to R data frames and import R data frames back to WPS. WPS also manages missing values between the two systems. With PROC R, organizations can run R code in a proven production setting in batch mode or interactively from the WPS Workbench. PROC R also affords the model developer the opportunity to choose the language that best suits their needs.

  • Schneller Test Von WPS
    News Artikel Foren Projekte Links Über Redscope Join List Random Previous Next Startseite › Weblogs › StephanFrenzel's blog Schneller Test von WPS 1 July, 2009 - 22:00 — StephanFrenzel Liebe SASler, ich habe einen etwas älteren Post eines Kollegen http://www.redscope.org/node/1029 zum Anlaß genommen, mal einen schnellen Test des "WPS" (= World Programming System = ein alternativer SAS-Interpreter) zu machen. Ich habe einfach eines meiner Ad-hoc-Programme - das aber immerhin von einer ganzen Reihe von SAS-Features Gebrauch macht - in WPS geladen und ... Kurzes Resumee vorab: Tolles Gefühl, mit SAS in einer Eclipse-Umgebung zu arbeiten. Eclipse ist vom Handling her einfach unübertroffen und die Perspektive, Standard-Plugins von Eclipse nutzen zu können (WPS hält sich da bewußt offen!), ist verführerisch. Und: Ich hab's nach einer halben Stunde tatsächlich geschafft, das Programm komplett laufen zu lassen. Aber: Ein paar Features fehlen WPS doch und einen ziemlich heftigen Bug hab ich gefunden. Mein Original-SAS-Programm und das für WPS modifizierte gibt's hier (Original) und hier (WPS- Variante). ... von der ersten bis zu letzten Zeile, was lief und wo Änderungen nötig waren: 1. PROC SQL mit ODBC-Zugriff (auf MySQL) ... läuft problemlos! 2. PROC IMPORT einer Excel-Datei ... Excel wird in PROC IMPORT nicht definiert. > Schade, läßt sich im konkreten Fall aber durch Umstellung von Excel auf Delimited lösen. 3. PROC SQL mit "delete from xyz where key in (select ..." ... Oje, dieses SQL-Konstrukt bringt den im Hintergrund laufenden WPS-Server in arge Schwierigkeiten. Bei mehreren Tests ist er entweder nie zum Ende gekommen, oder hat sich sofort beendet.
