  • Wait, I Don't Want to Be the Linux Administrator for SAS VA
    SESUG Paper 88-2017 Wait, I don’t want to be the Linux Administrator for SAS VA Jonathan Boase; Zencos Consulting ABSTRACT Whether you are a new SAS administrator or switching to a Linux environment, you have a complex mission. This job becomes even more formidable when you are working with a system like SAS Visual Analytics that requires multiple users loading data daily. Eventually a user will have data issues or create a disruption that causes the system to malfunction. When that happens, what do you do next? In this paper, we will go through the basics of a SAS Visual Analytics Linux environment and how to troubleshoot the system when issues arise. INTRODUCTION Many companies choose to implement SAS Visual Analytics in a Linux environment. With a distributed deployment, it’s the only choice but many chose this operating system because it reduces operating costs. If you are the newly chosen SAS platform administrator, you might be more versed in a Windows environment and feel intimidated by Linux. This paper introduces using basic Linux commands and methods for troubleshooting a SAS Visual Analytics environment. The paper assumes that SAS Visual Analytics is installed on a SAS 9.4 platform for Linux and that the reader has some familiarity with other operating systems, such as Windows. PLATFORM ADMINISTRATION 101 SAS platform administrators work with three main product areas. Each area provides a different functionality based on the task the administrator needs to perform. The following figure defines each area and provides a general overview of its purpose. Figure 1 Platform Administrator Tools Operating System SAS Management SAS Environment •Contains installed Console Manager software •Access and manage the •Monitor the •Contains logs used for metadata environment troubleshooting •Control database •Configure custom alerts •Administer host system connections users •Manage user accounts •Manage the LASR server With any operating system, there is always a lot to learn.

  • UNIX Shell Programming (15CS35) Solution Internal Assessment
    UNIX Shell Programming (15CS35) Solution Internal Assessment- II November - 2016 1. Explain significance of following commands (2x5=10 M) i. cp ?????? progs Wild card ? matches any single character, hence the above command (cp) copies files whose names are six in length to progs directory ii. ls *.[xyz]* Wild card * matches any number of characters, hence the above command (ls) lists all the files having extension as either x, or y or z. iii. ls jones[0-9][0- 9][0-9] In the above command the character class[0-9] matches any digit between 0 to 9. Hence the above command lists all the files beginning with jones and having last three characters as any digit between 0 to 9. iv. echo * The above command lists all the file in the current directory. v. cp foo foo* The above command copies the file foo to file called foo*. Here the wild card * loses its meaning. 1. Write UNIX commands for the following (2 X 5= 10 M) i. Find and replace all the occurrences of unix with UNIX in the file after confirming the user. : 1,$s/unix/UNIX/gc ii. List all the files in the current directory which names are having exactly 5 characters and any number of characters in their extension. ls ?????.* iii. Copy all files stored in /home/vtu with .c, .cpp and .java extensions to progs sub- directory in current directory cp /home/vtu/*.{c,cpp,java} ./progs iv. Delete all files containing agra or agar in their file names. rm *ag[ra][ar]* v.

  • Process Text Streams Using Filters
    Process Text Streams Using Filters OBJECTIVE: Candidates should should be able to apply filters to text streams. 1 Process Text Streams Using Filters KeyKEY knowledge KNOWLEDGE area(s): AREAS: Send text files and output streams through text utility filters to modify the output using standard UNIX commands found in the GNU textutils package. 2 Process Text Streams Using Filters KEY FILES,TERMS, UTILITIES cat nl tail cut paste tr expand pr unexpand fmt sed uniq head sort wc hexdump split join tac 3 cat cat the editor - used as a rudimentary text editor. cat > short-message we are curious to meet penguins in Prague Crtl+D *Ctrl+D - command is used for ending interactive input. 4 cat cat the reader More commonly used to flush text to stdout. Options: -n number each line of output -b number only non-blank output lines -A show carriage return Example cat /etc/resolv.conf ▶ search mydomain.org nameserver 127.0.0.1 5 tac tac reads back-to-front This command is the same as cat except that the text is read from the last line to the first. tac short-message ▶ penguins in Prague to meet we are curious 6 head or tail using head or tail - often used to analyze logfiles. - by default, output 10 lines of text. List 20 first lines of /var/log/messages: head -n 20 /var/log/messages head -20 /var/log/messages List 20 last lines of /etc/aliases: tail -20 /etc/aliases 7 head or tail The tail utility has an added option that allows one to list the end of a text starting at a given line.
