Connecting SAS System to TDV ODBC

The SAS system must be installed and functional, for example in the following location:

/opt/sas

For more information, see the installation instructions for the SAS System for Unix.

To configure the connection between the TDV server through ODBC from SAS

1. Make sure that the SAS System is installed and has write access to SAS environment sasenv_local configuration script.
2. Adjust the SAS environment script sasenv_local by adding the necessary environment variables. The script is ltypically ocated at:
/opt/sas/SASFoundation/9.3/bin/sasenv_local

Make sure to set the following environment variables:

Variable

Description

COMPOSITE_HOME

COMPOSITE_HOME=/usr/local/composite/
export COMPOSITE_HOME 

ODBCHOME

ODBCHOME=/usr/local/unixODBC
export ODBCHOME

ODBCINI

ODBCINI=/usr/local/unixODBC/etc/odbc.ini
export ODBCINI

ODBCINSTINI

ODBCINSTINI=/usr/local/unixODBC/etc/odbcinst.ini
export ODBCINSTINI
3. Test the SAS/Access to ODBC connectivity using the Composite data source by running the following command:
libname comptest odbc datasrc=COMPDEV;

Your results should be similar to:
