CEDA: The Invisible Hand

Overview Cross-Environment Data Access (CEDA) allows Version 7 or later SAS data sets created on any directory-based host supported by SAS such as Windows, Linux, or Solaris to be transparently read by the SAS System on another directory-based host. It can also be used after a directory-based host is upgraded from 32-bit to 64-bit to read the existing 32-bit data sets. Data sets from another directory-based host can be accessed from a Network File Services (NFS) mounted drive or copied to the new host with File Transfer Protocol (FTP) in binary mode. CEDA provides many benefits, but it also important to understand its limitations. This paper tries to make the benefits and limitations of CEDA easy to understand.
