SASJS-CLI¶
The SASjs Command-Line-Interface is a swiss-army knife with a flexible set of options and utilities for Dev Ops on both SAS 9 and Viya.
Core functionalities:
- Creation of a SAS GIT repository in an 'opinionated' way
- Compilation each service, including all the dependent macros / macro variables and pre / post code
- Build - creation of the master SAS deployment, including build macros, macro variables, and pre/post code
- Deployment - execute an array of local scripts and remote SAS programs to create your app on the SAS Server
There is also a feature to let you deploy your frontend as a service, bypassing the need to access the SAS Web Server.
