In a programming-only SAS Viya deployment, which web application is available?
A
Explanation:
In a programming-only SAS Viya deployment, the web application SAS Studio is available. SAS Studio
is a web-based application that provides a workspace for SAS programmers to access, manage, and
analyze data, as well as creating, running and debugging SAS programs. This application is designed
for data scientists, statisticians, and programmers who need to perform advanced analytics tasks,
including data visualization, data exploration, and data modeling.

All servers and services in a distributed SAS Viya Environment are stopped. An administrator needs to
start them in the correct order. Which server must be started first?
D
Explanation:
In a distributed SAS Viya environment, the SAS Configuration Server (Consul server) must be started
first. The Consul server is the foundation of the SAS Viya environment and provides service discovery
and configuration management for all other servers and services. It is responsible for maintaining the
configuration information and state of the SAS Viya environment, including the location and status of
all servers and services.

Which SAS Viya application is hosted by the embedded web application server?
D
Explanation:
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, SAS Studio Basic is the only SAS Viya
application that is hosted by the embedded web application server. You can find this information in
the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 13.
What is NOT TRUE about SAS Studio Enterprise?
A
Explanation:
SAS Studio Enterprise is not a microservice, it's a web-based application that provides a
programming interface, data visualization and an environment for managing analytics workflows, it's
part of the SAS Viya suite of products.
SAS Studio Enterprise uses the workspace server, launcher server and the compute server, these
servers are the core of the SAS Studio Enterprise's functionality, and they are responsible for
performing various tasks related to data access, computation, and execution of SAS programs. The
workspace server provides a web-based interface for working with data and SAS programs, while the
launcher server manages the execution of SAS programs, and the compute server provides the
computational resources for running SAS programs.
Which SAS Environment Manager function would you select to change the retention period for
storing backups'?
C
Explanation:
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, the Backup and Restore function in SAS
Environment Manager is used to configure the retention period for storing backups. You can find this
information in the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 21.
The Backup and Restore function in SAS Environment Manager would be used to change the
retention period for storing backups. This function provides options to configure the backup
schedule, retention period, and other settings related to the backup process. You can also use this
function to perform ad-hoc backups or restore from a previous backup.

The Content function is used to manage the content and metadata of the SAS Environment Manager.
The Configuration function is used to configure the settings of the SAS Environment Manager. The
Jobs and Flows function is used to manage and monitor the jobs and flows running in the SAS
Environment Manager.
When submitting code remotely from an existing SAS client session using RSUBMIT, which server
would process the code and return the results?
B
Explanation:
When submitting code remotely from an existing SAS client session using RSUBMIT, the SAS
Workspace Server processes the code and returns the results. The RSUBMIT statement is used to
submit SAS code to a remote SAS session, it connects the existing SAS client session to a remote SAS
Workspace server and the code is executed on that remote server.
The SAS Compute Server is a computational engine that processes the analytics and modeling
workloads. The SAS Launcher Server is responsible for managing the execution of SAS programs, it is
responsible for starting, stopping, and monitoring the jobs and flows. SAS/CONNECT Server is a
server that allows you to establish a connection between your SAS session and remote SAS servers,
it's not responsible for processing the code.
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, the SAS Workspace Server is the server that
provides the processing and results when using RSUBMIT. You can find this information in the SAS
Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 31
You want to apply the newest hot fixes available to your deployed SAS Viya environment. What
would you do to your environment?
B
Explanation:
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, you can use the current software order to
update your existing SAS Viya environment with the latest hotfixes. You can find this information in
the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 4.
To apply the newest hot fixes available to your deployed SAS Viya environment, you would update
your environment using a current software order. A hot fix is a software update that addresses a
specific problem or issue, and it is typically delivered in the form of a patch or service pack. Hot fixes
are typically applied to an existing software installation and do not require a new software order or
an upgrade of the entire software package.
Reference:
https://www.sas.com/en_us/support/documentation/viya-books/administering-sas-viya-3-5.html
Updating using a new software order or upgrading using a new software order is not required for
applying hot fixes, these actions are usually taken when adding new functionality or new version of
the software. Upgrading using a current software order is not an applicable option as the term
"upgrade" is usually related to a new version and hot fixes are small updates to the current version.
Which statement is TRUE about a SAS programming-only deployment?
D
Explanation:
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, a SAS programming-only deployment includes
SAS Studio, which connects to the SAS Workspace Server. You can find this information in the SAS
Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 18
When using SAS Backup and Restore which is NOT backed up?
A
Explanation:
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, data tables on the local file system are not
backed up when using SAS Backup and Restore. You can find this information in the SAS Viya 3.5
Administering Guide page 22.
Where would you set or change the shared vault location"?
D
Explanation:
According to the official SAS Viya 3.5 documentation, the shared vault location can be set or changed
in SAS Environment Manager Configuration under the Backup service configuration. You can find this
information in the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 22.
You would set or change the shared vault location in SAS Environment Manager in the Backup service
configuration. The Backup service configuration is where you can configure various settings related to
the backup process, such as the schedule, retention period, and the location of the shared vault.
Shared vault is used to store the encrypted backups, it's a location where the backups are stored.
Reference:
https://www.sas.com/en_us/support/documentation/viya-books/environment-manager-admin/environment-manager-admin-backup-and-recovery.html#zid-12718
The sas-admin backup configuration is not related to shared vault location, it's a command used to
configure the backup process. The sas-admin backup update is not an existent command, and the
backup-agent configuration is not related to the shared vault location.
