The CloudConfigurationManager class parses configuration settings. It parses settings for client applications that run on the desktop, on a mobile device, in an Azure virtual machine, or in an Azure cloud service. To reference the CloudConfigurationManager package, add the following using directives:. Using the Azure Configuration Manager is optional.
You can also use an API such as the. In the Program. The following method creates a file share if it doesn't already exist. The method starts by creating a ShareClient object from a connection string. The sample then attempts to download a file we created earlier. Call this method from Main. Next, add the following content to the Main method, after the code shown above, to retrieve the connection string. This code gets a reference to the file we created earlier and outputs its contents.
Beginning with version 5. You can also check to see how much data is currently stored on the share. Setting the quota for a share limits the total size of the files stored on the share. If the total size of files on the share exceeds the quota, clients can't increase the size of existing files. Clients also can't create new files, unless those files are empty. The example below shows how to check the current usage for a share and how to set the quota for the share.
You can also create a stored access policy on a file share to manage shared access signatures. We recommend creating a stored access policy because it lets you revoke the SAS if it becomes compromised. The following example creates a stored access policy on a share. The example uses that policy to provide the constraints for a SAS on a file in the share. For more information about creating and using shared access signatures, see How a shared access signature works.
You can also use AzCopy to copy one file to another or to copy a blob to a file or the other way around. See Get started with AzCopy. If you are copying a blob to a file, or a file to a blob, you must use a shared access signature SAS to authorize access to the source object, even if you are copying within the same storage account.
The following example copies a file to another file in the same share. You can use Shared Key authentication to do the copy because this operation copies files within the same storage account. The following example creates a file and copies it to a blob within the same storage account. The example creates a SAS for the source file, which the service uses to authorize access to the source file during the copy operation.
You can copy a blob to a file in the same way. If the source object is a blob, then create a SAS to authorize access to that blob during the copy operation. Beginning with version 8. You can also list or browse share snapshots and delete share snapshots. Once created, share snapshots are read-only. Taking a snapshot of a file share enables you to recover individual files or the entire file share.
You can restore a file from a file share snapshot by querying the share snapshots of a file share. You can then retrieve a file that belongs to a particular share snapshot. Use that version to directly read or to restore the file.
Azure Storage Analytics supports metrics for Azure Files. With metrics data, you can trace requests and diagnose issues. You can enable metrics for Azure Files from the Azure portal. The following code example shows how to use the. NET client library to enable metrics for Azure Files.
First, add the following using directives to your Program. One is the File Name and the other one is the A zure container name. DownloadToStream file ; Console. WriteLine "Download completed! DownloadToStream file statement is used to download the file from the blob storage. You can add more logic to make the application more secure and accurate. Happy Coding. View All.

There is a better-than-even chance that the built-in data providers that you have for Microsoft Excel -- the bits that allow SAS to write to Excel on Windows -- are bit modules. There are two remedies for this bitness mismatch.
First, you could install the bit data providers which accompany the bit version of Microsoft Office. But you cannot have both the bit and bit versions of these data providers on the same machine ; if you have bit Microsoft Office, then you're stuck with the bit providers for now. Thanks to the out-of-process communication, this circumvents the bit architecture mismatch. With the architecture lesson behind us, here's my list for how to put SAS content into Microsoft Excel. I won't dive into much detail about each method here; you can follow the links to find more documentation.
Requires exclusive lock on an existing Excel file. There are various options to control the output behavior. Has limits on volume and format. No driver or PC Files Server needed. This method is available in SAS 9.
Provides a fair amount of control over the content appearance, but recent versions of Excel do not recognize as a "native" format, so user is presented with a message to that effect when opening in Excel. It's an antiquated approach, but offers tremendous control that many long-time SAS users enjoy -- when it works.
See why your DDE programs don't work anymore. By allowing you to access SAS data and analytics from within Microsoft Excel, you pull the results into your Excel session, rather than export them from your SAS session. There are loads of other ways to handle the issue.
A pull strategy vs a push. Not perfect, but an alternative. I have used. The advantage to that is pure power and speed. Far more control over how the worksheets come out and the speed is incredible. Finally, to address the issue with SAS on Unix and being able to generate Excel worksheets in a data step, I have an entry on sascommunity. That allows a data step to write a simplistic XML structure and then execute a.
NET app to convert that into binary Excel workbooks. There are others but it is a fascinating world. I tend to use everything depending upon the particular client and need Before I forget, the advantage on the. Things outside of just dumping the data. It is not always needed so that approach is not always the best, however I use it all of the time. It has a lot of nice features.
Writing is a separate subject. ExcelXP in my stored processes, to generate the results in Excel and was always annoyed with the message that comes to warn the users before opening the file in excel. I did some research and found that if I used one of the follwoing two methods, you don't get the message any more 1. Make some registry changes so excel doesn't display the warning message anymore. SAS Usage Note , provides the details, but some places do not allow for registry changes on clients machines so this may not work for them.
I feel this is a better option, if you are using ODSTagsets. This file opens in excel and here is the fun part, you don't get the warning message in excel when trying to open the file. Shri, thanks for the tips! There are numerous SAS Global Forum papers on this topic as well -- check the conference proceedings!
I'm using a proc export on my web page and it works for some but it mostly generates a 7kb xlsx file with a tab name of "AFF2AE84bDA" and no data. I've seen this be an issue with Microsoft project but not sas except for me. Has anyone seen this issue? Is there a work around? I have a web app that allows users to select options and generate an xlsx file. All the data is collected and prepared in sas and then exported. If it is an xls file it works fine but when I change the options to xlsx it doesn't.
If running on SAS 9. Thank you for your help. This issue has driven me crazy and I can't find any reason why this is happening. Jerry, for this to work you need to have the PC Files Server installed. See SAS note for details. Very nice post, also not mentioned yet are the msoffice2k and tagsets. If I am in Enterprise Guide table browse mode and need data quickly, I often simply copy and paste the data directly into Excel. Unfortunately the column labels do not come along with the paste.
Right-click on the data node in the process flow, select Properties. On the Columns tab, select "Copy to Clipboard". You can then paste that into Excel. It is row-oriented though, and not column-oriented. This is a bit klunky, but it may save you some typing. The single best alternative to create a highly formatted report from a SAS production batch application, with the widest capability even if it sometimes means using an empty, but partially formatted, template workbook to be loaded and formatted further dynamically from SAS code, or the desperate measure of programmatically sending keystrokes to Excel from SAS code , is Dynamic Data Exchange aka DDE.
This old technology whose death has been prematurely forecasted repeatedly offers more single-solution power than any of the partial solutions provided by SAS developers to date. One covers a complex multi-function SAS macro, another has a toolkit of single-function SAS macros and sample programs, and the initial conspicuous contributor in this domain Vyverman covered parts of the general problem in a few early papers.
I experiment with ALL of the ODS tagsets for Excel, and inevitably find that whatever is my current choice meets some needs, but not all needs. Thanks for starting the dialogue on this important topic. The commonest ultimate destination of data prepared with SAS software is an Excel workbook.
Almost all computer users have Excel, and it allows them to work with the data further with a tool that they already know how to use. Not more work to do in order reshape the data delivery. Bessler, thank you for the thoughtful response. I agree that DDE is an incredibly flexible and fast approach to the problem. These days, the main obstacle for DDE is not one of technology, but of topology.
If you're a SAS professional who provides Excel-based reports as one-off requests, you can manage that all from your desktop SAS environment.
As you know, DDE relies on Windows messages between two Windows application processes on the same machine. If your SAS server is on one box and Excel is on another, you must settle for one of the other approaches to create your Excel content. DDE is simply not on the menu. I understand that you are in, or work with, the BI client tool development team, not the ODS development team. Until late , I actually did support a production batch application that ran on a BI server, and did use DDE with great success, but I was not really thrilled with the situation.
But, because of the incomplete solutions so far available with the at least three different ODS tagsets, I am in the situation of not being able to deliver as much as I would like. I once heard the comment that when a programmer or a provider of anything says to a client or a customer "You're too picky. I know the capabilities and limitations of those client apps pretty well. I spend more time programming with SAS than I ever have, and my projects often have less-than-neat requirements.
That means that I don't always get to just pick a technology and deliver what works best within that technology. Instead, I have to get creative in order to deliver exactly what meets the requirement. I'm guessing that sounds familiar :. I can appreciate that there doesn't seem to be a single foundation approach from SAS to solve all of the Excel reporting output scenarios -- hence the 10 methods listed in the post. I know that the ODS group is working towards a more comprehensive approach.
I will make sure that they see the comments that you've shared. The signature grants full access read, write, delete, list to blobs within the container. For more information on shared access signatures, see Grant limited access to Azure Storage resources using shared access signatures SAS.
The service endpoints for the Storage Emulator are different from the endpoints for an Azure storage account. The local computer doesn't do domain name resolution, requiring the Storage Emulator endpoints to be local addresses. When you address a resource in an Azure storage account, you use the following scheme.
Because the local computer doesn't do domain name resolution, the account name is part of the URI path instead of the host name.
Beginning with version 3. You can access the secondary location by appending -secondary to the account name. For example, the following address might be used for accessing a blob using the read-only secondary in the Storage Emulator:. For programmatic access to the secondary with the Storage Emulator, use the Storage Client Library for. NET version 3. NET for details. Starting in version 3. Use the command line in the console window to start and stop the emulator. You can also query for status and do other operations from the command line.
If you have the Microsoft Azure Compute Emulator installed, a system tray icon appears when you launch the Storage Emulator. Right-click on the icon to reveal a menu that provides a graphical way to start and stop the Storage Emulator. Because the Storage Emulator is a local emulated environment, there are differences between using the emulator and an Azure storage account in the cloud:. Skip to main content.
