Benefits

  • Develop intelligence applications cost-effectively, without risk. Using SAS AppDev Studio, developers don’t risk hindering production because they don’t need to involve production systems in the development cycle. Nor do they require expensive hardware to mimic production. Instead, they can build and test applications on their desktop PCs or laptops.
  • Develop intelligence applications faster. SAS AppDev Studio includes a rich set of ready-to-use Java components and APIs that can be leveraged from SAS AppDev Studio Eclipse Plug-ins (which are included with the software) or from a third-party Java IDE. These powerful conveniences help reduce development time.

Features

Standalone application development environment
  • You get everything you need to develop, on one box, applications that use the power of SAS.
  • You can develop applications on a local machine, whether you are connected to the network or not.
Flexibility to develop multiple types of applications
  • Java Enterprise Edition (Java EE) Web applications.
  •  CGI/HTML applications.
  • Active Server Pages (ASP), ASP.NET applications, and ActiveX controls that access a SAS server.
  •  Full-client applications using Java, the SAS DATA step, SAS Component Language, Visual Basic, C++, C# and more.
  • Wireless applications.Web services using .NET or Java EE framework.
Java components to use SAS and facilitate development
  • InformationBeansTM encapsulate access to the informational and analytic power of SAS servers.
  • TransformationBeans consume data from existing data models and transform it into different representations (HTML, DHTML, WML).
  • Foundation services classes serve ready-to-use functionality such as publishing information or running analytic processes.
  • SAS JSP custom tag library allows coding using HTML-like tags; no Java code is needed.
Java Integrated Development Environment (IDE)
  • Development environment is based on the industry-leading open source Eclipse platform.
  •  Intelligent editing capabilities provide real-time syntax-error highlighting and automatic name, method and key word completion.
  • Graphical user interfaces and powerful wizards hide complex Java programming.
  • Source code control system facilitates team-based development.
  • Enhanced build support uses Jakarta Ant to develop, package and deploy applications.
Powerful set of quick-start templates
  • Wizard-driven templates facilitate creating portlets. Portlets can be automatically packaged and deployed into the SAS Information Delivery Portal.
  • Wizard-driven templates facilitate creating SAS Management Console plug-ins. Plug-ins can be automatically packaged into JAR files.
  • Set of templates for building SAS Web applications are included.
