ThotWave SAS® Solutions

 Because SAS is a key component of many ThotWave solutions, we have developed Solution Accelerators that complement and enhance SAS systems. ThotWave looks for opportunities to make SAS "sing and dance" in your unique environment. To find more information on these products, please view the following links:

• thinking data® SAS® Service Center Framework - As SAS capabilities and features become richer, the involvement of corporate IT support in taking care of the platform increases - but creating value with SAS software remains the responsibility of end users scattered through the organization. The thinking data® SAS Service Center Framework takes ThotWave's years of experience in productionizing SAS environments and delivers it to your organization - addressing eight key functional areas in order to provide you with continuity, confidence and clarity around your SAS investment.
• FUTS - Framework for Unit Testing SAS® programs. Inspired by testing frameworks such as JUnit and NUnit, FUTS allows SAS programmers to write repeatable test code to test their own work. The core of FUTS is a SAS macro library of assert functions. The assertions allow developers to create tests that compare macro symbols, data sets, and files produced by their SAS code. FUTS also comes with a perl script for batch execution of test suites, automating the process of running tests and reporting results. FUTS is available under an open source license.
• thinking data® Event System - to monitor SAS jobs in real time and add a robust framework for automated testing and real-time notification. The event subsystem allows users to subscribe to events. The event management sub-system coupled with the data viewer (metadata console) makes real-time viewing of all activity on the dashboard and SAS programs (batch or real time) available, even before the SAS job is finished running.
• thinking data^®Enterprise ARM Implementation - Centralized SAS® system monitoring for the whole enterprise environment has become a necessity in order to prove ROI, increase reliability and guard against inefficiencies and misuse. The best mechanism to provide both high level and detailed information on this environment is to combine the Application Response Measurement (ARM) tool with ThotWave's proven methods and experience.
• thinking data® Metadata Explorer - for managing SAS or non-SAS data in a spreadsheet-like web interface. Key benefits include the ability to browse or edit data without locking anyone out of the data sets. This robust application provides the ability for authorized users to browse and even edit data using a standard web browser. Based on a tree-view analogy, nodes on the tree represent data that is available to the user. The user can view data in tabular form or in a form-based view – all using lightweight, thin client access. If authorized, data can be edited and new rows added or deleted. Data access objects allow complete audit trails to be written for security and rollback procedures.
• thinking data® toolkit for Business Intelligence - a suite of tools designed to seamlessly fit with your existing technology assets. Our BI Toolkit includes portal integration, common security management interfaces, and leveraging existing data stores, while it allows for the tight integration of Java and SAS for web-based exploitation of information.
• Codedoc - SAS® source code documentation generator. Enables large scale SAS deployments to keep their detailed program documentation up to date by maintaining information in structured comments in the place where change occurs – the source code.
