connecting jupyter lab to a SAS Viya Analytics Pro Docker Container

[vstorme]

I installed saspy correctly but I can't get my SAS cfg file correct. This is my cfg file:

sascfg_personal.txt

and this is the error I get:

---

SASIONotSupportedError Traceback (most recent call last)

Connecting to SAS that's in the Apro container requires using the SSH (STDIO over SSH) access method, since Python is not in that container; it's a remote connection. Also, even though it's called the Viya Apro, it doesn't support the HTTP access method like a Compute Server, running in an actual Viya deployment, would. So it a bit tedious to set up with that container. But, I did find instructions for this in the Apro doc here: https://go.documentation.sas.com/doc/en/anprocdc/v_043/dplyviya0ctr/p02tns1ea7ek9on1ibx8rneca1t0.htm
