Last month, I ventured into the heart of Berlin to attend TRANSFORM—an event dedicated to unravelling the mysteries of digital transformation, with a special focus on the remarkable world of artificial intelligence (AI). Let me take you through the journey, where innovation met inspiration at every turn.   TRANSFORM wasn't just any gathering; it was a buzzing hub of executives, decision-makers, and digital experts from various industries, all coming together to explore the ever-evolving landscape of technology-driven business revolution. Amidst the discussions and showcases, one theme stood out: the transformative power of AI.   At TRANSFORM, we heard how AI isn't just a far-off idea anymore; it's already changing how businesses operate worldwide. Companies are using AI to do things like analyze data faster than ever before, create chatbots that help customers, and even predict trends in different industries like healthcare and finance.   But here's the thing: while everyone talks about how important it is to change with the times, not many are actually doing it. Many people are still cautious and waiting to see what happens next. But the truth is, the time to transform is now! Even though our company, SAS, wasn't on the big stage at TRANSFORM, we're still a big player in the AI world. We're recognized as leaders by Forrester Magazine, and we're helping hundreds of businesses use AI to make better decisions and serve their customers better.   When I came back from the event, I found an article by Forrester that emphasized our role in shaping the future of AI. It was reassuring to see that our efforts were recognized, even we did get a spotlight on the event.      My wrap up AI is changing the world, and we're part of that change. We might not be the ones standing on stage at big events, but that doesn't mean we're not making a difference. Whether we're recognized or not, our work is vital in shaping the future of technology and business.   As we move forward, let's remember that the journey into the future of AI is exciting and full of possibilities. We're in the game and we're here to stay. ... View more

Hi,   I have a job flow set up. One of the jobs has a warning (but not an error and does not fail). In this scenario the next job in the flow after the one with the warning does not start and I think this is because of the previous job having a return code.  One used to be able to control this in LSF but how does one do this in Viya Flows so that the next job would start and accept a job with warnings as a complete job? I have tried abort 0 in my code which works but this changes the job status to 'Cancelled' which is not ideal.   Thanks Andre ... View more
