CSV and Excel file data sources are working as expected, but SAS file data sources will not load. SAS files require a driver when loading SAS files into an analysis in Spotfire Web Player. You will receive the following error message in the Web Player Worker.Host.Debug log if you do not have the SAS driver installed:

Spotfire.Dxp.Data.Exceptions.ImportException: The required SAS OLE DB driver is not installed.
