SAS Metadata Server
The SAS Metadata Server is
the most important component of the SAS Intelligence Platform. Without a SAS
Metadata Server, other client applications and SAS server will not function.
Hence SAS Metadata Server is a crucial part.
The SAS Metadata Server supports
three types of metadata repositories:
In simple words SAS Metadata
Server is centralized repository used to store metadata. It stores the
metadata of all the Metadata Repositories and serves it across the entire SAS
Intelligence Platform
SAS Metadata Server
|
Foundation repository: Its as must and
each metadata server has one foundation repository
|
Project repository: a metadata
repository for isolated working
|
Custom repository: optional metadata
store for a SAS metadata Server
|
A SAS
Metadata Server was introduced to maintain all the information about the
underlying data files used by the SAS applications in a centralized location.
The SAS Metadata Server gives a single integrated metadata and provides
consistent information so that all users can get a consistent data. Using SAS
Metadata Server clients can read metadata from and write metadata to one or more
SAS Metadata Repositories
So is a good way to look at this component as equivalent to the data dictionary that stores this sort of information within an RDBMS such as Oracle, DB2, etc.?
