SAS/Warehouse Administrator Software

Closer Integration with Enterprise Reporter

It is now easier to use Enterprise Reporter to generate reports on groups and data stores that you have selected in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Explorer. The following menu options are available from the Explorer:

Documenting the Data Warehouse -- exports metadata for the current Data Warehouse, as well as the metadata for all ODD Groups in the current Warehouse Environment. The exported metadata is in a form that is optimized for reporting in Enterprise Reporter.
To use this feature, open a Warehouse Environment in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Explorer and select a group or data store in the Environment. Go to the SAS menu bar and select Tools, then Documenting the Data Warehouse. The Documenting the Data Warehouse window appears. For details about that window, click its [Help] button.
If Enterprise Reporter software is installed locally, you are given the option of creating an InfoFolder for the exported metadata.
Open in Enterprise Reporter -- reads the metadata for the selected data store into Enterprise Reporter. Use this option to create ad hoc reports about data stores. You will not see this option unless Enterprise Reporter software is installed locally. To use this feature, right-click a data store and select Data Utilities, then Open in Enterprise Reporter. The main Enterprise Reporter window appears.
