SAS BI Web Services
in SAS 9.3 contains the following key changes:
-
Beginning with SAS 9.3,
SAS BI Web Services is supported only in a Java application server
deployment. Previously, in SAS 9.2, there were two implementations
of SAS BI Web Services: one written in Java that requires a servlet
container, and another written in C# that uses the .NET framework.
-
Artifacts are not required
to be generated in SAS 9.3; only the metadata that is associated with
the generated Web service is published.
-
All stored processes
are presented as Web services without the need for any additional
processing. If the metadata about a Web service is not required to
be published to the SAS metadata server, the additional step to generate
the metadata is no longer required. Beginning with SAS 9.3, for more
information about stored processes, see
SAS 9.3 Stored
Processes: Developer’s Guide.
-
In SAS 9.2, advanced
configuration properties for the Web Service Maker were specified
on the
Advanced tab for
WebServiceMaker
Properties in SAS Management Console. In SAS 9.3, the
values for these properties can be modified on the
Settings tab
for
WebServiceMaker Properties.
-
Four new configuration
properties are available in SAS 9.3.
