Administering SAS Shared Services

About SAS Shared Services

SAS Shared Services provides standard features that are used by the SAS BI Dashboard and which can also be used by the SAS Information Delivery Portal, SAS Web Report Studio, and certain SAS solutions. The features include the following:

alert registration and notification

enables users to register to receive time-sensitive, action-oriented messages when a specified combination of events and conditions occurs. Alerts empower users by allowing them to control the type of notifications that they receive, and when they are delivered. Alerts can be sent to the user's e-mail address or displayed in the SAS Information Delivery Portal.

comment management

enables users to create comments related to business intelligence objects. Users can then reply to, search for, retire, delete, or add attachments to existing comments. In addition, users can find comments that were created by a particular user, with a specified date range or with specific text. This feature enables the capture of human intelligence and supports collaborative decision making related to business data.

During an Enterprise BI Server installation, a database and a data source name definition are created automatically on the SAS Table Server for the exclusive use of SAS Shared Services. For more information, see Using the SAS Table Server with the SAS Middle Tier.
