Administering the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform

SAS Management Console

The SAS Management Console is the primary tool available to administer the SAS Intelligence Platform. It is a framework in which a variety of plug-ins are installed to expand the capability of the SAS Management Console. A plug-in is an application module that is designed to create and maintain metadata for a specific type of resource.

Only certain users can view and use plug-ins. A user's access to plug-ins depends on which roles the user is assigned to and which capabilities are assigned to those roles.

For information about SAS Management Console and plug-ins, see "Understanding the State of Your System" in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide. Also, see the online Help available with the SAS Management Console.

Modify Folders

If you have installed SAS Web applications such as SAS Web Report Studio, then some SAS folders (for examples, folders that contain metadata for reports) have associated physical content that resides on the SAS Content Server. In these instances, a procedure called content mapping maps the metadata folder structure to corresponding physical folders that have the same organization. Content mapping is automatically configured when you install your system.

Do not move, rename, or delete folders within SAS Folders that are mapped to a physical folder structure on the SAS Content Server. If you modify a folder that has content mapping specified, then the physical content to which the folder is mapped might become inaccessible.

For information about the SAS Folders in the SAS Management Console, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
