The Publishing Framework
plug-in for SAS Management Console enables you to define SAS publication
channels, which are conduits for publishing particular categories
of information. You can set up a channel for a particular topic, organizational
group, user audience, or any other category. After you have defined
publication channels, authorized users can subscribe to them and automatically
retrieve information whenever it is published to those channels.
Users of SAS Information
Delivery Portal can manage their subscriptions from within the portal.
The portal enables users to select channels to subscribe to, specify
the desired delivery transport (such as an e-mail address or message
queue), and specify filters that indicate which information is to
be included or excluded.
In order to publish
to a channel, users must have Write permission to the channel. If
the channel has an archive persistent store, a WriteMetadata permission
is required for the repository as well as the channel. To add or delete
channels or subscribers, the WriteMemberMetadata permission is required
on the relevant parent folder.
For instructions about
assigning permissions to channels, see “Authorization Model”
in the
SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide. For information about the Publishing Framework and
channels, see the online Help in the SAS Management Console. Also,
see the
Publishing Framework: Developer's Guide.
