You should
use the Application Dispatcher if you
-
want to analyze and display information
dynamically on the Web and let your Web users immediately retrieve
the information that they need.
-
have SAS programming experience
but have little or no CGI programming experience. Application Dispatcher
enables you to create the Web user interface and retrieve the SAS
data for display on the Web without writing a CGI script.
-
want to create applications that
provide Web output without investing a lot of programming time.
-
want to create applications that
run on a variety of Web browsers.
The Application
Dispatcher has several types of users:
-
End users enter information in
a form, select a link, or view an inline image that displays in a
Web browser.
-
Web-page authors create the HTML
forms or pages, which include unique Application Dispatcher fields.
These individuals could be SAS application developers.
-
Application Dispatcher program
developers create the Application Dispatcher programs that receive
information entered on the Web page.
-
System administrators, also known
as Webmasters, maintain programs on the Web server or maintain the
Application Server(s).
