A profile defines the connection
between
SAS Enterprise Guide and a SAS Metadata Server. The SAS Metadata Server contains
metadata definitions for objects such as workspace servers, libraries, and
users that are used by SAS Enterprise Guide and other applications. After
you use a profile to connect to a source of metadata definitions, you can
use SAS Enterprise Guide Explorer to define libraries. However, the primary
application for creating metadata definitions is SAS Management Console, which
you can also use to define libraries, as well as servers, users, groups, and
authorization settings.
If you use SAS Enterprise Guide without a profile, you can access only
a SAS server that is installed on your local machine. You cannot define libraries
or share SAS resources with other SAS applications.
