The metadata definitions on SAS Metadata
Servers are used not only by SAS Enterprise Guide but also by other
SAS applications. Using SAS Metadata Servers enables SAS Enterprise
Guide users to access and share libraries and servers with other applications.
A SAS Metadata Server
is installed by the SAS Deployment Wizard during the installation
and configuration of SAS software. Use SAS Management Console to create
repositories on the metadata server that will contain the SAS Enterprise
Guide object definitions. For information about defining SAS Metadata
Servers and repositories, see the
SAS Intelligence Platform:
System Administration Guide.
Note: The character encoding of
the metadata server and the data sets that you use in SAS Enterprise
Guide must be the same. If they do not match, reports that are produced
from the data might contain errors.
