The reports feature
in SAS Data Integration Studio can be used to generate reports. You
can generate reports to review the metadata for tables and jobs in
a convenient format. You can generate your own reports by creating
a Java report plug-in. For more information about generating your
own reports see
Creating Your Own Report.
Reports enable you to:
-
find information about a table or
job quickly
-
compare information between different
tables or jobs
-
obtain a single file that contains
summary information of all tables or jobs in HTML, RTF, or PDF format
-
perform custom behaviors that are
defined by user-created plug-in SAS code, Java code, or both
You can access reports
in SAS Data Integration Studio using document objects. You can save
the physical path to a report as a document object, and access that
document object in the Folders tree or the Inventory tree on the SAS
Data Integration Studio desktop. For more information about accessing
reports with document objects see
Saving a Report As a Document Object.
