By supporting several
data sources, SAS Federation Server provides the flexibility to configure data storage
based on specific needs. You choose
the
type of data storage that is most appropriate for the particular needs of an application,
based on functionality that is provided by each data source. The first step in working
with federated data is to configure access to your data sources.
Before creating federated
(FedSQL) data views and caching data, make sure that your trusted
user account is available and shared logins are configured and ready
for use. For additional information, see
SAS Metadata Server.
