About This Book

Audience

This book is for information architects who are responsible for facilitating business reporting in an organization. The book assumes that you have a basic understanding of SAS business intelligence software.

Prerequisites

To create the information map in this book, you must install SAS Information Map Studio 4.2 and have the following software and resources:
  • a SAS 9.2 Metadata Server that has a SAS Application Server defined. The application server definition must contain a logical SAS Workspace Server.
  • SAS Management Console 9.2.
    Note: SAS Management Console is required only for defining the tables that you need; it is not required for creating an information map. If you do not have access to this software, contact your metadata administrator for help with the steps in Define a SAS Library and Define Tables.
  • Base SAS 9.2 sample data sets EMPINFO and SALARY.
