Overview of SAS Integration Technologies

Support for SAS Open Metadata Architecture

SAS Integration Technologies supports the SAS Open Metadata Architecture, which is a metadata management facility that provides common metadata services to SAS applications. This architecture is required in order to do the following tasks:

use the SAS Metadata Server to store configuration information for SAS Integration Technologies and other SAS products
use SAS Management Console as a central interface to administer configuration and security information for SAS Integration Technologies and other SAS products
use new security features for user registration, authentication, and authorization (access control)
configure new types of IOM servers (SAS Metadata Servers, SAS Stored Process Servers, and SAS OLAP Servers) in addition to SAS Workspace Servers
use load balancing for workspace servers and spawners, as well as stored process servers and spawners
operate stored processes on a stored process server to produce streaming output for use in Web applications
use the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform to create Web applications that use portal technology
use SAS Foundation Services to implement Java applications that are integrated with the SAS Intelligence Platform
install and operate other SAS products that depend on the SAS Intelligence Platform

For more information about the SAS Open Metadata Architecture, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
