Overview of SAS Integration Technologies

Support for Industry Standards

SAS Integration Technologies supports the following industry standard technologies, allowing you to leverage your existing infrastructure investments and skill sets to provide application interoperability:

client development by using any programming environment that supports bindings to the COM and DCOM or Java object model. The programming environments that are supported include the following:
- Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications, VBScript, Visual C++ .NET, Visual Basic .NET, and Visual C# .NET
- any Java integrated development environment (IDE), including Eclipse, Sun ONE Studio, IBM VisualAge, Borland JBuilder, and SAS webAF (which is part of SAS AppDev Studio)
- proprietary Windows programming environments such as Borland Delphi, Sybase PowerBuilder, and others
asynchronous message queuing through the use of IBM WebSphere MQ (formerly called MQSeries), Microsoft MSMQ, and TIBCO Rendezvous.
file management that uses Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV). The publish and subscribe features of SAS Integration Technologies can access any WebDAV server. Two specific types of WebDAV servers are supported for use by SAS business intelligence Web applications:
- Xythos Software's WebFile Server (WFS) can be used to store content for the SAS Web Infrastructure Kit and the SAS Information Delivery Portal. It can also be used to store reports that have been created with SAS Web Report Studio. The SAS User Management Customization enables a Xythos WebFile Server to interact with the SAS Metadata Server for authorization and authentication.
- Apache HTTP Server (with its WebDAV module enabled) can also be used to store reports that have been created with SAS Web Report Studio.
Web services development based on the XML for Analysis interface.
Web application development on Web servers that are compatible with the Java 2 platform.
