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

SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
