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, SOAP, XML, JSON,
and RESTful technologies.
-
Web application development on
Web servers that are compatible with the Java 2 platform.
