System Management Changes and Enhancements to SAS IT Resource Management

The following enhancements are introduced with SAS IT Resource Management 3.3 to improve the solution’s management and maintenance.
User credential information is no longer embedded in the underlying code that is associated with deployed SAS IT Resource Management jobs. As such, special considerations are no longer necessary to accommodate user ID changes or password updates.
For all jobs created by the Adapter Setup wizard, the default name of each job contains the name that matches the subfolder where the job is located in addition to the domain category that you specify with the Adapter Setup wizard. This change enables jobs and deployed jobs to be easily associated with the IT data mart for that adapter.
MXG views are registered in SAS IT Resource Management metadata to help create jobs that include those views as input. These views are registered:
  • staged tables that are supported by MXG
  • simple aggregation tables that are based on input staged tables that are supported by MXG
SAS IT Resource Management 3.3 introduces macros to support staging and aggregation transformation level backup and restore options. These macros aid the recovery of SAS IT Resource Management staging and aggregation metadata and physical data when a staging or aggregation job fails.
Report packages stored in the SAS Content Server were renamed to improve recognition and usability.
Duplicate-data checking options were added to the staging transformation and to the Adapter Setup wizard.
