Details

This system option is one of a category of system options that define a connection to the metadata server.

When you are running interactively, you can be prompted for connection properties. Prompting occurs when either METASERVER= or METAPORT= are not specified. Prompting also occurs when METAUSER= or METAPASS= are not specified, and a trusted peer or IWA connection is rejected. For information about trusted peer and IWA, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
