Syntax

METAAUTORESOURCES server-object

is the name or URI of a LogicalServer, ServerComponent, or ServerContext metadata object in a repository on the SAS Metadata Server. The maximum length is 32,000 characters. If you specify either single or double quotation marks, they are not saved as part of the value.

METAAUTORESOURCES accepts the following name and URI formats:

name

specifies the metadata name of the object. An example is the following:

 -metaautoresources 'SASApp'

This format is supported for a ServerContext object only. For LogicalServer and ServerComponent objects, use one of the following URI formats:

OMSOBJ:identifier.identifier

specifies the metadata identifier of the object. An example is the following:

-metaautoresources "omsobj:A5HMMB7P.AV000005"

OMSOBJ:type/ID

specifies the metadata type name and metadata identifier of the object. An example is the following:

-metaautoresources "omsobj:ServerComponent/A5HMMB7P.AV000005"

OMSOBJ:type?@attribute='value'

specifies the metadata type name, followed by a search string, which is in the form of an attribute='value' pair. An example is the following:

-metaautoresources "OMSOBJ:ServerComponent?@Name='My Server'"

Note: In a configuration file or at SAS invocation, the syntax for SAS system options is specific to your operating environment. For more information, see the SAS documentation for your operating environment. [cautionend]

Details

METAAUTORESOURCES identifies metadata resources that are assigned when you invoke SAS. In this release, the option is used to assign libraries. In future releases, additional resources might be supported. In SAS Management Console, when you define a library, you can assign a server. METAAUTORESOURCES specifies the server object and assigns the associated libraries at start-up.

If the metadata server is not available, this option is ignored. If libraries are assigned in an autoexec file, those assignments take precedence over assignment with METAAUTORESOURCES.
