Overview of Procedures for Metadata
As with the other metadata language elements, you can use the metadata procedures in a batch SAS program or in the SAS windowing environment. You can also perform these tasks with a product like SAS Management Console. For more information, see the administration books in Recommended Reading.
The procedures enable you to create and maintain the metadata in a SAS Metadata Repository.
-
The METADATA procedure sends a method call, in the form of an XML string, to the SAS Metadata Server.
-
The METALIB procedure updates metadata to match the tables in a library.
-
The METAOPERATE procedure performs administrative tasks on the metadata server.
To submit the procedures, you must establish a connection with the metadata server. You can specify connection information in the procedure, in system options, or in a dialog box. For more information, see Connection Options.
