Syntax

METAPORT=number

Syntax Description

number
is the TCP port that the metadata server is listening to for connections. The default port number that is configured for the metadata server at installation is 8561. Installers are not required to use this value, so you must specify METAPORT= to connect to the metadata server. An example is metaport=8561. Do not quote this value.

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 values. 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.
Operating Environment Information: 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.
