METASERVER= "address"

Syntax Description

"address"
is the host name or network IP address of the computer that hosts the metadata server. An example is metaserver="a123.us.company.com". The value localhost can be used when connecting to a metadata server on the same computer. The maximum length is 256 characters. The quotation marks are optional.

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.
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.
