A context is
a container for the programs that SAS Micro Analytic Service executes.
It is also an isolated execution environment. That is, programs executing
in one context are not visible to any other context. Therefore, contexts
can be used to provide a separate environment for each user or different
business unit, or for any other usage requiring isolation. The programs
hosted by SAS Micro Analytic Service are known as modules.
A context is a container of modules.
Because business context
and user context are interchangeable terms that describe the two common
uses of this single component, this document uses the term user context
for simplicity.
