Data Link Properties Dialog Box (Advanced Tab)

This version of the Advanced tab is designed specifically for you to enter connection information when you are performing one of these actions:
  • using the SAS IOM provider for OLE DB to access a SAS Workspace Server
  • using the SAS OLAP provider for OLE DB to access a SAS OLAP Server
Tip
As a best practice, use this tab only when you must specify a SAS Metadata Server that has not been configured by using the SAS Integration Technologies configuration utility (ITConfig). If the metadata server that you need to use has been configured by using ITConfig, then enter connection information on the Connection tab.
The customized Advanced tab has these items:
Enter Metadata Server information
Use default
You can use this option only if you are connecting to a SAS Workspace or SAS OLAP server that is defined in a SAS Metadata Server that has been configured by using ITConfig. If this configuration exists, then you should use the Connection tab to enter the connection information. To display that tab, click Connection.
Metadata Server Location
Use the Data Source URI format to identify the SAS Metadata Server. For example, you might enter this code:
iom-bridge://metadata.example.com:8561
User name
Type your user ID for logging on to the SAS Metadata Server.
Password
Type the password for the user ID that you entered.
Select or enter SAS Server information
Data Source
Use the Data Source URI format to specify the location of the SAS Workspace or SAS OLAP server that you want to access. The URI should reference the logical name of the workspace or OLAP server that is defined in the SAS Metadata Server that you are using. For example, you might enter this URI.:
iom-name://Logical Workspace Server
For more information about the Data Source URI, see Using the Data Source Property to Specify All Connection-Related Properties.
Test Connection
Click this button in order to test the connection.
