DataSourceName
Subclass of RelationalSchema
Overview
Represents a data source name (DSN) that is a construct used by the SAS table server to identify a data source definition. A data source definition specifies how to locate and access a data source, including any authentication (such as a user name and password) that a user must supply in order to access the data and any properties used to connect to a particular data source or data sources. By using a DSN, a user can avoid specifying connection parameters to connect to a data source. An administrator can also configure a data source, determine the level of security, and share the DSN with others.
Security Inheritance and Enforcement Rules
The following list of associations is used to determine if this object should inherit access controls from another object (inheritance), or if the association is allowed for the object (enforcement). An association will not be created unless the calling user is authorized to update one or both objects involved in the association. For more information about inheritance and enforcement rules, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.

Associations
= indicates the resident side of an association, or where the association is persisted for cross-repository associations. If no resident side is indicated, this association may not cross repository boundaries.
