SAS Namespace Types

Connection

Subtypes

Overview

Represents the information required to connect to a server. It is associated with the deployed component, i.e. server, that can be accessed using the connection information. It may also be associated with the deployed components that can use the connection information to access the server.

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.

Attributes

Name	Description	Type	Length
ApplicationProtocol	This attribute represents the application level protocol being used on this connection. It can have values like CONNECT, SHARE, Bridge, etc. It allows the list of connections to be queried by the type of usage expected, regardless of communication protocol.	String	32
AuthenticationType	This attribute indicates the type of authentication needed to connect to this server. It has an enumerated set of values: none, user/password, password certificate.	String	20
CommunicationProtocol	This attribute indicates the communication protocol: TCP, APPC and any others that may be supported.	String	8

Inherited Attributes
Name, Id, Desc, MetadataCreated, MetadataUpdated, ChangeState, IsHidden, LockedBy, PublicType, SecTransctxt, UsageVersion

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.

PassthruPassword Partner: ProtectedPassthrus	0 to 1	The SAS password to use with the Remote SQL Passthru option PT2DBPW=.	SASPassword
Providers Partner: ProviderConnections	0 to *	The deployed components that can use the connection information to access another component. For example, this is the list of DBMS clients, like a JDBC application, that can use the connection information to access a DBMS.
