Overview of the IServer Server Interface

The methods described in this section are provided in the IServer server interface, and can be used in a SAS Open Metadata Interface client that you create to perform server administrative tasks.
Except for Status, IServer methods are available only in the standard interface. For more information, see Communicating with the SAS Metadata Server.
The following information applies to all of the IServer methods.
  • The variable RC captures the return code of the method.
  • A user must have administrative user status on the SAS Metadata Server to issue all methods except Status. For more information about administrative user status, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
  • In the examples, serverObject is an instantiation of the IServer interface.
