The MdOMRConnection
interface contains methods for connecting to and disconnecting from
the SAS Metadata Server. The MdOMRConnection interface can be retrieved
as follows:
MdOMRConnection connection = factory.getConnection();
connection.makeOMRConnection(serverName, serverPort, serverUser,
serverPassword);
A client that reads
and writes metadata uses the makeOMRConnection method to connect to
the SAS Metadata Server. The client disconnects from the server by
using the closeOMRConnection method.
The MdOMRConnection
interface also provides methods for connecting to the server with
the SAS Open Metadata Interface IServer, ISecurity, and ISecurityAdmin
server interfaces, and for getting information about the SAS Metadata
Server connection. The following table summarizes the methods in the
MdOMRConnection interface.
