Both the SAS Open Metadata Interface
and SAS Java Metadata Interface are shipped as part of SAS 9.3 software.
The SAS Open Metadata Interface uses the Integrated Object Model (IOM)
to communicate with the SAS Metadata Server. Currently, this interface
supports Java and SAS clients.
The following software
must be accessible from computers where you will develop SAS Open
Metadata Interface clients:
-
SAS 9.3 Versioned Jar Repository
(VJR)
-
SAS Integration Technologies software
appropriate for the client
-
software for the intended programming
environment
Both the SAS Open Metadata
Interface server interfaces and SAS Java Metadata Interface are contained
in the SAS 9.3 VJR. The VJR is installed when the SAS 9.3 Intelligence
Platform Object Framework or SAS Management Console is installed.
For easy access to the SAS 9.3 VJR, we recommend the SAS AppDev Studio
development environment. For more information about the VJR, see the
SAS AppDev Studio 3.4 User’s Guide at support.sas.com/rnd/appdev.
SAS language interfaces
to metadata such as PROC METADATA and SAS metadata DATA step functions
simply need access to Base SAS 9.3 software.
