Updating Relationships :: SAS(R) Visual Process Orchestration 2.1: User's Guide

Overview

If your site has licensed DataFlux Web Studio and DataFlux Business Data Network, then you can use the following features in SAS Visual Process Orchestration:

You can right-click one or more orchestration jobs in the list view of the SAS Folders tree, and then select Update Relationships. If you provide the appropriate credentials, lineage metadata about the selected jobs is exported to DataFlux Business Data Network. Users of that application can then link terms to the jobs and related objects.
You can click the Actions menu in the SAS Folders window, and then select Update Relationships. If you provide the appropriate credentials, lineage metadata about all jobs in the SAS Folders tree is exported to DataFlux Business Data Network.

In order for this feature to work, an administrator must perform the tasks that are described in Setup for Exporting Relationship Metadata to DataFlux Web Studio. You must know the login credentials for a DataFlux Business Data Network user.

After the metadata for jobs has been exported, DataFlux Business Data Network users can import this metadata and begin working with it. For more information about that task, see the “Importing Relationship Data and Reviewing Relationships” topic in the DataFlux Web Studio: User’s Guide.
