Export Lineage Metadata to SAS Lineage

Overview

SAS Lineage is a web client that enables you to view the lineage of sources and targets in a job. If the SAS Relationship Content Service has been enabled, you can export lineage metadata from SAS Visual Process Orchestration to the service, where it can be accessed by SAS Lineage. For more information about setting up and using SAS Lineage, see its documentation page on support.sas.com: http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dmlin/.
