The
Publishing Framework enables you to create packages that contain one
or more information entities, including SAS data sets, SAS catalogs,
SAS databases, and almost any other type of digital content. You can
also define viewers that make the information entities easier to display.
After creating a package,
you can publish the package and its associated viewers to one or more
channels. This causes the information to be delivered to each user
who has subscribed to those channels, if the package and its contents
meet the subscriber's filtering criteria. In addition to channels,
you can publish packages directly to one or more e-mail addresses,
message queues, WebDAV-compliant servers, archive locations, and SharePoint
servers.
To create and publish
packages, you can use either of the following methods:
-
Use the publish CALL routines to
create packages and publish them from within a SAS program.
-
Use the Java APIs that are provided
with SAS Integration Technologies to create packages and publish them
from within a third-party application.
You can also use SAS
Enterprise Guide or SAS Information Delivery Portal to create and
publish packages via the Publishing Framework.
