SAS Management Console
is a Java application that provides a single point of control for
managing multiple SAS application resources. Rather than using a separate
administrative interface for each application in your enterprise intelligence
environment, you can use SAS Management Console's single interface
to perform the administrative tasks required to create and maintain
an integrated environment.
SAS Management Console
manages resources and controls by creating and maintaining metadata
definitions for entities such as:
Metadata definitions
that are created through SAS Management Console are stored in a repository
or on a SAS Metadata Server where they are available for other applications
to use. For example, you can use SAS Management Console to create
a metadata definition for a SAS library that specifies information
such as the libref, path, and engine type (such as sasspds). After
SAS Management Console stores the metadata definition for the library
in the repository on the SAS Metadata Server, any other application
can access the definition to access the specified library.
The SAS Management Console
application is a framework. The metadata definitions are created using
Java plug-ins, which are application modules that create metadata
for a specific type of resource.
For example, administrators
can use SAS Management Console to configure SPD Server user and group
passwords and ACLs instead of using the traditional SPD Server psmgr
utility and SPDO procedure statements.
SAS Management Console
for SPD Server 4.5 is installed with SAS 9.3 Management Console.
