Metadata Details View in the Explorer

You can browse Warehouse metadata through the Metadata Details view in the Explorer. Open the Metadata Details view using one of the following methods:

• Open an Environment in the Explorer.

• From the menu bar, select View, then Metadata Details.

• Expand the contents of a Data Warehouse.

• Position the cursor on a group or data store and click the left mouse button.

  The metadata tabs for the selected object will be displayed.

The Metadata Details view in the Explorer displays much of the information that you enter when you define warehouse elements. Other information is generated by SAS/Warehouse Administrator, such as the dates and times that the metadata for a warehouse element were created. Some of the tabs--such as the tabs for Notes, Support, and Process--appear only if you have defined metadata for those tabs.

Note:   It is recommended that you set the Explorer view to Metadata General when there is no need to search metadata.  

The Metadata Details view can impact performance because it searches and displays the metadata for the specific object.
