Use this page to specify
the metadata that you want to pre-extract and to verify the location

where SAP metadata for the currently selected SAP system is saved.
The pre-extracted metadata is saved in SAS data sets in this library.
You can also use this
page to specify extract options whether you want to exclude structures,
maintenance views, and help views when extracting the SAP metadata.
The page contains these
items.

location of the directory that you defined as the SAP metadata library

You can use this dialog box to specify extract options such as whether
to exclude structures, maintenance views, and help views when you
