| What's New |
| Overview |
The SAS Intelligence Platform: Data Administration Guide focuses on the SAS Intelligence Platform and third-party products that you need to install and the metadata objects that you need to create in order to establish connectivity to your data sources (and data targets). It also contains information about setting up shared access to SAS data and explains how using different data-access engines affects security.
| New Data Surveyors |
In previous releases, SAS integrated data from ERP and CRM systems by accessing the underlying database with SAS/ACCESS software. In this release, SAS has partnered with Composite Software to provide data integration with ERP and CRM systems from PeopleSoft, Oracle Applications, Siebel, and Salesforce.com. These new Data Surveyors access data by using the vendor API and certified interfaces, and they comply with the security of the application. A detailed example of connecting to Salesforce.com is provided.
| Documentation Enhancements |
The following enhancements were made for this release:
added more information about SPD Server and dynamic clusters.
added information about Change Data Capture.
added information about application response monitoring logging.
added more information about establishing connectivity to Oracle.
removed information about registering database schemas because the SAS Management Console no longer has a database schema wizard. Schemas are associated with a data library by typing the schema name in a text field.
removed the task for making column labels available for drill-through tables on an OLAP server. This task is not necessary in this release.
added information about setting libraries to be read-only for reporting applications.
