In previous releases of SAS^® software, when you created a new folder in SAS^® Management Console you had the option to map content for the folder to either WebDAV or a location on the file system. Beginning with SAS^® 9.3 you may only map content to WebDAV.

The file system option allowed you to specify a path on the local file system. Since a path on one machine (for example, C:\MyFolder) is not likely to point to the same content as the same path on another machine, problems could arise. In order to guarantee the sharing of content and a central mechanism for managing the content, support for this option has been deprecated in SAS 9.3.

WebDAV, via the SAS^® Content Server, is now the only supported content mapping option for SAS Metadata folders.
