Using the SAS Integration Technologies Configuration Utility (ITConfig)

The SAS Integration Technologies configuration utility (ITConfig) lets you generate metadata configuration files and test Integrated Object Model (IOM) connections between client machines and SAS. Using ITConfig, you can

• create metadata configuration files that can be used to access an LDAP server or SAS Metadata Server.
• test and diagnose IOM connections to SAS servers. The application can test COM, DCOM, and IOM Bridge connection types.
• set the registry parameters that are used by the workspace manager on an LDAP server.

Starting the Application

Select Start Programs SAS SAS 9.1 Utilities Integration Technologies Configuration to open ITConfig.

When the program starts, it checks the Windows program registry for unused Integration Technologies entries. If any unused entries are found, the application gives you the option of removing the entries.

The Integration Technologies Configuration window appears.

This window displays information about your current configuration, including the version of SAS installed, whether DCOM is installed and active, and DCOM configuration settings. Use this window to choose whether you want to

• create metadata configuration files (Create Metadata Config File)
• view and change the LDAP parameters for the Workspace Manager (Configure WorkspaceManager Parameters)
• test the connection to a server (Test Connection)
