Stored Processes

A stored process is a SAS program that is stored centrally on a server. A client application can then execute the program, optionally supply name/value parameters, and receive and process the results. For details about creating a stored process and processing the results, refer to Stored Processes in the Integration Technologies Developer's Guide.

To make a stored process accessible to client applications, you can use IT Administrator to create metadata that describes the stored process and its location. The process includes:

• defining a stored process path to enable applications to determine where the stored process is located

• creating a stored process object that contains a name for the stored process and information about associated parameters
