Creating Metadata Using SAS Management Console

If your applications need to access metadata from the SAS Metadata Server, you must create metadata that describes your server configuration.

If you are using the SAS Metadata Server, you can use the SAS Management Console graphical user interface to create and modify the metadata for your server configuration. For information about SAS Management Console, from the SAS Management Console menu bar, select Help Help on SAS Management Console. For Help on the fields in a particular window, click Help in that window.

Before you can create definitions on your SAS Metadata Server, you must set up a SAS Metadata Server. You must also use SAS Management Console to create a repository.
