Creating the Metadata Using SAS Management Console

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 with an IOM Bridge connection. 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.

To understand how the server metadata is structured in SAS Management Console, see Planning the Metadata. After you understand the metadata structure and have connected to a metadata repository, refer to the following sections for specific instructions about using SAS Management Console to set up a server configuration with an IOM Bridge connection:

• Using SAS Management Console to Define Servers
• Using SAS Management Console to Modify Servers
• Using SAS Management Console to Define Custom Parameters for SAS Workspace or SAS Stored Process Servers (IOM Bridge)
• Using SAS Management Console to Define an OLAP Server (IOM Bridge)
• Using SAS Management Console to Define or Modify a Spawner (IOM Bridge)

To understand and set up user, group, and login definitions for security, see Defining Users, Groups, and Login Definitions

For OLAP servers, to add a COM connection to an existing server, see Adding a COM Connection in the COM/DCOM section.
