News about SAS Metadata Server
New Backup and Recovery Facility for the SAS Metadata Server 9.3

SAS 9.3 includes a new backup and recovery facility that provides the following features:

  • Daily backups are automatically configured and are performed by the server without the need for administrator intervention.
  • The backup process is a "hot" backup that executes in a separate thread while the metadata server is up and running. Therefore, the server does not need to be paused during the backup.
  • Transactions recorded in the journal file can be used to perform roll-forward recovery to a specific point in time after the last backup was taken.
  • Detailed backup and recovery history is displayed in SAS Management Console.


Overview

The SAS Metadata Server is a centralized resource for storing, managing, and delivering metadata for SAS applications across the enterprise. The SAS Metadata Server enables centralized control so that all users access consistent and accurate data. Access to data and metadata is secured through a metadata-based authorization layer, which supplements protections from the host environment and other systems. The functionality of the SAS Metadata Server is provided through the SAS Open Metadata Architecture, which is a metadata management facility that provides common metadata services to applications.
