Connecting to Common Data Sources |
If your site uses libraries for reporting, or for access exclusively
by report generating applications such as SAS Information Map Studio and SAS
Web Report Studio, then consider setting read-only access for the library.
If the library is not set for read-only access, then even when reporting applications
raise a query against the library, the underlying SAS session opens the data
in read-write mode. In this case, simultaneous queries against the same library
might be prevented. Simply put, if clients access the information in read-only
mode, then set the library to read the data source in read-only mode.
