The SAS Content Server
is part of the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform. This server stores
digital content (such as documents, reports, and images) that is created
and used by SAS Web applications. For example, the SAS Content Server
stores report definitions that are created by users of SAS Web Report
Studio, as well as images and other elements that are used in reports.
A process called content mapping ensures that report content is stored
using the same folder names, folder hierarchy, and permissions that
the SAS Metadata Server uses to store corresponding report metadata.
In addition, the SAS
Content Server stores documents and other files that are to be displayed
in the SAS Information Delivery Portal or in SAS solutions.
To interact with the
SAS Content Server, client applications use WebDAV-based protocols
for access, versioning, collaboration, security, and searching. Administrative
users can use the browser-based SAS Web Management Console to create,
delete, and manage permissions for folders on the SAS Content Server.
