Middle-Tier Components of the SAS Intelligence Platform |
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.
For more information about the SAS Content Server, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide.
