Reference: Configuration Directories

Contents of the Metadata Server Subdirectory (SASMeta)

On the machines where the metadata server is installed, the Levn directory includes a subdirectory for the metadata server's files and for components of the metadata utility SAS Application Server. SASMeta is the name that the SAS Deployment Wizard assigns to the metadata server context and, in turn, to this directory.

The SASMeta directory contains the following items:

a WorkspaceServer subdirectory, which contains start-up scripts, configuration files, a logconfig.xml file, and a Logs directory for the SASMeta workspace server. This server is used by metadata utilities such as the Backup and Restore Wizard.
a BatchServer subdirectory, which contains configuration files, a logconfig.xml file, and a Logs directory for the SASMeta DATA step batch server. This server is used to run scheduled metadata utility jobs, such as jobs created by the Backup Wizard.
SASEnvironment and Data subdirectories that can be used by the workspace server.
several files that control the configuration of the SASMeta application server. For details, see Reference: Configuration Files for SAS Servers.
a MetadataServer subdirectory.

The following table lists the contents of the MetadataServer subdirectory. For more information about the metadata server configuration files, see Configuration Files for the Metadata Server.

Subdirectory or File	Description
Journal	Contains the data set for the metadata server journal. For details, see Configuring Metadata Server Journaling.

backupServer.sas and restoreServer.sas	Are programs that are invoked by MetadataServer.bat or MetadataServer.sh when the backup and restore options are used. These programs use the %OMABAKUP macro to pause the metadata server and copy your metadata server files. For details, see Running the backupServer.sas and restoreServer.sas Programs.
logconfig.xml	Specifies the logging configuration for the metadata server. For details, see Administering Logging for SAS Servers.
MetadataServer.bat or MetadataServer.sh,	Is a script that is used to stop, start, pause, resume, or report the status of the metadata server.
