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:

SASEnvironment and Data subdirectories that can be used by the workspace server.
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 reserved for use by metadata utilities.
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.

Contents of the MetadataServer Subdirectory of SASMeta

Subdirectory or File	Description
`Journal`	Contains the data set for the metadata server journal, if JOURNALTYPE="SINGLE" has been specified in omaconfig.xml. For details, see Configuring Metadata Server Journaling.
`Logs`	Is the default location for metadata server logs.
`MetadataRepositories`	Contains subdirectories for each metadata repository. These subdirectories contain the SAS data sets that contain your metadata.
`rposmgr`	Contains data sets for the repository manager.
`sasuser`	Is a SAS library that can be used to store SAS catalogs that enable you to customize certain features of SAS to meet specific needs. SAS assigns the SASUSER library at invocation.
adminUsers.txt, trustedUsers.txt, and trustedPeers.xml	Contain security-related configuration information. See About the Security-Related Configuration Files.
backupServer.sas	Is invoked by MetadataServer.bat when the backup option is used. This program uses the metadata server backup facility to back up the metadata server repositories, repository manager, and server configuration information. For details, see Backing Up and Recovering the SAS Metadata Server.
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.
MetadataServer.srv	On UNIX and z/OS, contains information that is used by generate_boot_scripts.sh to regenerate the sas.servers script.
MetadataServerBackupConfiguration.xml	Contains the configuration options that are in effect for the metadata server backup facility.
MetadataServerBackupHistory.xml	Contains summary information about each metadata server backup and recovery that has been performed.
MetadataServerBackupManifest.xml	Contains detailed information about the most recent metadata server backup. Note: Do not delete or move this file from the metadata server directory. Doing so will prevent the server from starting successfully.
MetadataServerRecoveryManifest.xml	Contains detailed information about the most recent metadata server recovery. The file exists only if a recovery operation has been performed.
MetadataServerSSCU.ini	Configures the metadata server service in the Windows Services Manager.
MetadataServer_shortcuts.ini	Configures shortcuts for the Windows Start menu.
metaparms.sas	Contains user credentials that can be used to execute SAS sessions that include PROC METAOPERATE, PROC METADATA, or &OMABAKUP.
omaconfig.xml	Is the SAS Metadata Server configuration file.
optimizeIMDB.sas	Is invoked by MetadataServer.bat or MetadataServer.sh when the optimizeIMDB option is used. See Using optimizeIMDB to Optimize and Report on Metadata Server Memory Usage.
pauseServer.sas, resumeServer.sas, statusServer.sas, and stopServer.sas	Are programs that are invoked by MetadataServer.bat or MetadataServer.sh when the pause, resume, status, and stop options are used.
sasv9.cfg	Specifies SAS options that are put into effect when the metadata server is started.
sasv9_usermods.cfg	Contains user modifications to the SAS options that are specified in sasv9.cfg.
