Working in the Middle-Tier Environment |
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 Web-based Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) based protocols for access, versioning, collaboration, security, and searching. Administrative users can use the browser-based SAS Web Administration Console to create, delete, and manage permissions for folders on the SAS Content Server. Administrative users can also search the SAS Content Server by using industry-standard query syntax, including XML Path Language (XPath) and DAV Searching and Locating (DASL).
