Define Publish Locations for the SAS Content Server

During the SAS Decision Manager installation process, the ModelManager, sasfolders, and sasdav WebDAV folders are automatically created on the SAS Content Server. You can use the SAS Content Server Administration Console (SCS Admin Console) to create a new publishing location for the WebDAV folder or to control access to an existing WebDAV folder. If you need to define a new WebDAV-enabled HTTP content server after the initial installation of SAS Decision Manager, then you must define a publishing location. For more information, see Define an HTTP or HTTPS Server.
Note: Although you can add a folder to the sasfolders location, the folder that you add is not added to the SAS Metadata Server.
Tip
The best practice is to add folders to metadata using SAS Management Console.
To define a new publishing location:
  1. Access the SAS Content Server Administration console by entering the following URL in your web browser and substituting the server name and port number of your SAS Content Server: http://server-name:port/SASContentServer/dircontents.jsp.
    Note: The default port number for the SAS Web Application Server is 80 for a UNIX environment and 7980 for a Windows environment.
  2. Sign in to the console as an unrestricted user (for example, SAS Administrator). The SCS Admin Console window appears.

  3. Enter a name for the folder in the text box and then click Add folder to create a new location for publishing channels.
  4. (Optional) To create a subfolder, select the folder that you created in the previous step, enter a name for the subfolder in the text box, and click Add folder.
    Note: Use the breadcrumb trail above the list to return to a parent folder.
  5. To set permissions for a folder:
    1. Click the permission icon Properties next to the item that you want to modify. The Permissions page appears.

    2. For each principal that is listed, modify the permissions by changing each permission to Yes or No.
    3. To add more principals to the page, do one of the following:
      • If you know the principal's name, enter it in the field and click Save changes.
      • Click Search for Principals to search for a name. When you find the principal that you want to add, select the check box that is next to the principal's name and then click Return.
      After the principal's name appears on the permission page, you can set permissions for the principal.
