LIBNAME Statement for the Information Maps Engine

Using the LIBNAME Statement

The LIBNAME statement for the Information Maps engine associates a SAS libref with information maps that are stored in a metadata server. The engine reads information maps and uses their metadata to access underlying data.

You must have a metadata server available that contains metadata that defines the information maps to be accessed. For the necessary server identifiers and metadata object names and identifiers, see the documentation for your application.

The metadata server, which is a multi-user server that stores metadata from one or more metadata repositories, must be running in order to execute the LIBNAME statement for the engine.

For information about defining metadata, installing and setting up a standard SAS Metadata Server, or changing the standard configuration options for the metadata server, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
