Using SAS Lineage :: SAS(R) Data Integration Studio 4.9: User's Guide

Overview

If the SAS Lineage web client is available on your network, you can use it to display lineage for tables and external files that are used in SAS Data Integration Studio. For example, you could use SAS Lineage to display lineage for a table or external file that is used in a SAS Data Integration Studio job. You could also right-click a table or external file in SAS Data Integration Studio and select the Analyze in Web Viewer option. This option enables you to log on to SAS Lineage and view lineage information for that table or file. For more information about SAS Lineage, see http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dmlin.
