SAS Data Integration Studio can import and export relational metadata in any format
that is supported by a SAS Metadata Bridge. By importing and exporting relational
metadata in external formats, you can reuse metadata from third-party applications,
and you can reuse
SAS metadata in those applications as well. For example, you can use third-party data modeling
software to specify a
star schema for a set of tables. The model can be exported in Common Warehouse Metamodel (CWM)
format. You can then use a SAS Metadata Bridge to import that model into SAS Data
Integration Studio.
The Export
Metadata Wizard enables you to export relational metadata from SAS
Data Integration Studio to a file, in any format that is supported
by a SAS Metadata Bridge. The Import Metadata Wizard enables you to
perform the following tasks:
-
Import relational metadata in a
file, in any format that can be accessed with a SAS Metadata Bridge.
-
Compare imported metadata to existing
metadata.
-
View any changes in the Differences
window.
-
-
Choose which changes to apply to the target environment.
