What’s New in SAS Environment Manager 2.5

The method of discovering and collecting data from SAS logs has been improved. Rather than relying on log locations that are stored in metadata, the ETL processes look through the directory structure of a SAS deployment to find log files.

Support has been added for collecting metric data from a SAS grid and from the servers that make up the grid. Grid resources are discovered automatically.

Functions have been added to the Administration section of SAS Environment Manager to enable you to manage metadata definitions for SAS servers, libraries, and users. Information about using the Administration functions has been moved to SAS Environment Manager Administration: User's Guide.

Support for a federated data mart has been added. A federated data mart is separate from the SAS Environment Manager data mart, and enables you to collect metric data in data marts for several SAS deployments, copy that data to a single collector deployment, and view the collected metric data in one place.

The reports in the Report Center (part of the service architecture) have been changed from stored process report objects to stored process objects, which makes the reports more dynamic. The reports are now re-generated at every request, rather than being cached after the first time they are generated. Each stored process is generated using prompts that enable you to alter the contents and appearance of the report.
