Metadata Configuration Files

Metadata configuration files contain information about how to access the SAS Metadata Server.

You can create metadata configuration files in the following ways:

using the METACON command in SAS
using the SAS Integration Technologies configuration utility (ITConfig)
using the WriteConfigFile method

The metadata configuration file contains information about how to access the metadata server and might also contain user and password information for connecting to the metadata server. ITConfig enables you to create a configuration file without a user name and password, so that users can specify their own credentials.

Use one of the methods previously listed to generate the metadata configuration file. The configuration file can contain the following connection information:

port
machine
encryption
repository name
user name
password
domain

For more information about using the ITConfig utility to generate metadata configuration files, see the ITConfig utility Help.

For more information about using the METACON command to generate metadata configuration files, see the Help for the Metadata Server Connections window.

For more information about using WriteConfigFile, see the SAS Object Manager reference (sasoman.chm).
