Referencing a Metadata Object with a URI

When you use a metadata DATA step function for reading and writing metadata, you specify an object by using a URI, which is a concept from SAS Open Metadata Architecture. For more information, see Metadata Object Identifiers and URIs. Here are examples for the DATA step functions for reading and writing metadata:
ID
omsobj: A57DQR88.AU000003
type/ID
omsobj: LogicalServer/A57DQR88.AU000003
type?@attribute='value'
omsobj: LogicalServer?@Name='SASApp - OLAP Server'
Notes:
  • The OMSOBJ: prefix is not case sensitive.
  • Escape characters are supported with the %nn URL escape syntax. For more information, see the URLENCODE function in SAS Functions and CALL Routines: Reference.
