What's New in SAS 9.3 Publishing Framework

Overview

SAS 9.3 Publishing Framework provides the ability to publish to Microsoft SharePoint, as well as new properties for CALL routines.

General Enhancements

The following general enhancements have been added to the SAS Publishing Framework:
  • You can use the Publish Package CALL routines to publish and retrieve packages to and from SharePoint. Publishing to SharePoint is similar to publishing to WebDAV in that it facilitates concurrent access to and update of package data on the Internet. For more information about publishing packages to SharePoint, see PACKAGE_PUBLISH (Publish Package to Microsoft SharePoint). For more information about retrieving packages from SharePoint, see RETRIEVE_PACKAGE.
  • The INSERT_FILE CALL routine can have a DESTINATION_FILENAME property defined. This property enables you to specify a different destination filename when publishing a package. For more information, see INSERT_FILE.
  • The HTTP_TOKENAUTH property can be used when publishing to WebDAV. This property enables token authentication to a SAS Content Server. For more information, see PACKAGE_PUBLISH (Publish Package to a WebDAV-Compliant Server).
  • The GENERATED_NAME property is supported when publishing to WebDAV, archive, or SharePoint. This property enables you to obtain the name of the generated package or archive. For more information, see PACKAGE_PUBLISH (Publish Package to a WebDAV-Compliant Server).
