WHPRCSPR

Overview

WHPRCPST models the metadata for post-load processes in SAS/Warehouse Administrator. A post-load process is code that is specified in the Process Editor to execute after a table is loaded. Here is one way to add a post-load process in SAS/Warehouse Administrator:

In the Explorer, select a table with the right mouse button.
Select Process from the pop-up menu.
In the Process Editor, select the table with the right mouse button.
Select Edit Load Step.
Go to the Post Processing tab.
Enter the process information.

Properties

The following table lists all of the properties for WHPRCPST and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods.

In the table, you can specify properties with a Yes in the Indirect Add column when you indirectly add one object through another, as described in the documentation for the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method. Use this approach to add a new dependent object. For details, see Using _UPDATE_METADATA_.

You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method, as described in the documentation for this method. Use this method to update properties of an existing object. For details, see Using _UPDATE_METADATA_.

* Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this property when you use a given method. * Default indicates that the system will provide a default value for that property if you do not provide one. * Auto supplied means that the property is automatically supplied; any value that you specify for such a property is ignored.

Properties with a Yes in the Read Method Expand Parm column are valid with the expand parameter of the _GET_METADATA_ method. This method enables you to get detailed metadata about a property and its associated objects through a single method call.

New Types for WHPRCPST are as follows:

PROCESS: specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the load process to which this post-load process belongs. This list must be a subtype of WHPRCLDR.
SOURCE FILE: specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about any user-registered code for a process. This list must be of type WHSRCCAT or a subtype of WHSRCCAT. WHJOBCAT or any subtype of WHJOBCAT will be rejected, however. For process steps that consist of user-written code, this property returns the registered source code location. For process steps that consist of code that is generated by SAS/Warehouse Administrator, this property will return an empty list.
