Overview

WHSCRFIL models the metadata for SAS/CONNECT script files in SAS/Warehouse Administrator. These scripts are used to access a remote host. The location of such a script is specified as part of the host definition for a remote host. In SAS/Warehouse Administrator, to specify the location of a SAS/CONNECT script as part of a new remote host definition:

From the SAS/Warehouse Administrator desktop, select an environment with the right mouse button.
Select Edit.
From the Explorer pull-down menu, select File Setup
Select Hosts.
Click Add.
Enter the host information, including the SAS/CONNECT script field.

Properties

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

In the table, you can pass properties with a Yes in the Add column to the _ADD_METADATA_ method. Use this method to add a new object.

You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the _UPDATE_METADATA_ method. Use this method to update properties of an existing object.

* 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.

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.

WHSCRFIL is a dependent type, like all subtypes of WHTFILE. To understand how all subtypes of WHTFILE relate to other types, see the process model in Relationships Among Metadata Types.

Use of _DELETE_METADATA for this type deletes SAS/Warehouse Administrator metadata, not the corresponding script file.
