What Can I Do with the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Metadata API?

Using the metadata API, you can write programs that read, add, update, or delete the metadata in SAS/Warehouse Administrator--without going through the user interface. You can write SCL applications that

• publish HTML pages that contain the current metadata for a SAS/Warehouse Administrator group or data store

• change path names in metadata

• copy a table's metadata (in order to create a similar table, for example)

• add columns to a table

• update a column attribute

• add tables and other objects that are defined by metadata

• use the API in a SAS macro to generate a LIBNAME statement.
