SAS Publisher

SAS Publisher provides an intuitive, easy-to-use graphical interface for you to point and click your way through the package publishing process. SAS Publisher serves as the front-end for the SAS 4GL CALL routine interface that drives the SAS Integration Technology publish-and-subscribe solution.

SAS Publisher enables the publisher to select existing digital content within the business enterprise for inclusion in a single package for immediate delivery to the people who need it most. Digital content can include both SAS data and other external data. In the context of SAS Publisher, package entities are referred to as items.

Package delivery methods span the range from simple to complex: simple e-mail to a list of known recipients, information channels for end-user and group subscription, message queue or archive for subsequent person or programmatic access, and collections on WebDAV-compliant servers for subsequent retrieval and re-use.

The ability of SAS Publisher to create and to deliver information is the cornerstone of the Publishing Framework. Underlying the functions of SAS Publisher is a rich set of Publish Package CALL routines, which could also be directly used to develop programmatic solutions for package publishing.
