Metadata Overview (COM/DCOM)

The metadata that supports Integration Technologies consists of objects, each defined by a collection of attributes that define the object. If you require metadata, the metadata for a COM/DCOM server configuration must include a sasServer object, which contains startup and connection information for a particular instance of a SAS object server.

For each instance of an object server, the following information is defined in the metadata:

• Server name
• Machine name
• Logical name
• Connection information
• Encryption and pooling information, if required.

For detailed information about the attributes included in the metadata for a server, see the sasServer Attributes List.

The sasLogicalNameInfo object is created automatically if you use IT Administrator to assign a logical name to a server. Logical names are used to create resource groupings.
