Interface MetadataObjects

All Known Subinterfaces:
MdFactory, MdObjectStore, MdServerStore
All Known Implementing Classes:
MdFactoryImpl

public interface MetadataObjects

This interface defines the objects of the SAS Open Metadata Architecture model as constant variables. These should be used where you need a string representation of a metadata type. For example: PhysicalTable = MetadataObjects.PHYSICALTABLE.

These are generated to match the SAS Open Metadata Architecture Model.

ABSTRACTEXTENSION

static final java.lang.String ABSTRACTEXTENSION
Model description of the metadata type:

The SAS Metadata Model supports extensions to enable end users and application developers to define additional attributes that are not part of an object's metadata type definition. Two types of extended attributes are supported:

  • end user-defined attributes

  • application-specific attributes

  • An example of a user-defined extended attribute is an attribute that is defined in the Extended Properties tab of a SASLibrary or Table object in SAS Management Console. Any attribute defined in this tab can be viewed and modified by any user who is authorized to view and modify the library or table resource. An example of an application-specific extended attribute is a SortType attribute on a Column. If the data in a column's source table is stored chronologically and an application has a need to access the data alphabetically, then the SortType attribute can specify how the application should rearrange or request the data from the data store.

    AbstractExtension is the supertype for describing end user-defined attributes. As a supertype, it defines attributes that are common to the Extension and NumericExtension metadata types and should not be instantiated. The SAS Metadata Model requires that you distinguish between character and numeric attributes when defining end-user attributes. Use the Extension metadata type to define attributes that store character values. Use the NumericExtension metadata type to define attributes that store numeric values.

    Extensions are provided for end-users to extend a metadata type and should be supported by all top-level objects in a UI.

    Application-specific attributes are defined by using the AbstractProperty and Property metadata types.

    Constant Field Values

    ABSTRACTJOB

    static final java.lang.String ABSTRACTJOB
    Model description of the metadata type: A job is a set of processes that initiate a process or create an output such as a data store or output table. A given job can produce a single output or multiple outputs. In addition, jobs can be scheduled.

    As a supertype, the AbstractJob metadata type defines metadata that is common to all metadata types that define a job and should not be instantiated. When actually defining a job, use the Job metadata type and follow the recommendations for other metadata types provided in the documentation for the feature for which you want to create metadata. For instance, if you want to create a job for the LSF Scheduler, read the documentation for the scheduler.

    ABSTRACTPROMPT

    static final java.lang.String ABSTRACTPROMPT
    Model description of the metadata type: The parent class for types used by the SAS Prompt Interface.

    See Also:

    ABSTRACTPROPERTY

    static final java.lang.String ABSTRACTPROPERTY
    Model description of the metadata type: Used to contain name/value pairs.

    The AbstractProperty metadata type defines attributes and associations that are common to all of the property types; however, as a supertype, it should not be instantiated. When defining a metadata object to contain an actual name/value pair, use the Property metadata type or one of the other property metadata types, depending on the usage goal.

    See Also:
    Constant Field Values

    ABSTRACTTRANSFORMATION

    static final java.lang.String ABSTRACTTRANSFORMATION
    Model description of the metadata type: The parent type for transformation types. Transformation types are used to document transformation of data. This includes extraction, transformation, and loading of data, stored procedures, and logical to physical mappings. AbstractTransformation is a supertype that defines common attributes and associations that are shared by metadata types that describe the steps and activities in the transformation process.

    This metadata type should not be instantiated. Instead, use the appropriate subtype to represent the steps and activities in a transformation.

    See Also:
    Constant Field Values

    ACCESSCONTROL

    static final java.lang.String ACCESSCONTROL
    Model description of the metadata type: An access control is an object that relates an identity and a permission to a resource in order to regulate access to the resource. The SAS Open Metadata Architecture authorization facility uses the information in access controls to return authorization decisions on resource requests.

    The SAS Metadata Model defines two basic types of access controls: AccessControlEntry, which associates identities and permissions directly with a resource; and AccessControlTemplate, which enables users to define a template of identities and permissions that can be applied to multiple resources. AccessControl is a supertype and should not be instantiated. When defining an actual access control, use the AccessControlEntry and AccessControlTemplate metadata types.

    AccessControl objects should not be explicitly created or deleted. Access controls are managed programmatically using the SAS Open Metadata Interface ISecurityAdmin method class, which is documented in the SAS 9.2 Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage. The ISecurityAdmin class provides methods for defining and managing direct access controls as well as access control templates.

    ACCESSCONTROLENTRY

    static final java.lang.String ACCESSCONTROLENTRY
    Model description of the metadata type: The AccessControlEntry metadata type is used to define an access control directly on a resource. The access control is stored with the resource definition and is unique to that resource. That is, the AccessControlEntry (ACE) cannot be applied to another metadata object.

    An ACE can specify permissions for both individual users and for groups. If a given identity is referenced more than once in the ACE, for example, both directly and by virtue of membership in one or more groups, the permission assigned directly to the identity will take precedence.

    When the SAS Open Metadata Architecture authorization facility evaluates access controls, a permission assigned in an ACE will take precedence over a permission assigned in an AccessConrolTemplate (ACT). A resource-specific access control also takes precedence over any inherited access controls and permissions assigned in the Repository ACT.

    An ACE should not be explicitly created or deleted. Access controls are managed programmatically using the SAS Open Metadata Interface ISecurityAdmin server interface, which is documented in the SAS 9.2 Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage. ISecurityAdmin provides methods for defining and managing direct access controls as well as access control templates.

    See Also:
    Constant Field Values

    ACCESSCONTROLTEMPLATE

    static final java.lang.String ACCESSCONTROLTEMPLATE
    Model description of the metadata type: The AccessControlTemplate (ACT) metadata type enables you to define a template of individual users, groups, and permissions that can be applied to multiple resources. This template is stored as an independent resource that can be associated with other resources. Use this metadata type when you want to confer the same set of authorizations on multiple resources. Because an ACT is independent of the resources that it controls, it is also easy to maintain when an update is needed. Any change that you make to the ACT will be enforced on all resources that reference the ACT.

    An ACT should not be explicitly created or deleted. ACTs are managed programmatically using the SAS Open Metadata Interface ISecurityAdmin method class, which is documented in the SAS 9.2 Open Metadata Interface: Reference and Usage. The ISecurityAdmin class provides methods for defining and managing direct access controls as well as access control templates.

    static final java.lang.String GLOBALFORMULA
    Model description of the metadata type: PROC OLAP and OLAP CUBE Studio enable users to define formulas for the dimensions of a cube that result in the creation of calculated members and named sets. In SAS 9.2, the GlobalFormula metadata type was used to store the formula that created the calculated member or named set. In SAS 9.3, it was decided that this modeling was not sufficient to enable the object to refer back to the dimension, hierarchy, or level to which the calculated member or named set belongs.

    Public objects may be copied, deleted, moved, and secured as a unit and are usually contained in a folder. They must have the PublicType= attribute set. Some public objects may be embedded in other objects; these are cosidered components. A component may be secured apart from the containing object. For example, a column may have security different from the containing table. A component may also be copied, deleted, and secured etc as a unit apart from the containing object.

    All other types are secondary objects. Secondary objects may not reside in a folder and are contained, directly or indirectly, by a public object or component. Secondary objects may not be shared between two public objects.

    static final java.lang.String PROTOTYPE
    Model description of the metadata type: Used to create a template for creating other metadata objects or set of metadata objects that represent a concept. Any metadata type may be associated with a prototype. The prototype includes all possible valid options or properties that may be used to describe the metadata object that is represented by the prototype. The prototype may then be used to drive a UI that will aid an end user in the creation of metadata. The model allows for any metadata type to be considered a prototype, however, there is currently no defined way to specify that the given metadata object is a prototype that does not represent a particular entity. It is recommended that only metadata types that have a role attribute be considered candidates for defining new prototypes. The role attribute is typically used by clients to filter the metadata before displaying to end users.
