Provides specific information (via a ServerProperties object) about the capabilities of the server, such as operators and recognized functions. This server-type information is used to access the physical data that is specified in data sources within a business model (usually an information map). This information can be retrieved for any business model within a chain of business models (for example, a data selection) as long as a valid data source exists within the business model chain. The ServerProperties object that is returned for one business model within the chain is the same object that is returned for any business model within that chain.

Currently, there are no means for users to extend this information. Information about server properties for all the types of supported servers is loaded by SAS Query Services when the first ServerProperties object is instantiated within a Java Virtual Machine.
