Introduction to the SAS Management Console

3. What Is the SAS Management Console?
The SAS Management Console is a Java application that provides a single point of control for managing resources that are used throughout the Intelligence Value Chain.
ต้องมีการวางแผนก่อน ว่าผู้ค้าต้องการอะไร และออกแบบ จากนั้นก็จะทำ ETL จากนั้นก็มาสร้างเป็น Intelligent Storage (Data warehouse ว่ามีโครงสร้างแบบไหน) จากนั้นก็มา BI ตัว หลังจากที่ทำ BI เสร็จ (ส่วนใหญ่ของเราจะทำแค่นี้)Analytic Intelligence(ต้องหา Tool อีกที) คล้ายๆ กับ EG ประมาณว่าวิเคราะห์ได้ว่าอีก ห้าปีข้างหน้า ข้อมูลเพิ่มเท่าไรลดเท่าไหร่

4. What Is the SAS Management Console?
SAS Management Console's single interface can be used to perform the administrative tasks required to create and maintain an integrated environment rather than using a separate administrative interface for each application in your enterprise intelligence environment.

5. Tasks Managed by SAS Management Console
SAS Management Console can be used to manage a variety of tasks, including
server definitions
library definitions
user definitions
resource access controls
metadata repositories
SAS licenses
job schedules
XMLMaps.

6. Metadata Definitions
SAS Management Console manages resources and controls them by creating and maintaining metadata definitions for each resource or control. The metadata definitions created in SAS Management Console are stored in a repository on a SAS Metadata Server, where they are available for other applications to use.
SAS Metadata Server

7. SAS Metadata Server
The SAS Metadata Server is a multiuser server that surfaces metadata from one or more repositories to SAS Open Metadata Interface client applications via the SAS Open Metadata Architecture. The SAS Open Metadata Architecture enables
separate applications to exchange metadata
centralized management of an organization's metadata resources.

8. How SAS Management Console Works
Section 4.2
How SAS Management Console Works

9. How SAS Management Console Works
SAS Management Console works in conjunction with SAS Metadata Servers. A metadata server must be set up and started before work can begin with SAS Management Console.

10. Metadata Profile
When SAS Management Console is invoked, a metadata profile is selected that specifies
the metadata server to which metadata definitions will be written
the active metadata repository
information required to connect to the metadata server.

11. Connecting to SAS Metadata Servers
Metadata Server “DataServ”
Metadata Repository “MainRepos”
ARepos
BRepos
SAS Management Console
Metadata server – DataServ Metadata repository – MainRepos User ID - sastest
Metadata Profile
Metadata Server “DevServ”
...

12. Connecting to SAS Metadata Servers
Each metadata server can contain multiple repositories, and the SAS Management Console can be used to store definitions in any of the repositories. The active repository is the repository that is currently selected and is receiving metadata definitions from the application.

13. Repositories
SAS Management Console can be used to set up a hierarchy of repositories on the metadata server, consisting of different repository types including:
Foundation Repositories
specify the parent repository for all other repositories on the server. This repository contains resource definitions that are used throughout the enterprise.
Project Repositories
specify development repositories that can be used for change management.
...

14. Metadata and Repositories – Review
Metadata is information about data and computing resources, or data about data. Metadata definitions are stored in a repository where they are available for use by other applications. The Foundation repository is the parent repository for all other repositories on the server and includes metadata objects that describe SAS servers, data libraries, data tables, and metadata users.

15. SAS Servers – Review
The various SAS Servers in the Intelligence Platform are defined in the metadata. These server definitions include details on where the process is executing and how to connect to it. An individual server definition may be part of an Application Server context that provides a place to attach libraries, schemas, directories, and any resources that are to be available to the SAS servers.

16. Metadata Users
Metadata users may have their own metadata identity and/or belong to a user group. All users who can access the metadata server implicitly belong to a special group named PUBLIC. There are several different types of users in the metadata, including these:
SAS Administrator (sasadm)
an unrestricted user with special privileges to manage user accounts and administer the metadata server.
SAS Demo User (sasdemo)
the account that can be used to access the various client tools.
...

17. SAS Management Console Case Study Tasks
In class, you only have one repository, a foundation repository named Foundation.
Metadata Server
Within the Foundation repository, the application server context is named SASMain, which holds the various SAS Servers.
Foundation
SASMain
Workspace Server
There are several users and groups defined that will be used during class, including
PUBLIC (group)
sasadm (unrestricted user)
sasdemo (demo user).
Stored Process Server
OLAP Server
PUBLIC
sasadm
sasdemo
...

18. Introduction to SAS Management Console Plug-Ins
Section 4.3
Introduction to SAS Management Console Plug-Ins

19. SAS Management Console Plug-Ins
SAS Management Console plug-ins are Java files that provide specific administrative functions by creating specific types of metadata definitions. SAS Management Console includes a standard set of plug-ins. Additional plug-ins can be installed to access and manage other SAS or third-party applications.

20. SAS Management Console Plug-Ins
SAS Management Console plug-ins are grouped into two main categories:
Environment Management plug-ins for configuring SAS resources such as servers, metadata, libraries, and users
Application Management plug-ins for configuring SAS applications.
When a plug-in is installed, it is added automatically to the appropriate category.

21. SAS Management Console Plug-Ins
Some of the plug-ins provided with SAS Management Console include:
Authorization Manager
defines access rules to control how users and groups can access metadata definitions.
Data Library Manager
creates definitions for SAS libraries and database schemas.
Metadata Manager
provides functions for defining metadata repositories on the active server, managing resource templates, and creating jobs to promote or replicate a metadata repository.
Schedule Manager
allows you to create schedules for running jobs created in SAS ETL Studio.
...

22. Plug-In Information
Because each plug-in has its own functions, the SAS Management Console menu bar and toolbar change whenever you select a node within the navigation tree. Different nodes within a single plug-in can activate different menu items and tools.

23. Working with the User Interface
Section 4.4
Working with the User Interface

24. SAS Management Console User Interface
The SAS Management Console user interface consists of six major parts:
Menu bar
Toolbar
Context bar
Navigation tree
Display area
Status line.

32. Register Metadata for Existing Tables
When you create metadata to define a library in the SAS Management Console, you define the library only and not any tables that it contains. To import metadata to define an existing data source, use the Source Designer.

33. Source Designer
The Source Designer is a wizard-driven interface that enables you to define the physical layout of existing tables using a data dictionary or metadata information from the source system. The result of running the Source Designer successfully is a metadata registration that describes the data source.

34. Register Metadata for Existing Tables
This demonstration shows how to register the metadata for the tables in the Source Tables Library.
