26 Chapter 2 / Connecting to Common Data Sources Overview of Connecting to Common Data Sources This chapter consists of detailed examples for establishing a connection to each of the common data sources introduced in “Overview of Common Data Sources” on page 2. Some of the connection processes covered in this chapter have common elements that might be applied to similar data sources. For example, the description of the process of using SAS/ACCESS to connect to an Oracle database might be useful when you connect to other relational databases such as DB2, Sybase, and Informix. Also, the descriptions of ODBC connections to Oracle and Microsoft Access databases and the account of the connection to an SAP source can be helpful when you connect to similar data sources. In order to perform the procedures for registering libraries, you must have ReadMetadata and WriteMetadata permission for the repository and the SAS Application Servers that the data library is assigned to. This chapter also explains the process that registers tables as metadata from the data sources. Registering a table in metadata enables you to view the data in a SAS application. For more information about managing table metadata, see “Managing Table Metadata” on page 117. Overview of SAS/ACCESS Connections to RDBMS Process Overview This section provides generic instructions for using SAS Management Console to configure access to a database. SAS/ACCESS must be licensed and configured before using SAS Management Console to register the library that holds the tables. The generic procedure has two stages:
1 Register the DBMS server. 2 Register the DBMS library. Register the DBMS Server To register a DBMS server, perform the following steps: 1 Right-click Server Manager and select the New Server option to access the New Server wizard. 2 Select the database server type from the Database Servers list. Then, click Next. 3 Enter an appropriate server name in the Name field. Click Next. 4 Accept the defaults for the server properties. Click Next. 5 Specify the database vendor-specific values on the connection properties page. If the user credentials for the database are different from the credentials used to log in to SAS, then you must create an Authentication domain to store valid database credentials. For more information, see “How to Store Passwords for a Third-Party Server” in Chapter 11 of SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide. Click Next. 6 Examine the final page of the wizard to ensure that the proper values have been entered. Click Finish to save the wizard settings. Register the DBMS Library To register a DBMS library, perform the following steps: Overview of SAS/ACCESS Connections to RDBMS 27 1 In SAS Management Console, expand Data Library Manager. Right-click Libraries and select the New Library option to access the New Library wizard. 2 Select the database type from the Database Data list. Click Next.
