120 Copying, Promoting, Importing, and Exporting Your Metadata R Chapter 15 R include the path to the repository manager. That is, a repository directory should not be nested within the rposmgr directory. If you create repository directories within the MetadataServer/ MetadataRepositories directory created for you by the planned installation, the repositories will inherit any file and directory permissions that you defined for the MetadataServer directory. If you create the repositories elsewhere, you will need to set file and directory access permissions for each repository. 3 When registering a repository, use a relative pathname for the repository location. The use of a relative pathname makes a repository easier to copy and move. A SAS Metadata Server that was set up by the planned SAS installation must have its repositories identified relative to the SASMain directory—for example, MetadataServer/MetadataRepositories/repository-name. 3 Repository names must be unique. 3 A repository directory should not contain any files that are not part of the repository. 3 Do not overwrite an old repository with a new one. Note: 3 The metadata server must add, update, and delete repositories when no other activity is taking place on the server, so it automatically delays other client requests until the repository changes are complete. This delay might have a small effect on server performance. 3 Custom repositories are supported only by SAS Data Integration Studio, SAS OLAP Cube Studio, and solutions that use SAS Solutions Services (for example, SAS Financial Management and SAS Strategic Performance Management). Project repositories are supported only by SAS Data Integration Studio. Copying, Promoting, Importing, and Exporting Your Metadata Tools for Copying, Promoting, Importing, and Exporting Metadata The SAS Intelligence Platform includes several tools to assist you in copying, promoting, importing, and exporting your metadata. Some tools apply to an entire metadata repository, while others apply to specific types of metadata. Some of the tools are useful in promotion scenarios—for example, when you are creating a new development environment based on an existing production environment, or when you are moving objects from a test environment to a production environment. The tools that are available include the following: 3 Metadata Manager Promotion Wizard and Replication Wizard (to copy an entire metadata repository) 3 BI Manager Import and Export Wizards (to copy selected objects from one repository to another) 3 Metadata Manager Import and Export Wizards (to copy metadata for relational data and DBMSs to and from external sources) 3 SAS Data Integration Studio Import and Export Wizards (to copy metadata for relational data and DBMSs to and from external sources with change analysis) 3 %OMAPORT Macro (to port a metadata repository from one operating system environment to another)
Creating, Moving, Copying, and Deleting Metadata Repositories R About the Metadata Manager Import and Export Wizards 121 The wizards are described briefly in the following paragraphs. For information about the %OMAPORT macro, see “Porting a Repository to a Different Host Environment” on page 123. About the Promotion Wizard and the Replication Wizard The Promotion Wizard and the Replication Wizard are features of SAS Management Console that enable you to copy an entire metadata repository from one host machine to another. The two wizards are identical, except that the Promotion Wizard enables you to make modifications to the metadata as you copy it. For example, you can change port numbers, host names, schema names, and path names. You can save the promotion or replication process as a job and rerun the process at any time without having to redefine the process parameters. The Promotion and Replication wizards completely replace the metadata that exists in the target environment. The wizards copy only metadata; you must use other methods to copy the associated content. The Promotion and Replication wizards enable you to replicate or promote a repository between hosts in the same operating environment. For example, you can replicate a repository from a Windows host to another Windows host, a Solaris host to another Solaris host, or an HP-UX host to another HP-UX host. However, you cannot replicate a repository from a Windows host to a Solaris host or from a Solaris host to a z/OS host. The Promotion and Replication wizards are located in the Metadata Manager Job Definitions folder. For detailed information, see Chapter 17, “Using the Promotion and Replication Wizards to Copy an Entire Metadata Repository,” on page 135. About the BI Manager Import and Export Wizards BI Manager is a feature of SAS Management Console that provides a common interface for administering SAS BI objects. BI Manager contains an Export Wizard and an Import Wizard that enable you to selectively promote individual BI objects (including stored processes, information maps, reports, data explorations, and folders) from one metadata repository to another. The BI Manager wizards export and import both the content and the metadata for the selected objects. For example, when you export metadata for reports, BI Manager also exports the associated XML (.srx) files. The BI Manager wizards are located in the BI Manager node of SAS Management console. For detailed information, see Chapter 18, “Promoting Individual BI Objects,” on page 169. About the Metadata Manager Import and Export Wizards The Metadata Manager Import and Export Wizards enable you to copy metadata for relational data and DBMSs to and from external sources. You can import and export the following types of metadata objects: DatabaseSchema, PhysicalTable, Column, Column:type, UniqueKey, ForeignKey (and associated KeyAssociation), and Index. This feature is useful when you have created a data model using other data warehousing software, and you want to import it for use with SAS; or when you have created a data model in SAS, and want to export it for use with other data warehousing software. To access this feature, navigate to the Metadata Manager node in SAS Management Console. Expand the Active Server node under Metadata Manager, and then
