Administering the SAS Metadata Server Log and Audit Trail R Capture XML Information in the SAS Metadata Server Log 71
R
trustsaspeer=’MetadataServer\trustedPeers.xml’"
2 In the list of object server parameters (the string that follows
-objectserverparms), add one of the following options:
APPLEVEL=2 enables IOM server logging with the default log entries, and also
logs authentication requests by clients.
APPLEVEL=3 enables IOM server logging with all of the information provided
at APPLEVEL=2, and also logs requests by unregistered user IDs
that are mapped as PUBLIC. You can use information about these
user IDs to identify candidates for registration.
3 Save your changes to sasv9_MetadataServer.cfg.
4 Restart the metadata server.
The APPLEVEL=2 option provides log entries similar to the following example:
2003063:17.10.15.12: 00000032: 4:GOODSERVER@DOMAIN: Credential obtained for
SMTTST1@DOMAIN.
2003063:17.11.13.14: 00000093: 4:GOODSERVER@DOMAIN: Credential freed for
SMTTST1@DOMAIN.
2003063:17.50.16.48: 00000032: 4:ROGUESERVER@DOMAIN: Not trusted to obtain
Credential for SMTTST4@DOMAIN.
2003063:18.01.10.41: 00000093: 4:ROGUESERVER@DOMAIN: Not trusted to free
Credential for SMTTST2@DOMAIN.
Note:
3 Omitting the APPLEVEL option from the SAS Metadata Server start command
has no effect on server logging. Authentication events will not be logged, but
logging that is invoked by other log parameters will continue uninterrupted.
3 The default value of APPLEVEL, if omitted, is APPLEVEL=1. The only other
supported option (APPLEVEL=0) disables server logging. Do not specify
APPLEVEL=0.
Capture XML Information in the SAS Metadata Server Log
About Capturing XML Information
When clients communicate with the SAS Metadata Server to create, update, delete,
or query a metadata object, information about metadata objects is represented in XML.
The metadata server also uses XML entries to return information about metadata
objects to clients. You can choose to capture these XML entries in the metadata server
log.
For example, to add a metadata object to a repository, clients use the AddMetadata
method of the SAS Open Metadata Interface. One of the parameters for this method is
an XML description of the object to be added. For example, if the client is requesting
that a table object be added, then the request includes an XML description of the table,
as shown in this example:
"";
The metadata server returns an XML string that includes the input description as well
as the object ID of the new metadata object.

Interface: Reference. R
