SAS® Integration Technologies: Administrator's Guide (LDAP Version)

Creating a Stored Process Object
To enable a stored process to be invoked in an application, you can use IT Administrator to create metadata that
defines the name of the stored process and provides information about associated parameters. For general instructions
on using IT Administrator, see Using IT Administrator.
To create a new stored process object using IT Administrator:
1. Open IT Administrator.
2. Select Applications in the Manager Bar.
3. Select the Stored Process Paths folder in the tree view.
4. Select the node representing the stored process path for the new stored process. If the path is a folder, open the
folder and select any stored process node beneath the folder.
5. If you are creating the first stored process under the selected stored process path, you must select File New
Stored Process in order to create the process. Otherwise, click the New button (
). The New Stored
Process window appears requesting property information for the new stored process.
6. Enter the name and description of the process. This information identifies the process in the directory. In the
SAS Stored Process section, enter the following
