|
This paper is from a recognised expert wihtin SAS on all things SAS9 and provides high level recommendations (but with a far bit of detail to)on how to:
- Organise the Metadata Trees

- Promotion and Replicaton
- Metadata Security
- Backup
- Change Control

Abstract
SAS®9
provides several tools to help with metadata administration, but you
must implement internal processes to optimize the usage of these
tools. This paper provides some process best practices for backing up
your repositories and managing changes in the SAS®9 environment and
discusses how you can leverage SAS®9` tools as an integral part of the
process. A brief overview of the road map for future enhancements is
also given.

How Shall we Secure the BI Enterprise |
|
Paper by SAS Users on the approach they took to document and configure the security requirements within the SAS Metadata Server. If you have the enviable task of setting up security for multiple users and content, then read this first.

Abstract
Your company has elected to deploy the SAS® Enterprise BI Server as
their enterprise wide analytical platform. Congratulations! You are the
SAS Administrator. This is a good thing, but there is much more
involved than loading software on a server. You will need to determine
how to make SAS BI work with your company’s security, quality
assurance, and application deployment guidelines. When we started this
journey at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Minnesota (BCBSM), we found a
number of security and operational requirements to consider:
- The system will support both internal & external customer groups with thousands of named users.
- The
system will support separate logical server instances for Development,
Integration testing, Quality Assurance testing and Production.
- The system will support multiple development teams.
- The system will support users of SAS® Web Report Studio, SAS® Enterprise Guide®, and traditional Unix command line SAS.
- The system will support multiple customer groups and customer hierarchies.
- The system will support the control of users by a central security team.
- The system will support code deployment to the Q and P environments by a centralized deployment team.
This paper will cover how BCBSM, categorizes its analytical users into
roles and how we use SAS® 9.1.3 SP4 with SAS® Management Console 9.1,
BI Manager version and SAS® Enterprise Guide 4.1 running on AIX 5.3 SP
3 to meet the security, development and deployment needs of our user
communities.

Implementing CDISC Data Models in the SAS Metadata Server |
|
Michael Kilhullen, PharmaSUG 2007, Paper sa04
The SAS metadata server is a core component of all SAS 9 solutions. It delivers the power to integrate, share, centrally manage and leverage metadata across entire organizations. Through these capabilities, standard data models such as the CDISC Study Data Tabulation Model (SDTM) can be deployed and leveraged by all users in your organization without the need for developing additional metadata libraries or programs. In this paper, we examine the
value that the SAS® Open Metadata Architecture can bring to your organization, how the SDTM data model is implemented in the metadata server, and how the metadata can be leveraged by SAS products and solutions such as SAS® Data Integration Studio.
