SAS Metadata Server
is a multiuser server that surfaces metadata from one or more repositories
to SAS Open Metadata Interface client applications by means of the
SAS Open Metadata Architecture. This architecture is a general-purpose
metadata management facility that provides common metadata services
for applications.

SAS RFC Server is needed
in z/OS operating environments only. It is a component of SAS/ACCESS
Interface to R/3 that provides access to the data in SAP systems.
SAS RFC Server also supports calling advanced business applications
programming (ABAP) RFC functions. SAS RFC Server uses the TCP/IP protocol
for communication with your SAP system.

SAS/ACCESS Interface
to R/3
|
SAS RFC Server is a
component of SAS/ACCESS Interface to R/3. For more information about SAS RFC Server, see About the SAS RFC Server.

|
SAP users identify users
who have the appropriate privileges to log on to the SAP system and
access SAP data and metadata.
|
|
SAS user profiles are
stored on the SAS Metadata Server. For more information about defining
users, see the User Manager Help in SAS Management Console.

This server lets you
connect to a SAS session that is running on a host machine.
|
SAS Intelligence Platform
|
SAS application server
identifies local or remote installation of SAS by providing a connection
to the host machine.
|
|
The SAP server identifies
the version of SAP software that you are using.
|
|
The SAS application
server uses SAS/ACCESS Interface to R/3 to communicate with the SAP
system and access your SAP data.
|
|
The SAP system library
identifies the SAS engine to use to connect to and to read data and
metadata from your SAP system.
|
SAS application server
and SAP server
|
The SAS application
server uses the SAP server to access and read your SAP data. When
you extract SAP metadata, the SAP server and SAS use the SAP system
library to establish a connection to your SAP system.
|
|
The SAP metadata library
is a Base SAS library that contains SAP metadata extracted from your
SAP system. The library also identifies the location in which to store
the SAP metadata.
|
SAS application server,
SAP server, and SAP system library
|
The SAS application
server uses the SAP server and SAP system library to access and read
your SAP data. When you extract metadata, the SAS application server
extracts SAP metadata and stores the metadata as SAS data sets in
the SAP metadata library.
|
|
The BW Star library
is a Base SAS library. It identifies the location for storing data
that you load from your SAP BW system. Data that is loaded is converted
from the SAP BW snowflake schema to a star schema.
|
SAS application server,
SAP server, and SAP system library
|
The SAS application
server uses the SAP server and SAP system library to access and read
your SAP data. When you specify the source SAP data to use, the SAS
application server creates a job that loads data from the SAP BW InfoCube
or ODS object into the BW Star library.
