Purpose of This Manual
This manual explains how to use SAS Data Integration Studio to do the following
tasks:
specify metadata for data sources, such as tables in an operational system
specify metadata for data targets, such as tables in a data warehouse
create jobs that specify how data is extracted, transformed, and loaded from
sources to targets
This manual also summarizes how to set up servers, libraries, and other resources
that SAS Data Integration Studio requires. A data warehouse for a fictional company,
Orion Star Sports & Outdoors, is used to illustrate these tasks.
Intended Audience for This Manual
This manual is intended for people who assume the following roles:
SAS Data Integration Studio user—a person who uses SAS Data Integration
Studio software to consolidate and manage enterprise data from a variety of
source systems, applications, and technologies.
SAS Data Integration Studio metadata administrator—a person who uses SAS
Management Console software to maintain the metadata for servers, users, and
other global resources that are required by SAS Data Integration Studio.
This manual is not intended for server administrators—people who install and
maintain server hardware or software. However, some SAS Data Integration Studio
tasks depend on tasks that the server administrator performs. A common scenario for
SAS Data Integration Studio projects is as follows:
A server administrator installs and starts servers. For details about maintaining
these servers, administrators should see the documentation that came with the
servers. See also the servers sections in the administering SAS Data Integration
Studio chapter and the connecting to common data sources chapter in the
SAS
Intelligence Platform: Administration Guide
