Job Properties Window

Use the properties window for a job to view or update its basic metadata. For
example, you can specify whether the code for the current job will be generated by SAS
Data Integration Studio or will be retrieved from a specified location. You can also use
this window to specify code that should be run before or after a job executes. The
following display shows a typical window.

Display 3.3 Job Properties Window

If you want to specify user-written code for the Sort Staff job that is described in
“Process Flows and Jobs” on page 6, you can enter metadata that is similar to the
metadata that is shown in the previous display. In the job properties window shown in
the previous display, the User written option has been selected, and the physical path
to a source code file has been specified.
If you wanted to execute code before or after the Sort Staff job is executed, you can
click the Pre and Post Process tab and specify the code. For example, you might
want to issue a SAS LIBNAME statement before the job is run.
For a summary of how to use the job properties window, see “Updating Metadata for
Jobs” on page 105 and “Viewing Metadata for Jobs” on page 111.

Open a Metadata Profile Window

A metadata profile is a client-side definition of where a metadata server is located.
The definition includes a host name, a port number, and a list of one or more metadata
repositories. In addition, the metadata profile can contain a user's login information and
instructions for connecting to the metadata server either automatically or manually.
