Business Intelligence - Data Warehousing White Papers

Understanding SAS/Warehouse Administrator

Tags:
business intelligence - data warehousing,
warehouse,
administrator,
code

Overview Some firms have looked at SAS/Warehouse Administrator and decided to continue developing applications in the traditional way. Why? Reasons include high investment cost, difficulty of incorporating legacy code, and the awkwardness of using terminal emulators when running SAS/Warehouse Administrator on a server located in a "Glass room" or other remote location. However, if one can overcome these objections and let SAS/Warehouse Administrator write the required SAS code, the advantages of metadata take over. This paper illustrates how a data mart is modeled in SAS/Warehouse Administrator, drawing upon a prototype that the author recently created.
