In addition to the metadata that is described in the
previous topic, SAS IT Resource Management also supplies other metadata.
This supplied metadata consists of IT template tables for the supported
adapters, IT formulas, and IT report definitions. The installation
process for SAS IT Resource Management stores the metadata in the
Folders tree.
-
The
SAS IT Resource
Management
folder of the
Products
folder
contains the metadata for the IT template tables of the supported
adapters and the IT formulas. This metadata cannot be changed.
-
The
SAS IT Resource
Management
folder of the
Shared Data
folder
contains the metadata for the 3.3 IT report definitions, IT data marts,
and the IT formulas. This metadata can be changed, although changing
the IT report definitions is not recommended. (If you need to change
an IT report definition, copy it first and change the copy, not the
supplied definition.)
CAUTION:
Do not
make changes to the original IT report definitions in the Shared Data
folder.
For information about
how to modify IT report definitions, see “Working with SAS
Enterprise Guide Reports” in the
SAS IT Resource
Management: Reporting Guide.
-
The
ITRM Transformations
folder
of the
Transformations tree contains the
aggregation, gallery, information map, staging, and user-written staging
transformations. These transformations can be dragged and dropped
onto the process flow diagram of a job and further specified as needed.
Note: SAS IT Resource Management
also uses folders, jobs, libraries, staged tables, aggregation table,
and information maps. These objects are created by transformations
that the user specifies (either directly or by means of the
Adapter
Setup wizard), the jobs that the user creates and runs,
or by wizards (such as the New Folder, New IT Data Mart, or New Job
wizards) that are invoked from the SAS IT Resource Management menu
bar.
