The SAS Metadata
Server uses a unique identifier for every metadata object. The 17-character
identifier consists of two parts, separated by a period. It is often
represented in documentation as
reposid.
objectid. An example is
A52V87R9.A9000001.
-
The first eight characters (
A52V87R9 in the example) identify the SAS Metadata
Repository in which the object is stored.
-
The ninth character is always a
period.
-
The second set of eight characters
(
A9000001 in the example) identifies
the object in the repository.
