Starting SAS Data Integration Studio Start SAS Data Integration Studio as you would any other SAS application on a given platform. For example, under Microsoft Windows, you can select Start Programs SAS SAS Data Integration Studio. You can also start the application from a command line. Navigate to the SAS Data Integration Studio installation directory and issue the etlstudio.exe command. If you do not specify any options, SAS Data Integration Studio uses the parameters specified in the etlstudio.ini file. The following sections contain information on options you can specify on the command line or add to the etlstudio.ini file. Specifying Java Options To specify Java options when you start SAS Data Integration Studio, use the javaopts option and enclose the Java options in single quotation marks. For example, the following command starts SAS Data Integration Studio on Windows and contains Java options that specify the locale as Japanese: etlstudio javaopts ’-Duser.language=ja -Duser.country=JP’ Specifying the Plug-in Location By default, SAS Data Integration Studio looks for plug-ins in a plugins directory under the directory in which the application was installed. If you are starting SAS Data Integration Studio from another location, you must specify the location of the plug-in directory by using the pluginsDir option. The syntax of the option is etlstudio pluginsdir <plugin path> 94 Creating a Metadata Profile (for Users) Chapter 7 Specifying the Error Log Location SAS Data Integration Studio writes error information to a file named errorlog.txt in the working directory. Because each SAS Data Integration Studio session overwrites this log, you might want to specify a different name or location for the log file. Use the following option to change the error logging location: etlstudio logfile ’<filepath/filename>’ Specifying Message Logging You can specify the server status messages that are encountered in a SAS Data Integration Studio session by using the MessageLevel level_value option. Valid values for level_value include the following: ALL all messages are logged CONFIG static configuration messages are logged FINE basic tracing information is logged FINER more detailed tracing information is logged FINEST highly detailed tracing information is logged. Specify this option to debug problems with SAS server connections. INFO informational messages are logged OFF no messages are logged SEVERE messages indicating a severe failure are logged WARNING messages indicating a potential problem are logged Creating a Metadata Profile (for Users) A metadata profile is a client-side definition of where the metadata server is located. The definition includes a machine name, a port number, and one or more metadata repositories. In addition, the metadata profile can contain log on information and instructions for connecting to the metadata server automatically. You must open a metadata profile before you can do any work in SAS Data Integration Studio. This section describes how a user could create a metadata profile for the example data warehouse. Preparation After an administrator has created one or more metadata repositories, the administrator provides the SAS Data Integration Studio user with the following information: the network name of the metadata server the port number used by the metadata server a login ID and password for that server the name of the repository that should be selected as the default metadata repository for this profile . page 53, you must perform several tasks before you can begin work in SAS Data Integration Studio. Starting SAS Data Integration Studio Start SAS Data Integration Studio as you would any other SAS.
