Metadata Promotion in SAS 9.2

Overview

Promotion of metadata content is typically used to support movement across Development, Test, and Production environments. In SAS 9.1.3, the paper provided tools for full repository promotion and partial promotion. In SAS 9.2, these tools have been enhanced to streamline functionality and provide batch interfaces. SAS Management Console will continue to provide interfaces for full repository replication and partial promotion via the export/import framework that exists in SAS 9.1.3 with the BI Manager plug-in. In SAS 9.2, the authors have implemented a batch interface for the partial promotion framework that will allow one to create a schedulable and repeatable process for moving a set of metadata content across ones environments.
