7.11 SAS connections

Connections to SAS do not use Connection Server. They use an adapted JDBC connector to

SAS/SHARE data sets.

To configure these connections, you need to install the compatible JDBC driver.

For more information about configuring SAS connectors, refer to the

Data Federation Administration

Tool Guide

7.11.1 Installing drivers for SAS connections

In order to use a SAS connector, you must install a driver that lets the data federation query engine

connect to a SAS/SHARE server.

A SAS/SHARE server is a server that allows you to connect to SAS data sets. For more information

about SAS/SHARE, see the SAS website.

The directory where you should copy the SAS JDBC driver jars on the machine where you installed the

BI platform is boe-install-dir/java/pjs/services/DataFederatorService/re

sources/drivers/sas.

You must create the drivers/sas directories under the resources directory.

Note:

For details on supported versions of SAS, see the Supported Platforms document for the SAP

BusinessObjects Business Intelligence platform on the Support Portal.
