Extracting Metadata info using SAS Code

Vimal08 — Tue, 01 Feb 2022 13:27:15 GMT

Hi,

I wanted to extract metadata info from SMC using SAS code. The info which I was trying to extract are listed below:

1) Number or list of Info Maps, OLAP cubes, VA reports, Stored Process, VDB, DI jobs and other components which are present in the environment.

2) Information of dependent objects for above components such as SAS datasets, libraries etc.

3) Creation date of each artifacts.

Your help is highly appreciated.

Extracting this kind of detailed metadata informaiton via programming is kinda of tedious work. For som of it, you already have UI:s that supports browsing for thsi information? What is the purpose?

I think you can get parts of by using the SAS 9 Content Assessment tool.
