Hi to all

Please, can anyone tell me in simplest words what's the SAS Table Server SASTS and what is it for?

Which desktop client application I use it with? SAS Data Integration Studio? or SAS Enterprise Guide?

thanks in advance

To my knowledge, there is no such thing. A google search for "SASTS" reveals only things that have nothing to do with IT, especially not data warehousing.

I guess you mean something different. If you can describe what it is supposed to do, we might find the correct name or acronym.

Sorry, but probably the acronym is wrong, you are right!

However, I found it in the documentation about SAS Table Server.

Following an image about SASTS table Server in the SAS Management Console.

What I want know is what's the table server and what is it for?

How to I know if my DIS ETL processes are using it?

thanks in advance

I think SAS Table Server was before my time.

Here's the documentation on it:
http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/blind/TableServer/tsag.pdf

Looks like it was used as a single entry point for multiple data sources, so SAS goes to SAS Table Server which then surfaces SAS data sources or third-party like Oracle or DB2.

The fact that the only real documentation available is for 9.2 seems to tell us something ...

Yes, this appears to have been replaced by the SAS Federation Server:
