Hello,

 

How Metadata server reads information from omaconfig.xml file at startup ? How the file omaconfig.xml file is called ?

 

As in Linux, to start metadata server we start the MetadataServer.sh script . MetadataServer script points to SASMeta/MetadataServer/sasv9.cfg  file which again points to SASFoundation/sasv9.cfg file and it points to SASFoundation/nls/en/sasv9.cfg. Where the omaconfig.xml file is mentioned  and how it is being called ?

 

Regards,

Sriram Sahani

@sriramsahani,

 

The filename omaconfig.xml is hardcoded. That file will be opened during startup of the metadata server using proprietary code.

Hi,

 

Thanks Alex for the reply. I want to know what is that particular code name and the location where the omaconfig.xml file is called .

 

Could you please clarify on that ?

It's in the compiled machine code of the SAS executable, so nowhere where you can access it without violating the SAS license (which forbids re-engineering).

Exactly as @alexal and @Kurt_Bremser advised:

our omaconfig.xml file might include an option that activates a SAS Metadata Server or repository manager feature that is needed by a particular SAS application. When this is the case, do not remove the option or change its setting unless you are instructed to do so by SAS Technical Support.
