We currently have separate SAS environments each with their own metadata server:
Both of these have been used my separate groups inside our organization and recently they have become interested in sharing some of the metadata tables residing in Environment B with Environment A to be used in Visual Analytics.
Is there any way to share this data besides manually exporting and importing into the other environment? Ideally we'll probably look into combining the environments but are looking for options in the short term.
DI jobs always create physical tables - a metadata table is merely a description (data dictionary) of what is in the physical table. The actual data is always in the physical table.
What about the physical SAS tables that your metadata definitions describe? Are these being shared too? It would not make a lot of sense to share metadata definitions if they referred to non-shared SAS tables.
These are tables created by DI jobs and I don't think it's actually creating physcial tables on the server's hard drive based on what I've read(?). Please correct me if I am wrong.

The SAS Users Group for Administrators (SUGA) is open to all SAS administrators and architects who install, update, manage or maintain a SAS deployment.
SAS technical trainer Erin Winters shows you how to explore assets, create new data discovery agents, schedule data discovery agents, and much more.
