first time use DI studio:connection problem

[Mike_Davis]

After first time open DI studio, a pop up menu show:

please specify a name for your metadata profile:

Name: My server,

Please enter the information necessary to establish a connection:

machine:

port:

userid:

password"

That mean I need to connect to the metadata server first before use DI studio.

My question is the metadata server should be started on the same machine with DI studio or any remote metadata server will be fine?

Please advise .

Thanks!

Mike

DI Studio is the client. The servers can be on the same or different machines. Same story as for other clients like SAS EG.

If a remote metadata server has already been started ,the machine name is my_pc ,port is 8651, how to connect that remote server use DI studio?

Thanks

It's all documented: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etlug/63360/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0kvnite8j3kikn1lcbs...

You will need a valid SAS Metadata User and Password.

And this link gives you a list of Admin tasks and where you will find them documented: http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/etlug/63360/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n0a1xzsuqksz2pn1pgu4...

Thank you Patrick.

If  I have two computers,one runs metadata server ,how can I connect the server from another computer? do I need the IP address of the server?

Thank you!

The server name would be better (as IP addresses can change) but the IP address will work.

Thank you Patrick,

If I installed and start a metadata server in my computer,the server's name was setup automaticaly be default , how to find this server's name?

Thanks
