Using JMP I can connect to the SAS server. See attached image.
How do I connect to the same server from Base SAS 9.2 and access the files in the server?
options metaserver=localhost metaport=8561 metauser="sasdemo" metapass='XXX' metarepository=Foundation;
The line you have will connect you to the metadata server just like JMP. Accessing files from Base SAS would require a drive to be mapped to your compute tier or filesever where your programs reside. If you have access to EG you can use EG to access files on a remote system.
My company has provided me with SAS Metadata Server username/password and EG to connect to. But I don't want to use EG. I can connect to this server from JMP.
I am using SAS 9.2. How do I connect to the server from SAS 9.2?
