SAS Data Integration Studio P21:This manual is a companion to the online Help for SAS Data Integration Studio. The Help describes all windows in SAS Data Integration Studio, and it summarizes the main tasks that you can perform with the software. The Help includes examples for all source designer wizards, all target designer wizards, and all transformation templates in the Process Library tree. | Main Tasks for Users A Opening a Metadata Profile 95 Default Metadata Repository When you create a metadata profile you specify a default metadata repository for that profile. Typically the administrator who creates metadata repositories simply tells SAS Data Integration Studio users which repository to select as the default. As a user however you might want to be aware of the effect that the default repository has on your work in SAS Data Integration Studio. The effect depends on whether you are working with change-managed metadata repositories. If you are working with change-managed repositories the default metadata repository must be a project repository that you own. You will use the project repository to check metadata out of and into the repository that is under change management. For the example data warehouse the main metadata repository Foundation is under change-management control. Each user will use his own project repository to check metadata out of and into the foundation repository. If you are not working with change-managed repositories you can update objects in any metadata repository that is visible in the tree view on the SAS Data Integration Studio desktop but you can add new objects to the default metadata repository only. If you try to add an object to a repository other than the default repository the new object will be added to the default repository.
