Properties
The following table lists all of the properties for WHDW and indicates how you can use each property with metadata API methods
In the table, you can pass properties with a Yes in the Add column to the
_ADD_METADATA_ method Use this method to add a new object
You can pass properties with a Yes in the Update column to the
_UPDATE_METADATA_ method Use this method to update properties of an existing object
* Req indicates that the property is required; you must provide a value for this property when you use a given method * Default indicates that the system will provide
a default value for that property if you do not provide one
Properties with a Yes in the Read Method Expand Parm column are valid with the expand parameter of the _GET_METADATA_ method This method enables you to get
detailed metadata about a property and its associated objects through a single method call

New properties for WHDW are as follows:
JOB INFO LIBRARY
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the job information library that is associated with this repository The job information library is the location where job status information is stored for scheduled jobs
LIBRARY
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the SAS library that contains the metadata for this data warehouse See the metadata type WHLIBRY for the format of this list
PROCESS GROUPS
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the process groups to which this object belongs
PROCESS MEMBERS
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the process members that belong to this object The list must be of type WHGRPJOB, WHJOB,
WHEVENT
Using WHDW
WHDW is used with the _SET_SECONDARY_REPOSITORY_ method to access the metadata for a particular data warehouse To set a secondary repository, you must pass
one of these two properties in the l_meta list for the
_SET_SECONDARY_REPOSITORY_ method:
ID
represents the metadata identifier of the secondary repository
LIBRARY
allows the stored metadata information to be overridden with the optional
information that is specified here
For details, see “_SET_SECONDARY_REPOSITORY_” on page 43
WHDW is an independent type, like all subtypes of WHOBJECT To understand how all subtypes of WHOBJECT relate to other types, see the general information model in
“Relationships Among Metadata Types” on page 53

Metadata type for warehouse environments

“WHOBJECT” on page 182
Overview
WHDWENV models the metadata for warehouse environments in SAS/Warehouse
Administrator An environment is a grouping element for warehouses and ODD groups.
It is a directory that stores metadata, such as host definitions, that is shared among one or more warehouses and ODD groups
In the SAS/Warehouse Administrator desktop folder, environments are displayed as icons In the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Explorer, the environment that you selected from the desktop folder is the top-most object To add an environment to the SAS/Warehouse Administrator desktop interface:
1 Click in a clear area with the right mouse button
2 Select Add Item Data Warehouse Environment
3 Enter the environment information
Properties

In the table, you can pass properties with a Yes in the Add column to the

New properties for WHDWENV are as follows:
ACTIVE REPOSITORIES
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the currently active secondary metadata repositories in this environment
JOB INFO LIBRARY
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the job information library that is associated with this repository The job information library is the location where job status information is stored for scheduled jobs
LIBRARY

REPOSITORIES
specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the metadata
repositories in this environment

Using WHDWENV
WHDWENV is an independent type, like all subtypes of WHOBJECT To understand how all subtypes of WHOBJECT relate to other types, see the general information model in “Relationships Among Metadata Types” on page 53
WHDWENV is used with the _SET_PRIMARY_REPOSITORY_ method to access the metadata for a warehouse environment For details, see
“_SET_PRIMARY_REPOSITORY_” on page 40
WHDYNLIB
Metadata type for dynamic SAS libraries
Category: SAS Library Types
Parent
“WHLIBRY” on page 175
Overview
WHDYNLIB models the metadata for dynamic SAS libraries in SAS/Warehouse Administrator This metadata type corresponds to the default, temporary working directories that are identified on the Output Data tab of the properties window for data mappings, user exits, record selectors, and data transfers
For example, here is how to display the Output Data tab for a user exit process in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator interface:
1 In the Explorer, select a table with the right mouse button
2 Select Process from the pop-up menu.
3 In the Process Editor, select the table with the right mouse button
4 Select Add User Exit
5 Enter the user exit information, until you come to the Output Data tab
By default, the fields on the Output Data tab will display a temporary working directory for user exit output
Properties
WHDYNLIB has the same properties as “WHLIBRY” on page 175 Unlike WHLIBRY properties, however, WHDYNLIB properties cannot be written through the metadata API They can only be read
