PROCESS GROUPS specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the process groups to which this object belongs This list must be of type WHDW, WHDWENV,
WHGRPJOB, or a subtype of those A process object cannot be a member of more than one PROCESS GROUP At least one group is required
PROCESS MEMBERS specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the process members that belong to this object
Using WHPOBJCT
WHPOBJCT is an independent type WHPOBJCT is not used to read or write metadata in a repository

Base metadata type for table load processes Category: Process Types—Load

Overview
WHPRCLDR is the base metadata type for table load processes in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Process Editor
Properties
The following table lists all of the properties for WHPRCLDR 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

Extended Attributes
WHPRCLDR has the following new property:
LOAD OPTIONS specifies an SCL list of options for the specified load process The options are as follows:
3 GENERATION LEVEL (1.1 or 2.0) selects the release level of the code that
SAS/Warehouse Administrator will generate for the specified load process Each level has specific options that it can support, as well as other
characteristics
3 LOAD TIME COLUMN (YES or NO) indicates whether a Load Time column
will be added to the table that is being loaded by the specified process
Note: See Property Dependencies
3 DROP INDEXES (YES or NO) specifies that you should drop (remove) any
existing indexes on the table to be loaded before you load the data into the table Based on the metadata definitions, the appropriate indexes will be recreated after loading the data This option is useful when updating the indexes during loading is too slow
3 TRUNCATE TABLE (YES or NO) specifies that when you refresh the data in a
table, the table should be truncated (all data rows are removed but the table
is not) instead of completely dropping the table and recreating it from scratch This option is useful when the table has many options, privileges, and other characteristics that are defined in the database
Trang 3SAS/Warehouse Administrator Metadata Types WHPRCMAN 209
3 UNION MULTIPLE INPUTS (YES or NO) specifies that any multiple inputs to
the current load process will be unioned together before you load the table A
union is identical to a SET statement in a SAS data step that contains
multiple input table designations
In the SAS/Warehouse Administrator interface, LOAD OPTIONS are specified
on the Load Options tab of the Load process attributes window for a given data store Here are some example return values for a data store whose Load process attributes window includes a Load Options tab:
LOAD OPTIONS=( GENERATION LEVEL=’2.0’
LOAD TIME COLUMN=’NO’
UNION MULTIPLE INPUTS=’YES’
DROP INDEXES=’NO’
TRUNCATE TABLE=’NO’
)
Property Dependencies Subtypes of WHPRCLDR enable you to add or update the LOAD OPTIONS property When you add or update the LOAD OPTIONS property, if
the value of the LOAD TIME COLUMN item is YES, then a valid load time column
must exist for the table that is associated with this load process to avoid errors when processing the SOURCE CODE and STEP SOURCE CODE properties You can add a load time column to a table as described in the documentation for the WHCOLTIM type
Using WHPRCLDR
WHPRCLDR is a dependent type To understand how all subtypes of WHPROCES relate to other types, see the process models in “Relationships Among Metadata Types”

Overview
WHPRCMAN is one of the base types for main processes in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Process Editor It is the parent of WHPRCLDR, the base type for all load process metadata

New properties for WHPRCMAN are as follows:
OUTPUT TABLES specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the output tables of this process All WHPRCMAN processes will have at least one output table that is associated with them (a WHTABLE subtype)
SOURCE CODE specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about the source code for this process This source code is the same as is seen when you select
View Code All
in the SAS/Warehouse Administrator Process Editor
The source code information that is returned here will be that of a temporary, working location of a copy of the source code and might be different for each request for this information
SOURCE FILE specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about any user-registered code for a process This list must be of type WHSRCCAT or a subtype of
WHSRCCAT WHJOBCAT or any subtype of WHJOBCAT will be rejected, however For process steps that consist of user-written code, this property returns the registered source code location For process steps that consist of code that is generated by SAS/Warehouse Administrator, this property will return an empty list
SUBPROCESSES specifies an SCL list of general identifying information about any subprocesses that might be registered for this process This list must be of type WHPRCSPR or
a subtype of WHPRCSPR
