Before you create a catalog source, ensure that you have the information required to connect to the source system.
Perform the following tasks:
•Assign the required permissions to access the SAS Base Programs script files.
•Save the SAS Base Programs script files on the runtime environment from which you want to extract metadata.
•Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment.
Verify permissions
To extract metadata and to configure other capabilities that a catalog source might include, you need account access and permissions on the source system. The permissions required might vary depending on the capability.
Permissions for metadata extraction
To extract SAS Base Programs metadata, you need account access and permissions to the SAS Base Programs script files stored locally.
Verify that the administrator has the read permission to access the folder containing SAS Base Programs script files.
Get SAS Base Programs (Accelerator) source information
Before you configure the catalog source, ask the SAS Base Programs (Accelerator) administrator for values of connection properties that you need to configure the catalog source.
Note: You don't need to create a connection object in Administrator. You provide connection information when you configure the catalog source.
Create endpoint catalog sources for connection assignment
An endpoint catalog source represents a source system that the catalog source references. Before you perform connection assignment, create endpoint catalog sources and run the catalog source jobs.
You can then perform connection assignment to reference source systems and run connection-aware scans to view complete lineage with source system objects.
