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.
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.
Export SAS Base Programs script files
Before you configure the catalog source, you need to export SAS Base Programs script files for metadata extraction from the SAS environment.
Copy the SAS Base Programs script files to the machine where the Secure Agent is installed. When you configure the catalog source, you specify the path to the directory that contains the exported script files for metadata extraction.
