Chapter 5: Setup Tasks for Administrators

---

Overview of Installation and Setup

Administrators must complete a number of installation and setup tasks before users (ETL specialists) can begin work in SAS ETL Studio. This chapter describes the main installation and setup tasks, and it identifies documentation that describes these tasks in detail.

Note

Many of the steps that are described in this chapter can be automated if you use the SAS Software Navigator to install SAS ETL Studio and related software.

For example, after you have created a metadata repository, the SAS Configuration Wizard in the SAS Software Navigator enables you to run scripts that will automatically add metadata for servers, users, and other resources. The SAS Software Navigator also generates setup instructions that are customized for your site.
