Appendix 2: Building Java Plug-ins for SAS ETL Studio

 < Day Day Up > 



Overview

SAS ETL Studio plug-ins are Java files that provide specific functions by creating specific types of metadata. For example, as described in "Java Transformations and SAS Code Transformations" on page 109, a number of the transformation templates in the Process Library are Java plug-ins, such as the SAS Sort template and the Create Match Code template.

Several plug-ins are installed by default, and other plug-ins are available from SAS to provide specialized functions. You can also develop your own plug-in transformation templates, source designer wizards, target designer wizards, and new object wizards.

To develop Java plug-ins, you should be familiar with the following:

  • Java plug-in software. For details about this software, see the following location: http://java.sun.com/products/plugin

  • SAS Management Console plug-ins, which are similar to the plug-ins for SAS ETL Studio. See the Guide to Building SAS Management Console Plug-Ins, which is provided on the SAS Management Console installation CD.

  • SAS Metadata Model. For details, see SAS Open Metadata Architecture: Reference, which is available on the SAS Online Doc CD and in SAS Help and Documentation.

  • The SAS ETL Studio Plug-In Framework. For details about this framework, see the SAS BI Package Libraries at http://support.sas.com/rnd/gendoc/bi/api/
