mm_createapplication.sas File Reference

Create an Application object in a metadata folder. More...

Go to the source code of this file.

Detailed Description

Application objects are useful for storing properties in metadata. This macro is idempotent - it will not create an object with the same name in the same location, twice.

usage:

%mm_createapplication(tree=/User Folders/sasdemo
  ,name=MyApp
  ,classidentifier=myAppSeries
  ,params= name1=value1
name2=value2
emptyvalue=
)

Warning

application components do not get deleted when removing the container folder! be sure you have the administrative priviliges to remove this kind of metadata from the SMC plugin (or be ready to do to so programmatically).

SAS Macros

Parameters

[in]	tree=	The metadata folder uri, or the metadata path, in which to create the object. This must exist.
[in]	name=	Application object name. Avoid spaces.
[in]	ClassIdentifier=	The class of applications to which this app belongs
[in]	params=	name=value pairs which will become public properties of the application object. These are delimited using

[in]	version=	version number of application
