Answer / praveen kumar

SAS Information Map Studio is the Component where we can create the Information Maps using Tables and as well Cubes.
It acts like a middle layer for SAS Web Report Studio /SAS OLAP Viewer and SAS BI Dashboard.

If i want to Create a Report in SAS Web Report Studio i have to Create a Information Map and there i select my required dimensions and measures aswell filters.

After that i will login into my Web Report studio and there i will create my Report using this info map.


Still any doubts feel free to drop a message....

Answer / venu murala

SAS Information Maps provides the bridge between your data warehouse and the business users who build reports and analyses from that data.

SAS InfoMap is used to subset the data and where we can apply Filters (Simple, Compound & Identity Driven Filters), Prompts (Static & Dynamic).

The SAS AMO, EG, WRS, Dashboard and IDP read the InfoMap metadata to provide a business user view of the data for reporting and analysis.

The SAS Metadata Server manages the metadata and provides Row-Level-Security.
