Run the SAS Connector Externally

In this section, we provide guides and references to use the SAS connector.

Configure and schedule SAS metadata workflows from the OpenMetadata UI:

• Requirements
• Metadata Ingestion

Requirements

{%inlineCallout icon="description" bold="OpenMetadata 1.3.0 or later" href="/deployment"%} To deploy OpenMetadata, check the Deployment guides. {%/inlineCallout%}

Python Requirements

To run the SAS ingestion, you will need to install:

pip3 install "openmetadata-ingestion[sas]"

Metadata Ingestion

All connectors are defined as JSON Schemas. Here you can find the structure to create a connection to SAS.

In order to create and run a Metadata Ingestion workflow, we will follow the steps to create a YAML configuration able to connect to the source, process the Entities if needed, and reach the OpenMetadata server.

The workflow is modeled around the following JSON Schema

1. Define the YAML Config

{% codePreview %}

{% codeInfoContainer %}

Source Configuration - Service Connection

{% codeInfo srNumber=12 %}

serverHost: Host and port of the SAS Viya deployment.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=13 %}

username: Username to connect to SAS Viya. This user should have privileges to read all the metadata in SAS Information Catalog.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% codeInfo srNumber=14 %}

password: Password to connect to SAS Viya.

{% /codeInfo %}

Sink Configuration

{% codeInfo srNumber=18 %}

To send the metadata to OpenMetadata, it needs to be specified as type: metadata-rest.

{% /codeInfo %}

{% partial file="/v1.2/connectors/yaml/workflow-config-def.md" /%} {% /codeInfoContainer %}

{% codeBlock fileName="filename.yaml" %}

source:
  type: SAS
  serviceName: local_sas
  serviceConnection:
    config:
      type: SAS

      serverHost: http://localhost:10000

      username: username

      password: password

sourceConfig: config: type: DatabaseMetadata

```yaml {% srNumber=18 %}
sink:
  type: metadata-rest
  config: {}
