Deploying Portlets in SAS 9.2

Posted by Shane Gibson on May 7, 2010 0 comments

The place you put your portlet files to automatically deploy them has changed in SAS 9.2.

In SAS 9.1 (windows) you used to place them here:

<sas-install-dir>\Program Files\SAS\Web\Portal2.0.1\DeployedPortlets

In SAS 92 (Windows) you need to place them here:

<sas-config-dir>\Lev1\Web\Applications\SASPortlets4.2\Deployed



sasInct Development – What should we do next?

Posted by Shane Gibson on March 6, 2009 0 comments

So we have been busy over the last year building a few portlets, check out the list on the main sasInct.com site.

The things we are finishing off at the moment is our Mediawiki extension for dynamically surfacing SAS Metadata in a Wiki.

We are also working on testing everything on SAS 9.2.

After that we are trying to decide if we should extend our portlets further (i,e add more graph options to the Flash Graph portlet) or develop new ones.

Current suggestions for new capability include:

  • A Report Usage auditing capability
  • Sharepoint extension to surface SAS Metadata in Sharepoint
  • A SPM portlet, that extends the current functionality
  • A web based Metadata explorer
  • A Management Console plugin to enable you to migrate Portal Pages across SAS instances

Is there anything else you need built?

Leave us a comment and let us know, you never know, we may just build it.

Ps. It doesnt have to be a portlet, we also DI Studio, SAS Management Console plugins and Enterprise Guide Addins, so if you have an idea shoot it our way!
