Overview of DataFlux Software

DataFlux Data Management Studio and Server

DataFlux Data Management Servers provide a scalable server environment for your jobs, profiles, and real-time services. After you upload your jobs and real-time services to the server, authorized users across your enterprise execute them.

In a production environment, you typically run test jobs and small jobs on the DataFlux Data Management Studio host. You upload larger jobs to a DataFlux Data Management Server. The DataFlux Data Management Server provides a scalable server environment for large Data Management Studio jobs. Jobs are uploaded from Data Management Studio to a Data Management Server, where the jobs are executed. For more information, see Data Management Servers Riser Bar.

Authorization Server

  • In a production environment, you are typically prompted to enter a user name and password before you can connect to a DataFlux Data Management Server. This happens because the server has been configured for authorization. A SAS Metadata Server is used as the authorization server. For more information, see Log On to DataFlux Data Management Studio.
  • SAS Quality Knowledge Bases 

    A Quality Knowledge Base (QKB) is a collection of files that store data and logic that define data management operations. SAS software products reference a QKB when performing these operations on your data.

    You can use definitions in a QKB as delivered, or you can use DataFlux Data Management Studio to customize the QKB by modifying definitions or creating new definitions for use with your own business data. Since a QKB is used by DataFlux Data Management Studio, SAS Data Quality Server, and the SAS Data Quality Accelerators, QKB customizations are automatically available to your entire enterprise. For more information, see Managing Quality Knowledge Bases.

    DataFlux Web Studio

    DataFlux Web Studio is a web interface for some features in DataFlux Data Management Studio. DataFlux Web Studio is no longer available with SAS offerings as of SAS 9.4 M7, due to the end-of-life for Adobe Flash. The latest SAS offerings include replacements for DataFlux Web Studio components that were used to manage reference domains and to monitor the quality of data jobs.

    For more information, see SAS Visual SAS Visual Analytics Report Used to Monitor Data Quality and SAS Reference Data Manager.
