SAS/CONNECT User's Guide

Introduction

Remote Objecting is an extension of the messaging capabilities applied to the object-oriented application environment. It allows SAS/AF developers to distribute selected partitions of their encapsulated object frameworks across remote session boundaries.

Enablement is through a dynamic remote object that uses methods for

instantiating an object in a remote SAS session
building a method parameter list
invoking a method on the remote instance and receiving the output results
destroying the remote instance.

Remote objects can be created and manipulated on a remote host, while the results are sent to the user's local host. Therefore, you are no longer limited to object access only within your local environment, you now have the flexibility to do the same operations remotely.
