To WebDav or Not, that is the question.

By Angela Hall on SAS Learning Post July 5, 2007

In SAS Business Intelligence packages (where Information Delivery Portal is not licensed), Xythos is not absolutely necessary. Apache can be setup as a webdav folder for SAS Web Report Studio use in storing shared and personal report metadata. This is a much simpler installation process and you loose no functionality by going this route.

However, if you think you might upgrade in the future, Xythos might not be a bad thing to set up.
