Hi,

Looking at the BI4.1 Supportability Pages (PAM), a SAS connector is only available as a "multi source enabled" federated source (i.e. using data federator APS on the BIPlatform for data access)

Only SAS source version 9.1.3 is listed.

You need to follow the data access help guide for the step-by-step.  http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir4/en/xi4sp5_data_acs_en.pdf

infact, I answered a similar question here: http://scn.sap.com/thread/3308049 - see excerpt below (to get you started)

-  For the Multi source universe, the jars had to be put in this folder:

• C:\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\SAP BusinessObjects Enterprise XI 4.0\dataAccess\connectionServer\jdbc\drivers\datafederator
