SAS/SHARE Software

Services Support

SAS/SHARE servers are now implemented as services. This means that they can now respond to system requests such as start and stop commands from the host operating system.

For example, in Windows NT and Windows 2000 environments, you can configure a SAS/SHARE server as a Windows service that starts automatically when the operating system is started. You can also start, stop, and restart your SAS/SHARE server using the Windows Service Control Manager.

Note: In order to configure your SAS/SHARE server as a Windows service, you must run the SAS Service Configuration Utility (SSCU). The SSCU is shipped with Base SAS software for Windows. On Windows, more instructions are available in Configuring a SAS/SHARE Server as a Windows Service from the table of contents in SAS/SHARE Help.

In an OS/390 operating environment, the SAS/SHARE server also now responds to console STOP commands. This means that you no longer have to use the PROC OPERATE procedure to terminate a SAS/SHARE server.
