A SAS OLAP Server is started as a system process and
waits for clients to connect to it. Each client connection establishes
a
session on the SAS OLAP Server. Each
session can then submit MDX
queries. Typically,
each MDX query is split into one or more
regions, which translate calls against the OLAP cube's data, which are called
data queries.
ARM writes SAS OLAP
Server records to an ARM log using the SAS logging facility. There
are two ways to activate ARM logging:
-
on a running SAS OLAP Server. No
server restart is necessary. Logging is valid for the currently running
server only, and will not continue when the server is restarted.
-
by making a change to the logconfig.xml
file. Logging will activate automatically, but requires a server restart.
