Administering SAS OLAP Servers

Stopping, Pausing, and Resuming SAS OLAP Servers

In SAS Management Console, you can stop or quiesce OLAP servers to rebuild cubes, change OLAP schemas, or change server properties. When you stop an OLAP server, any active queries are immediately terminated. When you quiesce an OLAP server, the server accepts no new queries and terminates after the completion of the last active query. After you stop an OLAP server, you generally restart the host to restart the server.

Note: Stopping or pausing a SAS OLAP Server does not necessarily prevent access to a particular cube, because other servers might share the same OLAP schema. To update a cube without taking it off-line, you should disable the cube rather than stopping or pausing the server. [cautionend]

To stop, quiesce, pause, or resume a SAS OLAP server, right-click the server instance in the Server Manager and select the server from the pop-up menu, or right-click the logical OLAP server in the SAS OLAP Server Monitor.
