Managing SAS Application Servers

Add a New Logical Server in an Existing SAS Application Server

A SAS Application Server can contain one of each of the following logical servers: workspace, stored process, OLAP, grid, CONNECT, batch, or metadata. Each logical server type must have at least one server defined.

Using the SAS Deployment Wizard, you can add a new logical server to a pre-existing SAS application server. For more information, see "Adding SAS Products" in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.

Follow these guidelines when running the SAS Deployment Wizard to add a logical server to an existing SAS application server:

The machine on which you want to add the new logical server should have a network connection to your site's SAS Software Depot. If it does not, then you must find a way to get the depot to the machine on which you want to create the new logical server.

For more information, see "Overview: SAS Software Depots" in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.
Use your deployment plan that contains the server component that you are adding.

Note: There are standard deployment plans that contain a SAS application server machine. For more information, see About Deployment Plans in SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
Choose Configure SAS Software and uncheck Install SAS Software, unless you know that the server you are adding was never installed before.
Specify the server context to match the name of your current SAS Application Server (for example, SASApp).
Obtain the SAS Metadata Server connection information for the metadata server that you are currently using. The wizard will prompt you for this information.
If you are adding logical servers that require an object spawner (one of the workspace servers and the stored process server), then when you deploy your logical server, the wizard will also deploy an object spawner to start the server. If the machine on which you are adding the SAS application server already contains an object spawner, then the wizard will update the pre-existing spawner definition for you to include the new server that you want your spawner to manage.
