If you have installed
a workspace server, pooled workspace server, or a stored process server
on a machine separate from other SAS servers, you can use the instructions
in the following topics to move the server to a new machine.
In addition to changing
the machine name (and port number), if you move a server to a machine
with a different operating system or to a machine with an operating
system other than Windows, you might need to reconfigure the following:
-
accounts for authentication. You
might need to define accounts on the authentication provider for the
new server machine.
-
spawner start-up command. If you
change operating systems when you move machines, you might need to
change the spawner start-up command.
-
metadata on the SAS Metadata Server.
The following metadata definitions might require reconfiguration or
additional configuration:
-
server definition. On the server
definition, you might need to use the Server Manager plug-in to SAS
Management Console to change the following parameters:
-
SAS start-up command. You might
need to change the start-up command for the new operating system.
-
authentication domain. When you
move a server, you might need to set up an additional authentication
domain.
-
login definitions. For the login
definitions that access the server and the login definitions that
are used in the load-balancing configuration (for example, the SAS
Guest user's login, if you performed an Advanced or Personal installation),
you might need to use the User Manager plug-in to SAS Management Console
to do one or more of the following:
-
define a new login definition.
When you move a server, you might need to create a new login definition
for the new authentication domain.
-
define a new login definition for
a different authentication process. When you move a server, you might
need to create a new login definition with credentials to access a
server in a different operating system within the default authentication
domain.
-
change the format of the user ID
in the login definition. When you move a server, you might need to
change the fully qualified user ID for any login credentials used
to access that server.
-
stored process definitions. You
might need to use SAS Management Console to specify a new location
for your source code repository.
