Adding Environment Variables to Server Invocations

You can add operating system environment variables and other shell-level functionality to a stored process server, workspace server, pooled workspace server, and OLAP server, by modifying the corresponding _usermods.sh (.bat) files provided in the server's configuration directory.
This can be useful for situations such as when you have to set an environment variable in order to access a third-party DBMS.
Because the _usermods files are sourced within each of the server wrapper scripts, the server inherits any logic or environment. SAS preserves _usermods files during software updates and migrations, unlike the server wrapper scripts, which SAS overwrites. For this reason, we discourage editing the wrapper scripts.
The USERMODS_OPTIONS= variable is used in the _usermods file to alter the SAS command line to invoke the server.
