Ports for SAS on Windows, UNIX, and z/OS

Ports for SAS

Use the following pre-installation checklist to make sure that you have designated the necessary ports for SAS.

For more information about the ports used by the SAS Intelligence Platform, see Default SAS Ports in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.

On UNIX and z/OS, we recommend that you document each SAS port that you reserve in the following standard locations on each machine:

This practice will help to avoid port conflicts on the affected machines.

On z/OS, the SAS servers are configured and initially started as TSO processes invoked from the USS shell using /bin/tso. When these servers are started under tso, the job name is the user ID that is starting the server with a character appended to the end. If your site makes use of the reserved ports facility in TCP/IP, each port definition should include the started task and this SAS installer ID job name as valid users of this port. You can use an asterisk (such as, sas*) in this definition.

Note:   On all operating systems, the last digit of the default port number reflects the configuration level that you select in the SAS Deployment Wizard. For example, when you select Lev1, the default port for the metadata server is 8561. If you choose another level, such as Lev2, the wizard changes the default port to 8562.   [cautionend]

Note:   These checklists are superseded by more complete and up-to-date checklists that can be found at http://support.sas.com/installcenter/plans. This Web site also contains a corresponding deployment plan and an architectural diagram.a003229422  [cautionend]

1 In SAS 9.2, two or more workspace servers can share the same port even if they are running at the same time.

Note:   If you are deploying the SAS Table Server, then the SAS configuration path should be a path local to the machine. The configuration path should not be on an NFS shared disk. For more information, see Interactive Prompting Levels in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.  [cautionend]
