Configuration Shared between the Middle Tier and the Server Tier
The Web applications and services that form the SAS middle tier require specific configured connections to back-end servers. You might want to modify the connections and settings in the following ways:
-
Change the connection to an SMTP Mail Server.
-
Modify the connection to a relational database via a data source that is defined in the Web application server (for those deployments that include SAS Shared Services, SAS solutions, or both).
-
Define pooling options for connections to SAS Workspace Servers.
-
Integrate Application Response Measurement (ARM) capabilities between the SAS middle tier and SAS servers.
