A SAS
spawner is a program that starts a SAS session on the
server on behalf of a connecting client. The
SAS/CONNECT spawner runs on the
SAS/CONNECT server, listens
for requests, and opens a connection to the server on behalf of the
client. Signing on to the
SAS/CONNECT spawner is an alternative to
signing on to a server by using a Telnet daemon. The
SAS/CONNECT spawner can listen for requests on multiple ports that are defined in metadata and
on a single
port that is defined on the spawner invocation command.
Spawner invocation options
enable you to start and manage the
SAS/CONNECT spawner. These invocation options consist of options specific to the
SAS/CONNECT spawner as
well as Base SAS system options. For more information about these
options, see
General Spawner Options.
