Managing the SAS/CONNECT Spawner

Overview

Spawner invocation options consist of options that are specific to the spawner and several SAS system options that you can use to run and configure the spawner from the command line.
The SAS/CONNECT spawner and the command to start it have been unified into a single executable program with one set of options for all platforms (UNIX, Windows, and z/OS). These options can be logically grouped into the following categories:
  • General spawner options
  • Windows service options
  • Open systems-specific options
The syntax for starting the SAS/CONNECT spawner is as follows:
CNTSPAWN <options>
The following sections provide platform-specific information for starting and managing the SAS/CONNECT spawner on a UNIX, Windows, and z/OS server.
