Load Manager on Windows Platforms

Configuring and Starting the Load Manager

To configure the Load Manager in a Windows environment, perform the following steps:

  1. From the Start menu, select Programs  [arrow]  SAS  [arrow]  IntrNet  [arrow]  Create a New IntrNet Service.

  2. Read the information in the IntrNet Config Utility Welcome window. Select Next to continue.

  3. Select Configure the Load Manager. Select Next to continue.

  4. Specify the TCP/IP port number or name for the Load Manager. Select Next to continue.

  5. The Configure Load Manager window displays all of the information you specified for this service. Verify the information in this window before continuing. If it is not correct, select the Back button to change the information. If it is correct, select Next to configure the Load Manager.

  6. Select Finish to exit the wizard.

The Load Manager is now configured. You can start the Load Manager from the Windows Start menu by selecting Programs  [arrow]  SAS  [arrow]  IntrNet  [arrow]  Load Manager  [arrow]  Start Interactively.

Return to the Application Load Manager Reference for general information about the Load Manager.

Accessing Log Files

Log files are kept in a Load Manager service directory. The service directory can be accessed from the Windows Start menu. From the Start menu, select Programs  [arrow]  SAS (or your SAS 9.2 program group)  [arrow]  IntrNet  [arrow]  Load Manager  [arrow]  Log Directory.

Windows Services

The Load Manager can be installed as a Windows service. Installing as a Windows service enables the Load Manager to run automatically whenever the Windows system is booted, even if a user is not logged into the system. As noted above, install the SAS Service Configuration Utility before you Configure a Load Manager that will be installed as a Windows service. Information about the SAS Service Configuration Utility is located in the SAS 9.2 System Requirements documentation at support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter.

From the Start menu, select Programs  [arrow]   SAS (or your SAS 9.2 program group)  [arrow]  IntrNet  [arrow]  Load Manager  [arrow]  Install as Windows Service. This step does not start the Load Manager. After the Load Manager has been installed as a Windows service, each time the system reboots the Load Manager is started automatically. You can manually start and stop the Load Manager Windows service by using the Start Windows Service and Stop Windows Service menu selections. Note that you can still run the Load Manager interactively by using the Start Interactively menu selection, but only if the Windows service has been stopped.

A Windows service can also be uninstalled from the Uninstall Windows Service menu selection. This only uninstalls the Windows service. The Load Manager Start menu shortcut remains, and the Load Manager can still be run interactively.

Selecting the Services icon in the Windows Control Panel opens a window that lists the current status of all Windows services. The Load Manager service display name is SAS IntrNet Load Manager.
