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 Programsthen selectSAS (or your SAS 9.3 program group) then selectIntrNetthen selectLoad Managerthen selectLog 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. From the Start menu, select Programsthen selectSAS (or your SAS 9.3 program group)then selectIntrNetthen selectLoad Managerthen selectInstall 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 9.3 IntrNet Load Manager.
