Tips for Running the vApp

You can close and open SAS Data Loader in a web browser without shutting down the vApp. The vApp continues to play until you shut it down in VMware Player Pro. If you close the browser tab for SAS Data Loader while the vApp is playing, any jobs on the Hadoop cluster continue to run. Also, their run status continues to be collected.

After SAS Data Loader displays in your browser, you do not have to keep the browser tab for SAS Data Loader: Information Center open. While the vApp is still playing, you can close the tab for the Information Center at any time and still access SAS Data Loader.

Do not close the VMware Player Pro while the vApp is playing.

You can shut down SAS Data Loader for Hadoop as described in Power Off the vApp.

If you shut down vApp processes with Windows Task Manager, the vApp might not restart properly. If this happens, shut down the vApp as described in Power Off the vApp. Then power on the vApp as described in Play the vApp and Start SAS Data Loader.

If the vApp is playing, and you click in the window SAS Data Loader – VMware Player Pro, the cursor disappears. This behavior is expected; it ensures that you have to physically enter the web address in a web browser to open the SAS Data Loader: Information Center. To restore your cursor, press Ctrll+Alt.

You must restart the vApp after you change the version of Hadoop or configure a connection to a new database.
