Options can be set for
SAS Data Integration Studio, such as enabling parallel processing
and configuring grid processing.
Use the
Options window to specify options for SAS Data Integration
Studio. You can display this window by selecting
Tools
Options Code Generation from the menu bar.
In most
cases the appropriate options are selected by default. You can override
the defaults by using one of the options in the following tables.
Global Options for Jobs
|
|
|
Enable optional macro variables
for new jobs
|
When selected, specifies that optional
metadata macro variables are to be included in the code that SAS Data
Integration Studio generates for new jobs.
|
Generate JCL
compatible code with an extra space at beginning of each line
|
When selected,
generates JCL compatible code with an extra space at the beginning
of each line.
|
Enable parallel processing macros
for new jobs
|
When selected, adds parallel processing
macros to the code that is generated for all new jobs.
|
Default grid workload specification
|
Enables you to select a default
workload specification value for all new jobs. For example, if the
grid is partitioned, you can designate specific applications to run
on designated servers. The grid workload specification consists of
a string value that must match the name that is defined in the Platform
Computing grid configuration files. These files are text files that
are set up by administrators when they configure a grid.
|
Default maximum number of concurrent
processes group box
|
Contains concurrent processes options.
|
One process for each available
CPU node
|
When selected, sets the number
of concurrent processes to one process for each available CPU node
for all new jobs. Generally, this is the most effective setting.
|
|
|
Specifies an exact number of concurrent
processes to run for all new jobs.
|
Run all processes concurrently
|
When selected, runs all processes
concurrently by using SAS load balancing for new jobs. Typically,
this option is used only in a grid computing environment where a managing
scheduler, such as Platform Computing software, is used to handle
workload management for the grid. In a grid computing environment,
you should also adjust your job slots to match your environment and
perform other necessary tuning. Too many processes sent to an overloaded
environment can dramatically reduce performance, and potentially cause
deadlock.
|
Enable generation
of job status handling as last step for new jobs
|
When selected,
adds job status handling code as the last step for new jobs.
|
Use locale-specific
date format in generated code for new jobs
|
When selected,
uses the appropriate date format for the specific locale in the generated
code for new jobs.
|
You can
set local options that apply to individual jobs by selecting the job
and using the right mouse button to open the pop-up menu. Select
Properties and then select the
Options tab. These local options override global options for the selected
job, but they do not affect any other jobs.
Local Options for Jobs
|
|
|
|
|
Enables you to
set options by using a SAS OPTIONS statement.
|
Enable optional metadata macro
variables
|
When set to YES, specifies that
optional macro variables are to be included in the code that SAS Data
Integration Studio generates for the selected job. This option overrides
the global option with the same name.
|
Enable parallel processing macros
|
When set to YES, adds parallel
processing macros to the code that is generated for the selected job.
This option overrides the global option with the same name.
|
Generate the status handling code
as the last step
|
When selected, adds job status
handling code as the last step.
|
Use locale-specific
date format in generated code
|
When selected,
uses the appropriate date format for the specific locale in the generated
code.
