Tasks

Deploy a Web Service Job as a Stored Process

Perform the following steps to deploy a Web service job as a stored process:
  1. Right-click the Web service job in a tree view, and select Stored Processthen selectNew from the pop-up menu. The New Stored Process wizard displays.
  2. Accept the default name or specify another name that makes it easier to distinguish the job from the stored process that you are about to create. For the sample job, the name is Convert Temp Stp. Enter other values as desired and click Next. The Execution page displays.
  3. Verify that the values in the following fields are appropriate. If not, select an appropriate value.
    SAS Server specifies the name of the SAS server that runs the stored process that you are defining. For the sample job, this is SAS App – Logical Stored Process Server.
    Source code repository specifies the path where the SAS server saves the source code for the stored process. For the sample job, this path is c:\public\st_processes.
    Source file specifies the name of the SAS file that contains the stored process that you are creating. For the sample job, this is Convert Temp Job.sas.
    When ready, click Next. The Parameters page displays.
  4. (Optional) Enter parameters if desired. The sample job does not require parameters. Click Next to go to the Data page.
  5. The Data page shows information about the source and target in the job. Verify that the information on the Data page is appropriate for the stored process that you are creating. If not, use the New or Edit buttons to specify appropriate values for the source and target. For example, the following display shows the default information on the Data page for the sample job.

    To update the source information, select the appropriate row in the Source pane, and then click Edit. A Modify Data Source window displays. For the sample job, you can specify values such as the following:
    Type: XML Stream
    Label: Input Temperature and Unit
    Allow rewinding stream: (selected)
    Fileref: intemp
    Specify schema: (selected)
    Schema URI: file:///c:/public/InTable.xsd
    Reference namespace: http://server1/test (as specified in the schema)
    Reference name: TABLE
    Reference type: Schema element
    WSDL generation options: embedded
    To update the target information, select the appropriate row in the Target pane, and then click Edit. A Modify Data Target window displays. For the sample job, you can specify values such as the following.
    Type: XML Stream
    Label: Output Temperature
    Fileref: outtemp
  6. Review any changes. Click Finish when ready. A stored process is generated for the job. A metadata object for the stored process is added to the Stored Process folder in the Inventory tree.
You might want to use an appropriate application to run the stored process to ensure that it works.
