Create a New Server Definition

Follow these steps to create a new server definition in metadata:
  1. In the Servers module, click the New Server icon to display the New Server window.
  2. Specify the appropriate information in the New Server window. The window contains only the minimum fields required to define the server. When you select the server type, the Options section of the window automatically expands to display any required options for the selected server type. SAS LASR Analytic Server is currently the only available server type.
  3. Click Save to create the definition. The new server definition automatically opens to enable you to specify any non-required options..
  4. To specify any non-required options, click the property page title to see the list of all property pages for the server. Specify any additional options and save the definition.
Note: If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 11, you might need to click the Refresh icon in order to see the new server definitions in the list of servers.
After you use the Servers module to create the SAS LASR Analytic Server definition, you must complete these additional steps in order for SAS Visual Analytics to be able to use the server:
  1. Use the Authorization page to set the metadata permissions for users of the server. They must have ReadMetadata, WriteMetadata, and Administer permissions.
  2. Use the Authorization page to add the Visual Analytics Data Administrators group to the identity list for the server. You must search for this group in order to add it.
  3. Grant the Administer permission for the Visual Analytics Data Administrators group.
