The SPD Engine can create
multiple indexes for a data set at the same time. The SPD Engine spawns
a single thread for each index created, and then processes the threads
simultaneously. Although creating indexes in parallel is much faster
than creating one index at a time, the default for this option is
NO. Parallel creation requires additional utility work space and additional
memory, which might not be available. If the index creation fails
due to insufficient resources, you can do one of the following:
-
set the SAS system option to MEMSIZE=0
-
increase the size of the utility
file space using the SPDEUTILLOC= system option
You increase the memory
space that is used for index sorting using the SPDEINDEXSORTSIZE=
system option. If you specify to create indexes in parallel, specify
a large-enough space using the SPDEUTILLOC= system option.
