Using SAS Stored Processes with a SAS Grid

As with SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS stored processes can take advantage of a SAS grid using either one of these approaches or a combination of both:
  • Using server-side load balancing through a stored process server. You can convert a stored process server to use load balancing, and then specify grid as the balancing algorithm. When you send jobs from a SAS stored process to this server, the server automatically sends the job to the least busy node in the grid. See Using SAS Grid Manager for Server Load Balancingfor more information about specifying grid load balancing on a stored process server.
  • Modifying the stored process code in order to enable the code to run on the grid. You must also modify options associated with the stored process. Download the code that you must add to the stored process, along with complete information about other steps that you must take, from http://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/grid/download.html
