Advanced users and system administrators
can start SAS by using Windows services and monitor SAS by using Windows
event logging and performance tools.
SAS
supports logging of error messages to the Windows Event Viewer's
Application Log. Abnormal termination of SAS tasks (such as an access
violation) can be viewed in the Application Log on addition to the
SAS Log. Also, informational messages from
SAS/CONNECT software can
be viewed on the Application Log. For more information, see
Event Viewer Application Log .
You
can start SAS as a Windows service, which enables you to start SAS
automatically and to specify recovery procedures if SAS fails. For
more information, see
Starting SAS as a Windows Service .
