Defining the SAS OLAP Environment

SAS Workspace Server

The SAS Workspace Server provides access to SAS software features such as the SAS language, SAS libraries, and the server file system. The SAS Workspace Servers interact with SAS by creating a server process for each client connection. Each server process (workspace) represents a Foundation SAS session. This enables client programs to access SAS libraries, perform tasks by using the SAS language, and retrieve the results.

A program called the object spawner runs on a workspace servers host machine. The spawner listens for incoming client requests and launches server instances as needed. For further information on SAS Workspace Servers, see "Understanding Workspace Server and Stored Process Servers" in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Application Server Administration Guide.
