Overview of Server Administration

To administer SAS Visual Process Orchestration, you perform the following tasks:
  • Stop, start, and restart the Runtime Server
  • Manage membership in the administrator group
  • Manage server properties in metadata
  • Monitor log files for the Design Server, Runtime Server, and orchestration jobs
SAS Management Console enables you to modify the properties of the Design Server and the Runtime Server and manage membership in the administrator group.
Log files can be generated for the Design Server for each connection to a SAS web client.
Log files can be generated for the Runtime Server for each job run request. Log entries record the results of the orchestration job.
Orchestration job logs can record the results of each component job that is executed in the course of running the orchestration job.
You can configure the SAS Job Monitor to collect and display job status information from the Runtime Server log files. The SAS Job Monitor is part of the SAS Environment Manager.
The SAS Visual Process Orchestration Design Server is started and stopped by its SAS Object Spawner. To stop and start the Runtime Server, see the topics in this chapter.
