A generic batch server is a component of a SAS application
server that provides the command to run jobs from SAS applications
or solutions that are not specifically supported by the SAS Java Batch
server subtypes. If a release of a SAS application or solution adds
support for scheduling, you can schedule jobs using a generic batch
server until the SAS Java Batch server subtypes are updated.
Follow
these steps to define a SAS generic batch server:
-
In SAS
Management Console, expand the
Server Manager node.
-
Right-click
the application server name with which the generic batch server is
associated (for example,
SASApp), and select
Add Application Server Component.
-
On the
first page of the New SAS Application Server Component Wizard, select
SAS Generic Batch Server and click
Next.
-
On the
next wizard page, enter a name (for example,
SAS Generic
Batch Server), and click
Next.
-
On the
next wizard page, do the following:
-
From the
Associated
Machine drop-down list, select the name of the machine
that contains the SAS Application Server.
Note: The machine
name attribute is for documentation purposes only. SAS scheduling
does not use this machine name to set up or execute the job.
-
In the
Command box, enter the appropriate command for the scheduling server.
-
-
On the
next wizard page, review the information you have entered. If it is
correct, click
Finish.
-
When you
finish the wizard, the server appears as a component under the selected
SAS application server.
