A generic batch server is a component of a SAS application
server that provides the command to run jobs from SAS applications
or solutions without requiring any knowledge of the command. This
capability enables you to schedule jobs from SAS applications or solutions
that are not specifically supported by the SAS Java Batch server subtypes,
but it does not provide the ability to add command-line arguments
for the SAS application. 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 that 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.
