Summary of Setup Tasks

To enable operating system scheduling, you must have a scheduling server. If you use the SAS Deployment Wizard to install and configure an operating system scheduling environment, all required items are automatically configured. You must include Operating System Services Scheduling Server 9.3 and SAS DATA Step Batch Server 9.3 in your plan file and select these two items in the SAS Deployment Wizard.
The setup tasks are as follows:
  1. Assign local administration rights to users (Windows only).
  2. Assign directory and file permissions.
  3. Define an operating system scheduling server.
  4. Assign a spawner to the operating system scheduling server.
