Enabling the Scheduling of SAS Marketing Automation Jobs

Requirements for Scheduling SAS Marketing Automation Jobs

In addition to the scheduling server, a scheduling environment for SAS Marketing Automation jobs includes the following:

a SAS Java Batch server

A SAS Java Batch server is a metadata object that specifies the command to execute SAS code that is generated by SAS Marketing Automation jobs. The initial configuration process should have created a definition for a server called SAS Java Batch Server, which is a component of your SAS Application Server (for example, SASApp). The server must have a subtype of Marketing Automation.

Define a SAS Java Batch Server

A SAS Java Batch server should have been set up during your initial installation and configuration. If you need to set it up manually, follow these steps:

In SAS Management Console, expand the Server Manager node.
Right-click the application server name with which the SAS Java 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 Java Batch Server and click Next.
On the next wizard page, enter a name (for example, SAS Java 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.
- From the SubType list, select Marketing Automation.
- In the Command box, enter the path to the command that starts a SAS session on the scheduling server.
- Click Next.
On the next wizard page, review the information that you have entered. If it is correct, click Finish.
