Tuning Tips for Applications That Use SAS/SHARE Software

Introduction to Tuning Tips for Applications That Use SAS/SHARE Software

SAS has many tuning options, most of which are left at their default values. When an application accesses data through a SAS/SHARE server, sometimes the default values provide adequate performance and sometimes they do not.

SAS software is delivered to you properly tuned for a typical application that uses SAS/SHARE software. SAS makes some assumptions about the kind of processing that is going to take place in a typical application. Recognizing that your application might not be typical, SAS supplies tuning options that you can use to override default behavior.

This paper discusses programming techniques and option value adjustments that you can use to improve the performance of your applications that access data through servers. The information in this paper is the result of tuning several large applications that are in use at SAS.
