Analyzing the Server Log

SLTOOL1 Sample Program (SAS/SHARE)

Before you use the SLTOOL1 program, the server log must be in a file that can be read by the INFILE and the INPUT statements in the DATA step. The FILENAME statement points to the physical location that contains the server's log.

Because SLTOOL1 produces a compressed SAS data file that contains the server log and some additional data, it is recommended that you reserve an amount of space that is twice the size of the server log file.

SLTOOL1 produces a data file that is stored in the library WORK. Because the library WORK is temporary, it exists only for the duration of the SAS session and is deleted at termination. To keep the data file that is produced by SLTOOL1 for use after the session terminates, save it in a permanent library by specifying a valid, two-level name. For example:

DATA SLOGDATA.CVTLOG (DROP=SERVREL ANALREL
                      COMPRESS=YES
                      LABEL='Server Log');
