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');
