All data streaming blocks, such as the Numeric Source and Observation Source blocks, have the option Load From Remote SAS Workspace Server. When this option is checked, data are read from the specified location on the remote SAS workspace server. All data collecting blocks, such as the Number Holder and Bucket blocks, have the option Submit to Remote SAS Workspace Server. Selecting this option saves any collected data to a location on a remote SAS workspace server. The option Submit to Remote SAS Workspace Server is also available in the SAS Program block. When this option is checked, the specified SAS program on the local machine is executed on the remote SAS workspace server. You specify the remote SAS workspace server information in the SAS Simulation Studio Configuration dialog, available from the Tools menu. See Figure 3.2.
The options Submit to Remote SAS Workspace Server and Load From Remote SAS Workspace Server can be set in the block properties dialog box for a specific block. Also, right-clicking on a model name in the Project Explorer and choosing the option Remote Service Host opens a dialog box where you can select the blocks in the model for which the Submit to Remote SAS Workspace Server and Load From Remote SAS Workspace Server options should be checked. If any block in a model has either of these options checked, then the Remote SAS Workspace Server Login dialog box appears after the model execution begins. In this dialog box, you specify logon credentials necessary to access the remote SAS workspace server.
