Process Profiler
The SPD Management folder in the SAS Management Console
contains a Process Profiler utility. Use the SPD Server Process Profiler
to view server resources that are monitored by the Performance Server.
The Performance
Server gathers SPD Server process performance information and distributes
it across the SPD Management section of the SAS Management Console.
The process performance information consists of memory and resource
allocations that are attributable to users and SPD Server processes
that are spawned by an SPD Server Name Server. All SPD Server users
must connect to an SPD Server Name Server before their SPD Server
session can be spawned. Each SPD Server Name Server owns a dynamic
family of subordinate SPD Server processes that are created and terminated
by SPD Server users and jobs.
To access
a server's process performance information, the Performance Server
application spdsperf must be running for
the targeted SPD Server Name Server. SAS Management Console must
be able to connect to the SPD Server Performance Server's listening
port.
Like the
other SPD Management utilities, you must first connect the Process
Profiler to the Performance Server. Click Connect in the Process Profiler to open the Connect to SPD Profile Server
dialog box.
Enter
your host name or server name, and the Performance Server's listening
port, and then click Connect. (The Performance
Server's listening port number is specified when you start the Performance
Server application.)
Once SAS
Management Console is connected to the Performance Server, the information
that the Performance Server captures is displayed.
Note: Some host
systems provide varying amounts of available resource information.
Performance and resource information can vary from host to host.
The host
performance profile information is automatically updated whenever
the Performance Server performs another capture. The frequency of
the Performance Server's information capture frequency is specified
by the -c option when the Performance Server
is started. More information about Performance Server startup settings
is available in the SPD Server Help chapter on Setting Up SPD Server Performance Server .
If the
SAS Management Console user also connects to the same SPD Server Name
Server via the ACL Manager, the Password Manager, or the Server Manager,
the User information that is displayed will be the SPD Server user
name that was used to connect with the LIBNAME statement. Otherwise,
the user name of the user that started SPD Server and the component
SPD Server processes is displayed.
