Special SPDO Commands

Overview of SPDO Commands

Note: For additional information on using PROC SPDO, see the chapter, "Controlling SAS Scalable Performance Data Server Resources with PROC SPDO and ACL Commands."
The following SPDO commands require that you have ACLSPECIAL= enabled for your SPDO LIBNAME connection.
To enable ACLSPECIAL=, you must first grant the SPD Server user ID ACLSPECIAL= access rights. Second, the user must request access for a specific connection. To request access, the user adds the ACLSPECIAL=YES option to the LIBNAME statement. The user can now submit the following SPDO commands:
SPDSCMD 'command'
This example runs the specified command in the context of the user ID for the spdsserv process that is associated with the LIBNAME connection that the user used to invoke PROC SPDO. No restrictions are placed on commands that are executed in this manner. Therefore, you must carefully consider which SPD Server users need ACLSPECIAL access rights.

SPDO Command Examples

  1. List the WORKPATH directory:
    spdscmd 'ls /spdswork/*.spds';
    spdscmd 'dir d:\spdswork\*.spds'; 
  2. Clean up WORKPATH files:
    spdscmd 'rm /spdswork/*.spds';
    spdscmd 'del d:\spdswork\*.spds';
