Configuring SPD Server Host Software for Your Site

During installation of SAS Scalable Performance Data Server, you will be prompted to configure the SPD Server connection port, as well as the SPD Server SNET server connection port. The SPD Server Data server connection port connects the SPD Server LIBNAME client engine to the SPD Server Data server. The SPD Server SNET connection connects a JDBC client to the SPD Server SNET server. You use the SPD Server data port to make connections from the SAS SPD Server LIBNAME engine to the SPD Server host, as well as to the SPD Server SNET server port. The SPD Server SNET server port is required in order to connect to SPD Server from a JDBC client.

The default SPD Server port assignments are 5400 and 5401. You can change the default port assignments to port numbers that are available on your system. If you are running within a firewall, see How do I know which ports must be surfaced through an Internet firewall? in SAS Scalable Performance Data Server: User's Guide or see Using SAS Scalable Performance Data (SPD) Server with an Internet Firewall for more detailed information.
