Connect to an SPD Server

On the Users tab in the SAS Management Console window, click Connect to open the Connect to SPD Server window:

The Connect to SPD Server window contains input fields for the following components. The components in the window follow the same usage rules as the components that you would use in a LIBNAME statement to connect to an SPD Server host.

Server

name of the SPD Server host

Port

SPD Name Server listen port

Domain

the SPD Server domain

User

user name that is designated as ACL special

Password

password associated with the user name

Group

optional group name

ACL Special

select this box to enable ACL special privileges

Complete the required information, and then click Connect. After you connect to an SPD Server host, you can use the SPD Server Management utilities. The status bar at the bottom of the active tab indicates that a connection exists.

Note: Do not confuse the SAS Management Console status indicator in the lower right corner of the SAS Management Console window with the SPD Server connection status at the bottom of the active tab.
