Options for a Client and Server Running on the Same UNIX Machine

Compresses the data stream for an SPD Server network packet.

NETCOMP=YES | NO 

Arguments

Normally, data compression for inter-process transfers is recommended. However, for a client and server process on the same machine -- with UNIXDOMAIN=YES -- turning off compression can improve performance. You should examine NETCOMP together with UNIXDOMAIN and NETPACKSIZE for both client and server on the same machine.

Specify to turn off compression of the data stream.

LIBNAME mylib sasspds 'test_area'
   netcomp=no;

Specifies the use of UNIX domain sockets for data communication between an SPD Server and client process running on the same machine. (Not available in Windows.)

UNIXDOMAIN=YES | NO 

Arguments

When UNIXDOMAIN=YES, SPD Server uses AF_UNIX domain sockets rather than the customary AF_INET domain sockets for data communication. AF_UNIX sockets typically are much faster and greatly enhance performance but are possible only for cases where client and server are running on the same machine. You should also examine NETCOMP and NETPACKSIZE parameters for possible use to enhance performance in conjunction with UNIXDOMAIN.

You find that using the AF_UNIX sockets for your session that is running on the same machine as the SPD Server is not faster. Configure SPD Server to use the default AF_INET sockets instead.
