Working with SAS LASR Analytic Server Connections

About Server Connections

The following items summarize some key facts for using the LASR Tables tab to manage server connections:
  • You can create only one server connection for each SAS LASR Analytic Server component in the metadata, but you can load multiple tables into the SAS LASR Analytic Server by using a single server connection. Each server connection can have multiple libraries, and each library can have multiple tables that are associated with it.
  • When a server connection is started, it runs indefinitely without stopping. If you do not intend to use that server connection, stop the server connection. A lifetime parameter can be specified to set a time-out for server connections.

Start a Server Connection

SAS LASR Analytic Server components and libraries are defined in the metadata by using SAS Management Console, and server connections are started in SAS Visual Analytics Administrator. After you start a server connection that is associated with a library, you can perform any tasks that are associated with loading tables to the SAS LASR Analytic Server.
To start a server connection:
  1. Click the LASR Tables tab. Then, expand the tree view for the SAS LASR Analytic Server component.
  2. Select the Server Connection server connection that you want to start. Click Start a Server Connection.
    TheStatus Indicator icon in the Status column indicates that the server connection has been activated and is now running.
Note: If you started a server connection, and you do not plan to use it, stop the server connection. Any SAS LASR Analytic Server connection that is started continues to run unless it is manually stopped, or until it reaches its lifetime limit.
