Scheduling Jobs

Preparing for Job Scheduling

Before you can schedule a Job in SAS/Warehouse Administrator, you must do some preparation, as follows:

Host configuration

For a production data warehouse in which Jobs will be scheduled and tracked through SAS/Warehouse Administrator, we strongly recommend that all Jobs Information libraries be placed under the control of a SAS/SHARE server. For details, see Jobs Information Libraries and SAS/SHARE Software.

Global metadata

Create the SAS library that you will register as the Jobs Information library for a given Warehouse Environment or Data Warehouse, as described in Example: Creating a Jobs Information Library.
Register the Jobs Information library for a given Warehouse Environment or Data Warehouse, as described in Registering Jobs Information Libraries.
Create a host definition for the host on which the scheduling server application (such as CRON) runs. For details about host definitions, see Host Definitions.
Create the appropriate scheduling server definition, as described in Scheduling Server Definitions.
