What's New in Application Server Administration for the SAS
9.3 Intelligence Platform
Overview
The
SAS Intelligence Platform: Application Server Administration Guide explains how to administer a SAS Application Server.
This document contains
the following enhancements and changes to the SAS Intelligence Platform:
Added Object Spawner Command Option for Load-balancing Peer
without a Peer Refresh
A new Object Spawner
command option (-lbaddtocluster) enables you to add a new host to
an existing load balancing peer object without requiring a peer refresh.
This feature is required for cloud computing and software as a service
models.
Enhanced Support for Running SAS Code at Server Session Boundaries
In addition to the stored
process server, the workspace server and pooled workspace server now
support running SAS code at server session start up and shutdown.
Enhanced Support for Running SAS Code at Server Boundaries
In SAS 9.3, the IOM
servers also support running SAS code at server start up and shutdown.
Added Single Sign-on Support, Based on Kerberos, for UNIX
Single sign-on support
based on Kerberos has been added for SAS servers running on UNIX.
Added Object Spawner Support for FIPS
The object spawner supports
the Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) compliance mode
that is provided by
SAS/SECURE software in its implementation of
the FIPS 140-2 specification.
Changed Server Credentials for Load Balancing
Server load balancing
generates its own credentials internally in SAS 9.3. Logical server
credentials are no longer needed.
Added Support for Grid Algorithm
The load-balancing grid
algorithm is now supported for the OLAP, stored process, and pooled
workspace servers.
Changed Object Spawner Refresh
In SAS 9.3, when you
refresh the object spawner, the spawner now quiesces any servers that
it has started. The servers shut down when their clients have completed
their work.
Added New SAS Procedure: PROC IOMOPERATE
There is a new SAS 9.3
procedure, PROC IOMOPERATE. It administers SAS servers that support
the SAS IOM infrastructure.
