What's New in Communications Access Methods for SAS/CONNECT
9.3 and SAS/SHARE 9.3
Overview
In SAS 9.3, the communications
access methods for
SAS/CONNECT
and
SAS/SHARE software has
several changes to the spawners. These changes result in improved
security, enable X command processing for the
z/OS spawner, and write
events to the Windows event log.
Changes to the Spawners
-
The new -DESCRIPTION option enables
you to add a description to the Windows spawner that is installed
and started as a Windows service. The description can be viewed with
the services applet in Windows.
-
The ENCRYPTFIPS security option
is now available for the spawner command on all operating environments.
For more information about this and all other security options, see
Encryption
in SAS, located in the Base SAS Help and Documentation.
-
The SHELL option in the
z/OS spawner
can now be specified in the
z/OS PARM file. This option enables the
SAS session, which is invoked by the spawner, to support X command
processing.
-
The LOGEVENTS option can now be
specified in the Windows spawner command. This option causes the
SAS/CONNECT
spawner to write events to the Windows event log. These events describe
when a
SAS/CONNECT server process starts, when a
SAS/CONNECT server
process ends, and when a
SAS/CONNECT server process fails to start.
