SAS/SHARE Software, Release 8.2
What's New Highlights
SAS/SHARE software is a data server that gives multiple users simultaneous access to SAS files. Working hand-in-hand with other SAS components, SAS/SHARE locates and delivers the data to meet multiple requests. It is ideal for applications that require constant data updates and that are accessed by many different users. SAS/SHARE supports security features for server operations, including native host security and password verification.
In Release 8.2, SAS/SHARE servers are now implemented as services. This means that they can respond to system requests such as START and STOP commands from the host operating environment (including the OS/390 Operator Console). For example, in the Windows NT and Windows 2000 environments, you can configure a SAS/SHARE server as a Windows service that starts automatically when the operating environment is started. You can also start, stop and restart your SAS/SHARE server by using the Windows Service Control Manager.
In the OS/390 operating environment, the SAS/SHARE server also now responds to console STOP commands. It's no longer necessary to use the OPERATE procedure to terminate a SAS/SHARE server.
Release 8.2 also includes updates to the client components that are provided with SAS/SHARE software. Both the SAS/SHARE driver for JDBC and the SAS/SHARE data provider have 8.2 enhancements.
