SAS/CONNECT Software

Complete Set of Agent Services

You can use the CALL Routine Interface to Agent Services to write applications that create, manage, and schedule agents to run on a remote host. These CALL routines are used with SAS data set or SAS macro programming.
You can also use the new CALL Routine Interface to Agent Services to optionally direct the results of the agent's execution to a specified message queue. In addition to the default SAS messaging service, SAS/CONNECT now supports the external messaging-service providers MQSeries from IBM, MSMQ from Microsoft, and Geneva Message Queuing from Level 8 Systems, all of which require a separate license for SAS Integration Technologies.
Before you can execute an agent application, you must first prepare the application's execution environment. New documentation about "Setting Up and Running Agent Applications" is in the SAS/CONNECT Help.
