Problem Note 10003: Multiple SAS/CONNECT PC Spawner Programs can be run at the same time
Multiple SAS/CONNECT PC Spawners can be installed as a Service on the
same Windows host machine.
To be able to run multiple PC Spawners as a service, they must be
installed on different available TCP ports. For example, you must
initiate the spawners from a DOS command prompt at the ! sasroot
directory using the following commands.
!sasroot> spawner.exe -i -c tcp -service 5010
!sasroot> spawner.exe -i -c tcp -service 5011
!sasroot> spawner.exe -i -c tcp -service 5012
In Services, you must then Start these spawner services in order to
connect to them. Refer to TS-638 for more information on 'Installing
the PC Spawner Program'.
Once these spawners are installed and started as a Service, they will be
listed in Services as:
SAS Job Spawner
SAS Job Spawner #2
SAS Job Spawner #3
To SIGNON to a SAS Job Spawner that is installed on a TCP port other
than 23 (which is default), you must use the following syntax:
options remote=hostname.port#;
For example,
options remote=hostname.5010;
If you are using a %let statement to define a macro variable to a
hostname or IP address that is longer than 8 characters, then the
syntax would be:
%let mynode=xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx 5010;
options remote=mynode;
To delete these spawners you must issue the following statements from a
DOS command prompt at the !sasroot directory:
!sasroot> spawner.exe -d
The above statement will delete the service labelled SAS Job Spawner.
!sasroot> spawner.exe -d -instance 2
The above statement will delete the service labelled SAS Job Spawner
#2.
!sasroot> spawner.exe -d -instance 3
The above statement will delete the service labelled SAS Job Spawner #3
