In the SAS System version 8, the following statement had to be locally submitted to create a TCPDEBUG.DAT file.

In SAS 9.1 BI Architecture environments, a TCPDEBUG.XXX file is automatically created because the VERBOSE option is set by default in the ConnectServer.bat file.

In the past, setting the VERBOSE option and defining the following were mutually exclusive and created two different output logs:

Setting VERBOSE on a spawner installation (outside of the SAS 9 BI Architecture environment), will only create an output log for the spawner.

If you do not want the TCPDEBUG.XXX files to be created, you must modify the ConnectServer.bat file and remove the –VERBOSE option from the Spawner installation line. By default the ConnectServer.bat is located in the <plan_directory\Lev1\SASMain\ConnectServer> directory.

If you chose to remove the &*ndash;VERBOSE option from the ConnectServer.bat file, the debug trace can still be defined by submitting the following code prior to the SIGNON statement:

NOTE: On certain UNIX hosts, TCPDEBUG must be submitted in lowercase.

Additional 9.2 NOTE: For SAS 9.2, the VERBOSE option is not set by default and must be added to the ConnectSpawner script on the install command.
