If you need to use an autoexec.sas file to set up global parameters and automatic libnames for the SAS Data Integration Studio client, follow these steps.

1. Add the -AUTOEXEC option to the configuration path, so that it is used via the invocation of the given SAS Workspace Server.
   
   
2. Once it has been added, restart the SAS object spawner service.

   Some things to keep in mind about the SAS Workspace Server and how it works:
   
   

   1. The SAS Workspace Server is defined in the SAS Management Console under the SAS Object Spawner with the associated servers, which lists the servers that the spawner is permitted to start.
      
      
   2. The servers in the list run on the machine with which the spawner is associated. This was specified in the Associated Machine field in the SAS Object Spawner Options window.
      
      
   3. You will not see the bat file under:

      C:\SAS\<configdir>\Lev1\SASMain\WorkspaceServer

      The SAS Workspace Server does not have a .bat file, so it cannot work without the SAS object spawner.
      
      

   4. Files associated with the Workspace Server include:
      
      
      1. sasv9.cfg - C:\SAS\<configdir>\Lev1\SASMain\

         This file calls !sasroot\sasv9.cfg (the default location is C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.1\.
         
         

      2. *.log - C:\SAS\<configdir>\Lev1\SASMain\ WorkspaceServer\logs

         Workspace server logging is not enabled by default. Logging should be enabled only through SAS^® Management Console, not directly in sasv9.cfg as this file is used by the other SAS^® Foundation Servers.

You will not see a service for the SAS Workspace Server.
