Installation Note 41368: Configuring SASĀ® Activity-Based Management release 7.1 client to allow connections to multiple SAS Activity-Based Management release 7.1 servers
By default, the SAS Activity-Based Management 7.1 client connects to a single SAS Activity-Based Management server that was defined during the initial client installation. When you launch the SAS Activity-Based Management 7.1 client, it reads the contents of the <environments.ini> file for the name of the default SAS Activity-Based Management 7.1 server to connect to.
The default location for the <environments.ini> file is:
<drive>:\ProgramFiles\SAS\SASActivityBasedManagementClient\7.1
on the client machine.
This is an example for a default server:
[ENVIRONMENT]
Location=http://ABMSERVER:8080/SASLogon/sas-environment.xml
This will establish connections to your default server (named
ABMSERVER on port
8080 in the example above). Ensure the server name and port number are correct in the <environments.ini> file.
To configure your SAS Activity-Based Management 7.1 client to allow connections to multiple SAS Activity-Based Management 7.1 servers, you need to modify your <environments.ini> file
To connect to a 2nd server:
- Edit the content of the enviroments.ini file, as shown below:
[ENVIRONMENT]
Location=<drive>:\Program Files\SAS\SASActivityBasedManagementClient\7.1\bin\sas-environments.xml
- Create a <sas-environments.xml> file in the folder:
<drive>:\Program Files\SAS\SASActivityBasedManagementClient\7.1\bin
- Edit the content of <sas-environments.xml> file to include the 2nd server, as shown below:.
This is an example of the <sas-environments.xml> file that allows connections to the servers ABMSERVER and ABMSERVER1:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<environments xmlns="http://www.sas.com/xml/schema/sas-environments-9.2"
