Installation Note 42700: SAS® 9.2 TS2M3 does not include the required JCL for running SAS Remote Services as a started task in the z/OS operating environment

DetailsAboutRate It

The third maintenance release for SAS 9.2 (TS2M3) does not include the required JCL for running SAS Remote Services as a started task under z/OS.

You can run the remote services as a started task by using following sample JCL:

//SASRMTSV PROC SASROOT='/SAS home directory', // CONFIG='/SAS configuration directory/Lev1', // RMTDIR='/Web/Applications/RemoteServices', // SCRIPT='/RemoteServices.sh', // OPTION='start' //* //* START THE REMOTE SERVICES SERVER //* //SASRMTSV EXEC PGM=BPXBATCH, // PARM='SH &SASROOT.&CONFIG.&RMTDIR.&SCRIPT &OPTION' //STDOUT DD SYSOUT=* //STDERR DD SYSOUT=*

You cannot stop the started task by using the normal method (such as by submitting the command mvscmd stop <STC NAME>). To stop the started task, you must use the remote-services script file that is located in the configuration directory in UNIX System Services (USS):

./SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/Applications/RemoteServices/RemoteServices.sh stop

As an alternative method, you can create a second started-task procedure and set OPTION='stop', as follows:

// OPTION='stop'

Note: In SAS 9.3, the location of the started-task JCL is provided in the Instructions.html file. You can copy RemoteServices.jcl to your started-task procedure library by submitting the following command in an OMVS UNIX shell:

cp SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/Applications/RemoteServices/RemoteServices.jcl //'SYS1.PROCLIB(SASRMTSV)'
