A hot fix has been developed to enable the SAS Workspace Server to detect when a client machine unexpectedly closes its connection.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access this hot fix.

As a result of the new functionality, the SAS Workspace Server stops running automatcally. For example, this behavior can occur when you use the Microsoft Windows Task Manager to kill a client such as SAS^® Enterprise Guide^®.

The SAS Workspace Server uses IOM.CurrentClients (an existing counter that has been updated) and IOM.ReconnectEnabled (a new information variable) to determine when a client unexpectedly closes its connection. The SAS Workspace Server only stops when it encounters the following parameters:

This functionality only applies to single-user standard SAS Workspace Servers. It does not apply to multiple-user servers such as pooled workspace servers or to the SAS^® Stored Process Server.

If you do not want the SAS Workspace Server to stop automatically in the situation described previously, you should set the environment variable WKSP_KILL_OFF. With the environment variable set, you can check the updated IOM.CurrentClients counter using SAS^® Management Console to determine whether orphan processes exist and dealt with at the discretion of the administrator.
