The Problem Determination Analysis tool (PDATool) is an automated Java-based tool that enables you to collect various SAS^® server-tier services log files and relevant configuration files automatically from SAS^® server configured machines. This tool must be placed on the SAS 9.4 server machines where the following listed featured SAS 9.4  Server services are running. As it is currently designed, this tool works for SAS^® 9.4 installations only.

Installation and Configuration

This section explains how to configure the PDA tool to collect SAS 9.4 server-tier services log and configuration files.

1. Click here to download the PDATool.zip file.Extract the content of the ZIP file into the folder of your choice as long as the folder exists on the same file system where your SAS 9.4 installation is performed.


2. Set execution permissions for your operating environment. For UNIX operating environments, submit the following command to provide execution rights to the PDATool.sh script:
   chmod 765 PDATool.sh

   For details about available command options, see the table in the section Valid Command Options.
