Using SAS Management Console to Test Server Connections

SAS Management Console provides a graphical user interface that enables you to test connections to SAS Workspace Servers and SAS Stored Process Servers.

To test a connection:

  1. Invoke the object spawner.

  2. Start SAS Management Console and connect to a metadata repository.

  3. In the SAS Management Console navigation tree, select and expand the Server Manager to locate the server definition you want to test. The connections that are associated with the server appear in the display area. Select the connection that you want to test in the display area, and select Actions arrow Test Connection from the menu bar.

  4. Provide user credentials. For stored process servers, the multi-user login is used automatically. For workspace servers, enter a valid User Name and Password in the Log on to (Server Name) window and click OK.

    SAS Management Console attempts to connect to the server. If the connection is successful, a window appears with the message, "Test Connection Successful". If the connection was not successful, an error message appears.
