Using the ARM Interface

Using ARM System Options

SAS provides ARM system options, which are SAS system options that manage the ARM environment and enable you to log internal SAS processing transactions, such as file opening and closing, and DATA step and procedure response time.

The following is a list of ARM system options:

ARMAGENT= System Option, which specifies another vendor's ARM agent that is an executable module that contains an implementation of the ARM API. By default, SAS uses ARMAGENT=SAS. To use the SAS logging facility, set ARMAGENT=LOG4SAS.
ARMLOC= System Option, specifies the location of the ARM log. ARMLOC= is not used with the SAS logging facility.
ARMSUBSYS= System Option, enables you to use internal SAS components, such as procedures and DATA steps.

You can specify the ARM system options in the following ways:

in a configuration file so that they are set automatically when you invoke SAS
on the command line when you invoke SAS
using the global OPTIONS statement in the SAS program or in an autoexec file
from the System Options window
