Understanding the Batch Servers

The SAS Java Batch Server

If your environment includes a SAS product that relies on reporting, such as SAS Web Report Studio, then the SAS Deployment Wizard will have defined a Logical SAS Java Batch Server and a SAS Java Batch Server as part of your SAS Application Server. The type of Java Batch Server that the wizard creates depends on the product configuration and the subtype that it requires. For example, SAS Web Report Studio requires a Reporting subtype that will execute the outputgen command.

The SAS Java Batch Server has the properties that are shown in the following display.

[SAS Java Batch Server Properties dialog box]

The properties are explained in the following list:
Associated Machine

specifies the machine on which the SAS Java Batch Server is configured. This is also the machine on which the reports that are being scheduled must reside. It is not necessarily the machine on which the scheduled job actually executes. The job executes on the machine where the scheduling server is running. Ensure that any commands that you store in the batch server are capable of running on the scheduling server.

SubType

specifies the type of Java batch server that is being started (such as Marketing Automation or Reporting)

Command Line

specifies the command to start a SAS program or the command to run the batch job.
