Set ALLOWXCMD to Enable Bulk Loading or to Run UNIX Scripts

Set the ALLOWXCMD option as follows on your SAS Workspace Server or SAS Batch Server so that your jobs can use the bulk-loading capabilities of the native DBMS software. Also set the ALLOWXCMD option so that your jobs can run shell or PERL scripts in UNIX.

1. In SAS Management Console, expand the Server Manager.

2. Right-click the SAS Workspace Server and select Properties.

3. In the Properties dialog box, click the Options tab.

4. In the Options tab, click Advanced Options.

5. In the Advanced Options tab, click the Launch Properties tab.

6. In the Launch Properties tab, select the Allow XCMD check box.

7. Click OK twice to save changes and close the Properties window.

All new sessions on that particular SAS Workspace Server will run with the option ALLOWXCMD. Restart your current instance of SAS Data Integration Studio to run jobs with the ALLOWXCMD option on that server.
