To configure a SAS grid
to distribute the workload from SAS Enterprise Guide, use the SAS
Grid Manager. For assistance, refer to
Grid Computing in SAS.
You can use a SAS grid
in the following ways:
-
Send jobs to a load-balanced SAS
Workspace Server, and specify grid as the load-balancing algorithm.
-
Specify that a project is to run
on a grid, by specifying the option
Use grid if available in
the Project Properties dialog box.
-
Specify that a task is to run on
a grid, by specifying the option
Use grid if available in
the task’s Properties dialog box.
-
On the logical grid server, specify
a value of Force for the GridPolicy extended attribute to send all
output from SAS Enterprise Guide to your grid.
To run project submissions
or tasks on separate grid nodes, select the project or task option
Allow
parallel execution. If parallel tasks or project submissions
share data, create pre-defined libraries on each grid node, and ensure
that all tasks or project submissions write and read data from those
libraries.
