The sas-environment.xml is located in the
SAS-config-dir\Lev1\Web\Common directory.
Because Web application
servers are likely to be rebooted, it is not recommended that this
file be placed in a Web application server. Instead, place the customized
file on an HTTP server.
Here is a sample sas-environment.xml
file that is configured for two environments:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8">
<environments xmlns="http://www.sas.com/xml/schema/sas-environment-9.2"
xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.sas.com/xml/schema/sas-environment-9.2
http://www.sas.com/xml/schema/sas-environment-9.2/sas-environment-9.2.xsd">
<environment name="Red" default="false">
<desc>test server Red for SAS Financial Management Studio</desc>
<service-registry>http://red.na.sas.com:8080/SASWIPClientAccess/
remote/ServiceRegistry</service-registry>
</environment>
<environment name="Blue" default="true">
<desc>test server Blue for SAS Financial Management Studio</desc>
<service-registry>http://blue.na.sas.com:7001/SASWIPClientAccess/
remote/ServiceRegistry</service-registry>
</environment>
</environment>The service registry
that is specified in the file enables desktop client applications
to determine the location of required services on the middle tier.
It also enables the applications to obtain a list of services available
in the environment. Note that this sas-environment.xml file resides
on an HTTP server, but the configuration in the file refers to the
Web application servers and their port numbers.
If SSL is configured
at your site, specify the https protocol and the SSL port number for
the service registry.
If your site has multilingual
users, you can configure the sas-environment.xml file to include localized
descriptions. In the next example, the Blue environment is specified
in German:
<environment name="Blue">
<desc>test2 Blue</desc>
<desc xml:lang="de">Blau</desc>
<service-registry>http://blue.na.sas.com:7001/SASWIPClientAccess
/remote/ServiceRegistry</service-registry>
</environment>
When the customized
sas-environment.xml file is available for multiple environments, refer
to the documentation for your SAS application or solution for instructions
about how to enable the availability of these environments for the users.
If you change the location of the sas-environment.xml file, be aware
that SAS desktop applications such as SAS Enterprise Miner need to
be updated with the new location. The SAS desktop applications that
integrate with the middle tier use the -Denv.definition.location JVM
option in INI files to identify the location of the sas-environment.xml
file. Refer the documentation for the SAS desktop applications that
you use. The
SAS-install-dir/sassw.config file is also used to identify the location
of the sas-environments.xml file. Update the
SASENVIRONMENTSURL= value in the sassw.config file.
