About Checking the Status of Servers

SAS provides a number of tools that you can use to determine the status of your SAS server components. SAS Management Console includes features that enable you to do the following:
  • use a server script to display the status of a server from the command line
  • check the access state of the SAS Metadata Server to determine whether it is online, paused for administration, or paused to an Offline state
  • check a SAS Metadata Repository to determine whether it is in an Online, Administration, Administration (ReadOnly), ReadOnly, or Offline access state
  • check an instance of the SAS object spawner to ensure that you can make a connection
  • submit SAS code to validate that instances of a SAS Metadata Server, SAS Workspace Server, SAS Pooled Workspace Server, SAS Stored Process Server, or SAS OLAP Server are set up correctly
  • determine whether the SAS Content Server is listening on the specified host and port, and that the first configured base path exists on the server
  • determine whether the SAS Framework Server is listening on the specified host and port and that can process a submitted query
To run more extensive validation tests on the SAS Content Server, you can use the SAS Deployment Tester plug-in in SAS Management Console or the SAS Deployment Tester batch clients. See Using the Deployment Tester or the SAS Management Console Help. You can also use SAS programming features to check the status of the metadata server, metadata repositories, and the repository manager.
Note: To check the status of a SAS/SHARE server, see the SAS/SHARE User's Guide.
