The
following parameters invoke optional functionality in a SAS Metadata
Server in all host environments:
- The following parameters, which might be needed to generate
e-mail alerts for the metadata server:
- EMAILID "server-email-address | server-user-id"
-
specifies the user
ID that is to be used for authentication when an e-mail alert is generated.
Use this option for this purpose only if your e-mail server requires
user authentication.
- EMAILPW "server-email-password"
-
specifies the password
that is associated with the user ID that is specified in EMAILID.
Specify this option only if your e-mail server requires user authentication.
The password should be encrypted using SAS proprietary 32-bit encryption.
To obtain the encrypted password, use PROC PWENCODE.
Note: If you provide this password
in the SAS Deployment Wizard, then the wizard automatically encrypts
it. To update this password, you can use the Update Passwords feature
of the SAS Deployment Manager.
See Update a Managed Password in SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
- EMAILAUTHPROTOCOL LOGIN | NONE
-
specifies the protocol
that is to be used to authenticate the user to the e-mail server.
If your e-mail server requires user authentication, specify a value
of LOGIN. Otherwise, omit this option or specify the default value
(NONE).
- AUTHPROVIDERDOMAIN=(provider:domain-name)
-
specifies an alternative
authentication provider. When the AUTHPROVIDERDOMAIN parameter is
omitted from the metadata server start command, the metadata server
uses host authentication to authenticate users. AUTHPD is an alias
for AUTHPROVIDERDOMAIN.
For usage
information, see Direct LDAP Authentication in SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.Note: In UNIX operating environments,
you must insert an escape character before each parenthesis. For example:
-authproviderdomain
= \(ADIR:MyDomain\)
- The OBJECTSERVERPARMS parameters:
- THREADSMIN=minimum-number-of-threads
-
specifies the minimum
number of threads in the server's thread pool. When the number of
threads falls below this number, IOM mechanisms automatically create
new threads. TMIN is an alias for THREADSMIN. THREADSMIN and THREADSMAX
are set in conjunction with the MAXACTIVETHREADS server configuration
option.
By default, the server
uses this formula to compute the minimum number of threads:
MAX(5,((number-of-processors * 2) + 1))
This means that the
value is set to either 5 or to ((
number-of-processors *
2) + 1), whichever is greater.
- THREADSMAX=maximum-number-of-threads
-
specifies the maximum
number of threads in the server's thread pool. When the number of
threads exceeds this number, IOM mechanisms automatically delete threads.
TMAX is an alias for THREADSMAX.
Note: It is recommended that TMIN=TMAX.
THREADSMIN and THREADSMAX
are set in conjunction with the MAXACTIVETHREADS server configuration
option.
| Default |
By default, if no value is specified for maximum number
of threads, it is set to the computed value of THREADSMIN.
