Configuring the SAS Environment File: Configuring the SAS Environment File

Configuring the SAS Environment File

The sas-environment.xml is located in the SAS-configuration-directory\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">
     <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, which is specified in the file, enables desktop client applications to determine the location of required services on the middle tier, and 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.
