Adding a New Workspace Server for SAS Enterprise Miner

First, familiarize yourself with the following documentation:

In the SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform: Application Server Administration Guide, see the section Add a New Logical Server in an Existing SAS Application Server, located at http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/biasag/63854/HTML/default/viewer.htm#titlepage.htm.
In the SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide, see the section Job Execution Services, located at http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/bimtag/65039/HTML/default/viewer.htm#titlepage.htm.

Complete the following steps to add a new workspace server to your SAS Enterprise Miner installation:

Start the SAS Deployment Wizard from the highest-level directory in your SAS Software Depot using the command that is appropriate for your operating system. On Windows systems that file is setup.exe. For UNIX systems, use setup.sh.
Select Install SAS Software. Click Next.
Select Perform a Planned Deployment, deselect Install SAS Software, and check only Configure SAS Software. Click Next.
You must use the same deployment plan that was used when you installed the original server component. This example uses one of the standard deployment plants. Choose Select a standard deployment plan, and from the drop-down menu select EMinerTMiner3. Click Next.
Checking System should already be complete. Click Next.
In Select User Account Mode, you will most likely want to choose Multiple-User Mode. Click Next.
In Select Configuration Prompting Level, select Typical. Click Next.
In Specify Configuration Information, you must choose the same options as your original installation. For this example, use the default settings. Click Next.
The SAS Deployment Wizard warns you that the configuration directory and level specified contain existing files. Select Yes.
In Select Products to Configure check SAS Workspace Server. Click Next.
In Local Machine Name, accept the defaults. Click Next.
In Migration Information, no migration should be performed. Click Next.
In Integrated Windows Authentication, accept the default settings. Click Next.
In SAS Metadata Server, accept the default settings. Click Next.
In Deployment Accounts: Type of Accounts, select Use SAS internal accounts when appropriate. Click Next.
In SAS Internal Account: Unrestricted Administrator, enter the same password that was used in the original installation. Click Next.
In Deployment Accounts: First User, there is no need to set up a first user ID. Click Next.
In Create SAS Application Server Context, select Create a SAS Application Server Context. Click Next.
In SAS Application Server: Server Context, enter SASApp_2 in the field SAS Application Server Context Name. Click Next.
In SAS Server Dependencies, confirm that the value of SAS Application Server Context is SASApp_2. Click Next.
In SAS Workspace Server, enter the workspace server port. This example uses the default value, 8592. Click Next.
Check the deployment summary and click Start. Once the SAS Deployment Wizard is finished, note the additional resources and click Finish.

Next you need to configure the Job Execution Service and restart the SAS web application servers.

Run the SAS Management Console and open the Plug-ins tab. Select SAS Application ManagementConfiguration ManagerSAS Application InfrastructureWeb Infra Platform Services 9.4JobExecutionService.
Right-click JobExecutionService and select Properties.
Open the Settings tab in the JobExecutionService Properties window and locate the Configure Execution Queues from Available Server Contexts section.
Select the new server, which is SASApp_2 in this example. Then move it to the Selected list. In the SASApp_2 Execution Queue Properties section, deselect Enable for interactive execution?.

Note: By default, Enable job persistence? is enabled, but not needed by SAS Enterprise Miner. You should disable this option. In addition, it is strongly recommended that the value specified for Job Queue Maximum Threads is 4 times the number of CPUs available for workspace servers.
Click OK.
If you have multiple SAS web application servers, stop SASSever1_11.
Restart the SAS Web Application Server SASServer1_1. For example, in a default Windows installation this can be done from the Windows Management console for Services by restarting the Service name, SAS [EMTMVA-Lev1] WebAppServer SASServer1_1.
If necessary, start SASServer1_11.

To verify your new server from SAS Enterprise Miner, log on to SAS Enterprise Miner and create a new project that uses the new logical workspace server. Then create a diagram, create a data source, place the data source on your diagram, and run the diagram. You can select the new logical workspace server in Step 1 of the New Project Wizard.

Important information about managing and configuring your workspace server can be found under Managing Workspace Servers and Stored Process Servers in the SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform Application Server Administration Guide.
