Step 3: Define an Operating System Scheduling Server

Define an operating system scheduling server in the metadata repository, as follows:
  1. In SAS Management Console, right-click Server Manager and select New Server.
  2. On the first page of the New Server Wizard, under Scheduling Servers, select Operating System Services. Click Next.
  3. On the next wizard page, enter a name (for example, OS Scheduling Server).
  4. On the next wizard page, enter information in the following fields:
    SubType
    Select the appropriate operating system.
    Control Directory
    Enter the path for the directory that will store the script for executing a flow. For a default installation, the directory is sas-config-dir/Lev1/SchedulingServer.
    Command
    Enter the appropriate SAS command, making any changes that are necessary for your installation. Sample commands are as follows:
    • Windows:
      "sas-config-dir\Lev1\SchedulingServer\Schedulingserver.bat"
    • UNIX:
      “sasc-config-server/Lev1/SchedulingServer/schedulingserver.sh”
    • z/OS:
      sas-config-dir/Lev1/SchedlingServer/SchedulingServer.sh
    Object Server Parameters
    Enter applevel=2.
  5. On the next wizard page, select DefaultAuth as the Authentication Domain. In the Host Name field, enter the name of the machine that hosts the scheduling server. Accept the default port number of 8451, or enter a different port number if this one is being used. Click Next.
  6. On the next wizard page, review the settings, and click Finish.
