Configure SPD Server Software on Your Windows Host

After you validate port and library assignments and start the name server and data server, you can begin to configure the LIBNAME domains and user password files.

You must configure the libnames.parm file with all of the LIBNAME domains that you use to store SAS tables and catalogs. The best way to exploit the parallel processing capabilities of SPD Server is to declare all of your LIBNAME domains. For more information about the format of the libnames.parm file, see SPD Server Command Reference and the libsamp.parm file in InstallDir\. Any changes that you make to the libnames.parm file when SPD Server is running do not take effect until you stop and restart SPD Server.
Add your SPD Server user IDs to the SPD Server password file. You should run the SPD Account Manager to perform this function. You can add to or modify the SPD Server password file at any time, even when SPD Server is running.
Use the SPD Account Manager to add users and groups. For more information, see Using SAS Scalable Performance Data (SPD) Server with Other Clients in SAS Scalable Performance Data Server: User's Guide.

After you set up and configure your SPD Server host environment, examine the files in your InstallDir\ directory. This file contains SAS programs that help you understand how to use various SPD Server features. The following sample files are included:

auditraw.sas	symbsub.sas
auditwh.sas	fmtgrpby.sas
audit.sql.sas	dynamic_cluster*.sas
verify.sas	minmax*.sas
passthru.sas	paralleljoin*.sas
tempwork.sas	starjoin*.sas
paraload.sas	index_scan*.sas
aclcolrw.sas	materialize_view*.sas
