Proxy Manager

Click the Proxy Manager folder in the SAS Management Console window to display tables that list all users that access a specific SPD Server host. The current libref allocations are displayed for each user, as well as information about the proxy that serves each libref. Available proxy information includes the process ID, the port number, the library path, and, if the libref was established with record locking, the thread ID. For each allocated libref, you can view every data set that is accessible to or open in the libref. If a libref was established with ACLSPECIAL=YES, then all data sets in the specified domain are visible and accessible to that libref, regardless of any connection settings that are established through the SPD Management utilities in SAS Management Console.

Before you can perform any operations in the Proxy Manager, you must be connected to an SPD Server host. For more information about connecting to a host, see Connect to an SPD Server. After you connect to an SPD Server host, click Refresh Data in the Proxy Manager to update the table data.

You can filter, sort, reorder, and hide Proxy Manager table columns to display proxies of interest. Click on the column headings and select the appropriate choice from the menu.

You can apply filters to any number of columns. The following filter options are available:

You can drag column headings to a new place in the table to reorder columns. To hide or reveal a column, use the blue down arrow that is above the vertical scroll bar on the right side of the Proxy Manager.

Click Refresh Data to show the most current proxy data. You must refresh the data after an initial connection or after a proxy state has been manipulated. Because a proxy's state is dynamic, each refresh provides only a current snapshot of the proxies. The status of the data might change immediately after you refresh the data. If no users are currently logged on to the server, a window displays a message to that effect.

Click Interrupt to interrupt the proxies for a selected libref'. The proxy's activity is halted the next time it attempts to process data from its socket. The frequency with which the proxy accesses its socket is unpredictable and can vary depending on many variables. However, the proxy interrupt operation is typically the first method that you use to halt a proxy from accessing a given data set or domain.

Click Cancel to cancel all proxies in the selected libref. The proxy's activity is immediately halted, and any open data connections are immediately closed. Use this method to stop a proxy from accessing a data set or a given domain if a previous interrupt operation is unacceptably delayed.
