Usage Note 43988: How to change the WORK library path for your SAS® Business Intelligence Servers
 |  |  |  |
The WORK library path for servers in a SAS®: Business Intelligence environment defaults to the location defined using the -WORK system option in the !SASROOT/nls/en/sasv9.cfg file. To change the -WORK system option for one or more SAS Business Intelligence servers, you can specify the -WORK system option in the appropriate sasv9_usermods.cfg file as is described below.
An example of specifying the -WORK system option for Windows platforms would be:
-work "c:\path\different_directory";
An example for UNIX platforms would be:
-work "/path/different_directory";
- To change the WORK library path for ALL servers under the SASMeta application server context, which normally includes the SAS® Metadata Server, SAS Workspace Server and SAS Batch Server, you would add the -WORK option to the <BIConfigDir>\Lev1\SASMeta\sasv9_usermods.cfg file.
- To change the WORK library path for ALL servers under the SASApp application server context (or any other application server context), which normally includes the SAS® Stored Process Server, standard SAS Workspace Server, SAS Pooled Workspace Server, and possibly a SAS® OLAP Server, you would add the -WORK option to the <BIConfigDir>\Lev1\<AppServerContext>\sasv9_usermods.cfg file.
- To change the WORK library path to a unique location for selected servers, you would add the -WORK option to the <BIConfigDir>\Lev1\<AppServerContext>\<ServerDir>\sasv9_usermods.cfg file. For example, to change the WORK library path for only the SAS Stored Process Server defined in the SASApp application server context you would add the -WORK option to the <BIConfigDir>\Lev1\SASApp\StoredProcessServer\sasv9_usermods.cfg file.
Note: You must ensure that folder or directory permissions are set at the operating system level so that the WORK library location on the file system can be written to by the necessary user accounts.
