Attributes for sasServer

The sasServer object class contains startup and connection information for an instance of a SAS object server. The sasServer object class is defined using the attributes listed in the following table. For each attribute, the table shows:

• The name that identifies the attribute on the LDAP server (or in the configuration file). Under each attribute name, the table shows the corresponding tab and field name in the IT Administrator application.

• "Required" or "Optional" to indicate whether the attribute is required.

• The type of server configuration (COM/DCOM or IOM Bridge) for which the attribute is used.

• A definition of the attribute.

For step-by-step instructions on defining the metadata for an IOM Bridge server, refer to Using the IT Administrator Wizard to Define a Server and Spawner (IOM Bridge) or Using IT Administrator to Define a Server (IOM Bridge). If you are not using an LDAP server, you can use a configuration file to define the server. For instructions, see Using a Configuration File to Define the Metadata (IOM Bridge).

For step-by-step instructions on defining the metadata for a COM/DCOM server, refer to Using the IT Administrator Wizard to Define a Server COM/DCOM or Using IT Administrator to Define a Server (COM/DCOM). If you are not using an LDAP server, you can use a configuration file to define the server. For instructions, see Using a Configuration File to Define the Metadata (COM/DCOM).

sasServer Attribute Definitions
Attribute Name	Required/ Optional	Server Type	Definition
description In IT Administrator:: Description	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	Text to summarize why this object definition exists.
objectClass In IT Administrator: N/A	Required	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The object class identifier. For sasServer objects, this is always sasServer. If you use IT Administrator, this identifier is assigned automatically.
sasClientEncryptionAlgorithm In IT Administrator: Encryption (IOM)    Client Algorithm	Optional	IOM Bridge	The encryption algorithm that is supported on the client side of the connection. Valid values are: RC2, RC4, DES, Triple DES, and SAS Proprietary, depending on the country in which the SAS software is licensed. See SAS/SECURE for more information regarding this attribute.
sasCommand In IT Administrator: Commands  Command for non OS/390	Required	IOM Bridge (except OS/390)	The command used to launch SAS as an object server. With the command, specify the path relative to the directory in which the spawner will be started. If you are using a configuration file instead of LDAP, then paths with embedded blanks must be in quotation marks (or, for Windows platforms, double quotation marks). If the server is on an OS/390 platform, leave this attribute empty.
sasDomainName In IT Administrator: Connections    Domain	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The security domain in which the sasServer definition participates. In IOM bridge servers configurations, the spawner definition must have the same domain name as the server definition. The spawner uses the domain name, along with the machine name and logical name, to determine which server(s) it services. The lack of a domain is considered a domain; therefore, if the sever definition has no domain name, it will be associated only with spawners that have no domain name.
sasLogicalName In IT Administrator: Logical Names	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The logical names associated with this sasServer definition. In IOM bridge servers configurations, the spawner uses logical names (along with machine names and domain names) to determine which server(s) it services. If logical names are specified, then only those sasSpawner (or sasDependentSpawner) instances that include all of the logical names that are defined here will support this sasServer. If you are using a configuration file instead of LDAP, specify each logical name as a separate attribute and value pair. For a general discussion of logical names, refer to Assigning Logical Names.
sasMachineDNSName In IT Administrator: Machines	Required	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The DNS (domain name service) name(s) and IP address(es) for the machine(s) on which this server definition may execute. Multiple values can be assigned to this attribute. The machine name must be the official network name (for example, machine.corp.com). The string localhost can be used to signify the host on which the associated spawner is executing.
sasMaxPerWorkspacePool In IT Administrator: Workspace Pool    Maximum Workspaces per Workspace Pool	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	For connection pooling, specifies the maximum number of workspaces that should be available for a workspace pool that is established on this server. A good starting place for this number is the number of CPUs that are available on the machine that is running SAS.
sasNetEncrAlg In IT Administrator: Encryption (IOM)    Server Algorithms	Optional	IOM Bridge	The encryption algorithms that are supported by the launched object server. Multiple values can be assigned to this attribute. Valid values are: RC2, RC4, DES, TRIPLEDES, and SASPROPRIETARY, depending on the country in which the SAS software is licensed. See SAS/SECURE for more information regarding this attribute.
sasPluName In IT Administrator: Commands    OS/390 Partner Logical Unit Name	Required	IOM Bridge (OS/390 only)	The Partner Logical Unit name that the spawner is to use, in conjunction with the sasTPName, to launch the object server. Provide this attribute only if the server is on an OS/390 platform.
sasPort In IT Administrator: Connections    IOM Bridge    Port	Required if server will have Java clients	IOM Bridge	The port on which to connect to this object server. If neither sasPort nor sasService is specified, the spawner will attempt to use the service name sasobjspawn as the sasService. If sasobjspawn has been used already, the spawner will remove this sasService definition from its list. The port number is required if the server will have Java clients.
sasProtocol In IT Administrator: Connections    Protocol	Required	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The protocol (bridge, com, or corba) that clients may use for connection. The protocol bridge must be used for servers that are serviced by the spawner. These include all non-Windows servers, as well as Windows servers that will be accessed by Java clients.
sas-RecycleActivationLimit In IT Administrator: Workspace Pool    Recycle Activation Limit	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	For connection pooling, specifies the number of times a server is used before the process is disposed of and a new process is used in pooling. A value of 0 indicates that the process will have no limit.
sasRequiredEncryptionLevel In IT Administrator: Encryption  Encrypt	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The level of encryption to be used between the client and the object server. None means no encryption is performed; Credentials means that only user credentials (id and password) are encrypted; and Everything means that all communications between the client and server are encrypted.
sasServercn In IT Administrator: Name	Required	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	The unique name for this sasServer object.
sas-ServerRunForever In IT Administrator: Workspace Pool    Server Process Shutdown  Leave running when idle	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	For connection pooling, specifies that an idle server should always remain running. If the value of this attribute is true, the server always remains running. If the value is false, the idle server runs for the length of time specified in the sasServerShutdownAfter attribute.
sas-ServerShutdownAfter In IT Administrator:: Workspace Pool    Server Process Shutdown  Minute until idle shutdown	Optional	COM/DCOM, IOM Bridge	For connection pooling, specifies the number of minutes after which an idle server should be shut down. The value must be between 0 and 1440. The default value is 3. This attribute is ignored if the value of sasServerRunForever is true.
sasService In IT Administrator: Connections IOM Bridge Service	Optional	IOM Bridge	The service in which to connect to this object server. If you specify a value for both sasService and sasPort, then the value for sasService will be ignored. If neither sasPort nor sasService is specified, the spawner will attempt to use the service name sasobjspawn as the sasService. If sasobjspawn has been used already, the spawner will remove this sasService definition from its list. Note: If the server will have Java clients, specify a sasPort instead of a sasService.
sasTpName In IT Administrator:: Commands OS/390 Transaction Program Name	Required	IOM Bridge (OS/390 only)	The name of the Transaction Program that the spawner is to use in conjunction with the sasPLUName to launch the object server. Provide this attribute only if the server is on an OS/390 platform.
