For details about using SAS Management Console, from
the SAS Management Console menu bar, select

Help on SAS Management Console.
For more information about the fields in the New Server Wizard, click Help from

Defining a Server and Logical Server in a New SAS Application Server
To define a new server, logical server, and SAS Application
Server:
From the navigation tree, select the Server Manager, and then select Actions New Server from the menu bar. The New Server Wizard appears. A list of resource templates is displayed. Select SAS Application Server. Click Next. Enter the Name and Description. The name that you specify will be the name of the SAS Application Server. Click Next. Verify that the Minor Version Number, Major Version Number, Software Version. and the Vendor are correct. Click Next. A list of defined server resource templates is displayed. Select the type of server you want to define. The type that you choose will be the type of the first logical server and server in the SAS Application Server. For example, if you select workplace server as the server type, then the SAS Application Server will contain a logical workspace server which in turn contains a workspace server. Click Next. Select Custom and click Next. Verify that the Minor Version Number, Major Version Number, Software Version, and the Vendor are correct.
The Command field is not used with COM; leave this field unchanged. The Object Server Parameters field is optional. It can be used to supplement the OBJECTSERVERPARMS values that are specified on the server invocation command line. See Server Startup Command for details. To continue configuring the server, see the appropriate topic for your type of server:
Note: Because a SAS Stored Process Server should be run by a load-balancing
spawner, it should be defined with an IOM Bridge connection only. Running a SAS
Stored Process Server with a COM connection is not recommended.
