Configuring the Communication Component on Windows

To start the configuration tool on Windows, use the SPI Server Configuration in the Start menu. Use SPI Server Configuration tool to configure the TCP/IP port where the SPI Server listens, the location of the SPI Server log file, and the SPI Server users and passwords.
You must also configure the SAS environment.
  • Working Directory Path: Enter the directory from which SAS runs.
  • Autoexec Name: Enter the file name that SAS uses as the initialization file.
In the SAS initialization file, you can assign SAS libraries or libnames that must be accessible by the Developer tool to access the SAS metadata, and by the Data Integration Service to access the SAS data.
The following snippet shows a sample SAS autoexec file: xe "SAS autoexec file:
/* Sample SAS autoexec file */ LIBNAME whdata 'W:\data\saswhdata' ; LIBNAME oltp 'W:\data\sales\2008Q1' ;
For more information about valid LIBNAME syntax and options, see the SAS documentation.
