Configuring the Communication Component on Windows

Configuring the Communication Component on Windows

Use the SPI Server Configuration in the
Start
menu to start the configuration tool on Windows.
Use the SPI Server Configuration to configure the TCP/IP port where the SPI Server listens to find the SPI Server log file, the SPI Server users, and passwords.
You must configure the following SAS environment:
  • Working Directory Path:
    Enter the directory from which SAS runs.
  • Autoexec Name:
    Enter the file name that SAS uses as its initialization file.
You can use the initialization file to assign SAS Library Names or SAS Libnames that must be accessible by both the Designer and the PowerCenter sessions accessing the SAS data.
The following is an example of a SAS autoexec file:
/* Sample SAS autoexec file */ LIBNAME whdata 'W:\data\saswhdata' ; LIBNAME oltp 'W:\data\sales\2008Q1' ;
For a valid
LIBNAME
syntax and options, see the
SAS
documentation.
