Testing Your SPD Server Installation Using SAS

Testing your SPD Server installation is relatively simple. To verify, you only need to make

two SAS LIBNAME assignments using the SPD Server LIBNAME engine. The examples

in this section refer to the SASSPDS engine, the engine for SAS 9.2.

1. Start the SPD Server environment as described in step 3 of the section

2. On the SPD Server client machine, invoke SAS and make the following LIBNAME

port number that was used during the SPD Server host installation. If you are already

running SAS with an earlier version of SPD Server, this service name is probably

already defined. You can either define another service name for the SAS client to use

(for example, sp45name) or you can directly include the SPD Server port number in

your SAS statements.

and SAS htmSQL. Each of these drivers can be downloaded from the support link of

the SAS Web at

http://support.sas.com

For more information about connecting and configuring these applications, see Chapter

6 in the SAS Scalable Performance Data (SPD) Server 4.5: User's Guide, "Using SPD

Server with Other Clients.".

ODBC client applications require installation of the spds.dll application extension.

Install the ODBC client application extension as follows:

•

Install the SAS/ODBC Driver Version 9

•

Copy

InstallDir\lib\spds.dll

into

<drive letter>:\Program Files\sas\shared files\general

•

Configure an ODBC Data Source for direct SPD Server access.

Default Port and Library Assignments" on page

assignments:

libname test sasspds 'tmp' server=serverNode.port user='anonymous';

ServerNode is the Name Server's network node name and port is either the numeric

value used to start the Name Server or the named service you chose to use to access

the SPD Server Name Server. Remember that name services allow you to connect to a

Name Server using a character string instead of specifying a port number. Assuming

you used the default numeric port assignment of 5400, your assignment would look

like:

libname test sasspds 'tmp' server=serverNode.5400 user='anonymous';

Or if you were using spdsname to provide named services, your assignment would

resemble this:

libname test sasspds 'tmp' server=serverNode.spdsname user='anonymous';

In addition, you should verify that the Row Level Integrity LIBNAME assignment

works correctly:

libname testrl sasspds 'tmp' server=serverNode.port user='anonymous' locking=YES;
