In-Depth Information
In the SAS Data Integration Studio Process Editor, this option will stay in effect
for all runs of the job until it is reset or the Process Designer window is closed.
The syntax for resetting the option is as follows:
options obs=MAX;
Note:
Removing the OBS= line of code from the Process Editor does not reset the
OBS= system option. You must reset it as shown previously, or by closing the Process
Designer window.
Redirecting Large SAS Logs to a File
The SAS log for a job provides critical information about what happened when a job
was executed. However, large jobs can create large logs, which can slow down SAS Data
Integration Studio considerably. In order to avoid this problem, you can re-direct the
SAS log to a permanent file, then turn off the
Log
tab in the Process Designer window.
For details, see “Using SAS Logs to Analyze Process Flows” on page 189.
Setting SAS Options for Jobs and Transformations
When you submit a SAS Data Integration Studio job for execution, it is submitted to
a SAS Workspace Server component of the relevant SAS application server. The
relevant SAS Application Server is one of the following:
the default server that is specified on the
SAS Server
tab in the Options window
the SAS Application Server to which a job is deployed with the
Deploy for
Scheduling
option
To set SAS invocation options for all SAS Data Integration Studio jobs that are executed
by a particular SAS server, specify the options in the configuration files for the relevant
SAS Workspace Servers, batch or scheduling servers, and grid servers. (You would not
set these options on SAS Metadata Servers or SAS Stored Process Servers.) Examples
of these options include UTILLOC, NOWORKINIT, or ETLS_DEBUG. For more
information, see “Modifying Configuration Files or SAS Start Commands” on page 224.
To set SAS global options for a particular job, you can add these options to the
Pre
and Post Process
tab in the Properties window for a job. For more information, see
“Adding SAS Code to the Pre and Post Processing Tab” on page 225.
The property window for most transformations within a job has an
Options
tab with
a
System Options
field. Use the
System Options
field to specify options for a
particular transformation in a job's process flow. For more information, see “Specifying
Options for Transformations” on page 225.
For more information about SAS options, search for relevant phrases such as “system
options” and “invoking SAS” in SAS OnlineDoc.
Using SAS Logs to Analyze Process Flows
Introduction to Using SAS Logs to Analyze Process Flows
The errors, warnings, and notes in the SAS log provide information about process
flows. However, large SAS logs can decrease performance, so the costs and benefits of
large SAS logs should be evaluated. For example, in a production environment, you
might not want to create large SAS logs by default.
