SAS Safety Scalable Performance Data Server 4.5 Manuel D’Utilisation

When using automatic server log cycling or audit log cycling, remember to periodically
clean the log files. Proper log file maintenance includes archiving logs using secondary or
long-term storage.

Many users only retain a few generations of log files for quick reference. A shell script that
runs on a regular basis (such as CRONTAB) is a good way to perform log maintenance on
your server machine.

The 

 command supports the following options:

-parmfile file-spec

Allows you to specify an explicit file path for the SPD Server host's parameter file.
This file is mandatory and contains any SPD Server options. If this option is omitted,
the SPD Server host assumes a parameter file named spdsserv.parm is in the process's
current working directory. Option declarations in this file are of the following form:

Option[ = Value];

The recognized -PARMFILE option names are listed, but full descriptions are only
available in online documentation. Most sites do not need to modify the default values
in 

. For more information about the

parameter file, see "Setting Up SPD Server Parameter Files" in the SAS Scalable
Performance Data (SPD) Server 4.5: User's Guide.For more information about setting
up server parameters, see

-acldir pwd-dir-path

Specifies the directory path to the SPD Server host SPD Server password file. This
option can be omitted if the PASSPATH option is declared in the SPD Server host's -
PARMFILE option. A valid SPD Server password file is required even when running
with the -NOACL option. You must use the SPD Server psmgr utility to create the
password file and to populate it with the set of valid SPD Server user IDs.

-noacl

Disables SPD Server login validation for SPD Server LIBNAME engine connections
to the SPD Server host. 

-nameserver node-name

Specifies the node name where the Name Server process is running. This does not need
to be the same node that is hosting the SPD Server host processes. This option is
required.

-nameserverport port#

Allows you to specify an explicit TCP port number for the SPD Server host to use to
connect to its Name Server. If no port is specified, the Name Server queries the system
for a registered port address using the service name spdsname. 

-libnamefile file-spec

Specifies the name of the file that contains the logical LIBNAME domain definitions
that the SPD Server host supports. LIBNAME definitions can span multiple lines and
must begin with the LIBNAME=name keyword. For more information about SPD
Server LIBNAME parameter files, see 

.

-logfile fileSpec

Selects automatic server log file creation by the logger process. 

 specifies

a partial path or filename specification that is used to generate the complete log file
path. For example, if you specified 

 as 

, the generated name

would appear as: 

, where

 and 

 are taken from the system time when the log file is created.

-logtime hh:mm

Specifies a time of day to cycle a new generation of the server log file. At this time
each day, the previous log file is closed and new log file is opened.
