SMC/SDM Launching on Unix

japsas100 — Sun, 13 Sep 2020 13:40:04 GMT

Hello,

We are always facing some issues while launching SAS Management Console via x server. We tried with Putty-Xming, Moboxterm, Exceed problem is that some time launching and some time its not launching. Any Advise please?

Can we install all the these tools/Plugins on window instead on launching from unix?

You can install SMC thick client on desktop to connect. For SDM you will have to launch it from server. You can use console mode if issues with x11

If you are sometimes switching from dual-monitor (e g on-site) to single screen desktop (e g Work From Home) then you might lose sight of the SMC or SDM (SDW) UI since these clients - Unix version - save the user screen coordinates into some hidden technical file (SMC => $HOME/.SASAppData/SASManagementConsole/9.4/app.smc). This in order to restore the client X11 UI at the same place next time it is launched. Cleaning up the files (app.*) shall harmlessly restore the centered position whether your Windows desktop has single or multiple displays.HTH

Since you work on a BI server, your SAS depot will contain the standalone installer for Enterprise Guide. And you should try out SAS Studio, which, as a web app, is much more forgiving to short interruptions in network connection. Both can be used as a (in my eyes superior) replacement for Display Manager.
