Flow Manager in SAS Clients

barbe1lj — Tue, 26 Apr 2022 18:45:48 GMT

I am experiencing an issue that I am looking for any suggestions for. I have a team of about 5 that we all currently running and troubleshooting SAS 9.4 jobs for (Test, Dev and Prod environments) in Flow Manager. We currently have to remote into our SAS clients box to use Flow manager. Only one user can log into the remote box at a time. So we are constantly either kicking team members off or have to double check to make sure it is ok to log in. Has anyone experienced issues with this? Any recommendations on how to not have too many hands in a pot situation? Can you install Flow Manager on desktops?

Thank you so much for your time.

There's no problem installing Flow Manager on all required desktops, typically on all SAS administrators' PCs. It's what we do. The limitation with the number of Windows remote connections is a Microsoft licensing limit and nothing to do with SAS or Flow Manager.

In agreement with @SASKiwi

An optional implementation that we us is to install Flow Manager on a MS Windows server and using Citrix make that available to all SAS developers who have responsibility around scheduling.
