LOCAL server could not be connected

[don21]

Hi,

I am trying to schedule my programs using SAS MANAGEMENT CONSOL, for that I need to set up the connection (LOCAL atleat as there is no server). When tried I get the below message: Please advise:

Connection failed
Could not establish a connection to the SAS server on the requested machine. Verify that the SAS server has been started with the -objectserver option or that the SAS spawner has been started. Verify that the port Combridge is attempting to connect to is the same as the port SAS (or the spawner) is listening on.

Do you have a metadata server licensed at all? It needs to be configured and started.

(I guess you need Integration Technologies licensed for the metadata server to work)

@Kurt_Bremser sorry if my query sounds stupid but, how do I find out if I am licensed for that?

Thanks

To see your licenses, run proc setinit.

Who set up the SAS system? That person could easily tell you if (s)he needed to configure the metadata server.

And you should be able to identify a running metadata server by its starting script, which would be called from SASCONF/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer.
