@AnandVyas I just wanted to list all the datasources configured in SAS. We don't have any installation documents for this.   Could you please help me with the steps to check in SMC for the servers created for outbound access of data library?   Many Thanks! ... View more

Thank you @SASKiwi and@AnandVyas for your suggestions, we are planning to remove SAS installer from metadata. For some reason, SAS installer account gets locked often from one of the test servers and that's the reason we're planning to have separate ones for prod and test.   @AnandVyas I'm curious to know if we could use other user accounts with admin privileges to start/stop services? (as suggested by @SASKiwi ). Do you think doing so would cause any undesirable effects?   Thanks! ... View more

@JuanS_OCS Thanks! We have a requirement to do it through EGO. Do you think it is a good idea to add our metadata server to the cluster (close it for accepting job) and then trying EGO would work? ... View more

@SASKiwi isn't it the best practice to use SAS installer account to start/stop SAS services? Please advise me if I'm wrong. By admin privileges do you mean at OS level? I've never used another account than SAS installer to start/stop SAS services. ... View more

The reason is to have two separate installer accounts for test and prod environments. Now that the environments are built already with the same installer account, we want to atleast minimize the utilization of installer account in test environment. We have created another service account (to use instead of SAS installer account) with same OS level privileges of the installer account and we want to use that account for all SAS admin and monitoring operations. So if I remove the SAS installer account's metadata profile, would I still be able to start/stop services with it? How could I achieve very minimal usage of the original installer account? ...

@JuanS_OCS the new parameter didn't get effective on badmin reconfig, I've had to restart mbatchd to make it work. Thanks for the LSF links! ... View more

@JuanS_OCS Those links were really helpful! Thank you.   I'm going to reconfigure lsf.conf to make RES sessions to check SAS jobs status executing under it every X seconds. I believe that doesn't require to restart SBD after the reconfiguration. Let me know what you think please.   Thanks! ... View more

Thank you for replying! @JuanS_OCS I just want to make the changes I made to the lsf.conf effective, do you think using badmin reconfig instead of badmin mbdrestart would serve the purpose? Thanks! ... View more

@alexal I agree, but is there any limitations with using these special characters in SAS Studio and not in EG? Thank you ... View more

@alexal We use windows server 2012 and the programs can be stored both locally and on NFS. It's up to the users. ... View more
