Sorry we dont have access to Grid yet,It would be really helpful to me if you can provide your valuable suggestions on these questions     1) Instructions on how users would submit a job to a queue   2) Instructions for configuring load balancing for EG using queues   3) How users are assigned to be able to use, or be restricted from, various queues    Thanks in advance ...

Thank you so much for your prompt reply. My Question is Instructions on How users would submit a Job to a Queue and what are the ways to submit a job to a Queue. and also How users are assigned to be able to use, or be restricted from, various queues ... View more

Thank you very much for all the valuable information you provided so in our environment the memsize,sortsize has been set in sashome in sasv9_local.cfg, actually you are saying all jobs will use by defalut all the settings in sasv9.config file and not from sasv9_local.cfg, then what is the purpose of these settings in sasv9_local.cfg.   -work    /saswork -utilloc /sasutil -memsize     0.75G -sortsize    0.75G -maxmemquery 0.5G -msymtabmax   64M The physical memory available on SAS App in our environment is 32768 Megabytes, so if we increase this does this speed up our jobs performance. as of now the performance of our running jobs are slower,and I  think we enough phyiscal memory as per below value,but still why jobs perofrmance is slower. prtconf | grep Memory Memory size: 32768 Megabytes   and as you said the disk space which has been setup for saswork and sasutil is used only for temp files which stores in saswork and sasutil  and any for other purpose.   sasdrd/sasutil     20T    6.0G   7.8T     1%    /sasutil sasdrd/saswork     20T    18G    7.8T     1%    /saswork     ...

Thank you very much for your prompt reply   when a user submits any job from Enterprise guide or SAS AMO . Does this jobs works based on or depending on the memsize, sortsize..etc that has been setup in sasv.cfg and sasv9_local.cfg or does it depends on space allocated in the file system for saswork and sasutil. And in future if the no. of users and submission of jobs increases does we need to increase file system space for saswork and sasutil or memsize, sortsize..etc  in sasv9_local.cfg. What is the purpose of the file system space, when already memszie,sort size has been setup in sasv9_local.cfg file. What exactly file system is used for ? does job ran by user from EG or AMO depends on both file system space and just only sasv9_lolcal.cfg file. If the performance of the running  jobs slowers do we need to increase the memsize, sortsize..etc  in sasv9_local.cfg or we need to increase file system space or should we increase both for better performance.   ...

we have 15 TB of space allocated for our sas, and our quota system has been removed. There is no quota for our file mountings.   This is how our file system has been setup   zsasrd                                             8.94T       5.73T    21K     /zsasprd zsasrd/sas                                      2.85T       5.73T   2.85T   /sas zsasrd/sas-sasconfig                     30.7G       5.73T   30.7G   /sas/sasconfig zsasrd/sas-saseg                          901G         5.73T   901G      /sas/saseg zsasrd/sas-oracle                          5.33G       5.73T   5.33G     /sas/oracle zsasrd/sas-home                          6.91G        5.73T   6.91G      /sas/home zsasrd/sas-sasutil                         54.2M       6.46T   54.2M        /sas/sasutil zsasrd/sas-saswork                      157G        6.31T   157G         /sas/saswork zsasrd/sas-saswork-meta               60K        5.73T    60K           /sas/saswork/meta   we have 250 sas users overall,actively 100-150 users will run reporrts,most of them run reports   when we are saying limiting space per user what are types of users will be there in sas and for each category   like for eg : power users,simillary who are other type of users   ...

The issue is related only to saswork and we do got got space issues in the past for /var /usr and other /sas file systems. but right now we want to limit the space to the users according to their role.so how from where should i start with this. I want to formulate a plan for this please. when we are saying limiting space per user what are types of users will be there and for each category how much space we can allocate please suggest me. ...

Hi sir   I had ran the cleanwork command and the files which are not in use got cleaned and some of other old directories which created in saswork with 8 chars " kxe1kech", "wkmc6rh6" I deleted manually.not sure why they are creating. I believe if users are not closing or opening there EG or othe SAS Tools properly or not closing sas tool when their work is done by the end of the Day these files might be creating.   so after cleanining the saswork with clean command, still some times the saswork file system is slowly growing and reaching 100 % and affecting other sas file systems to reach 100%. few days back I observed that saswork started growing slowly by 1 % every 10-15 mins and within 10-12hrs it reached 100 % and also It effected other file systems /sas , /sas/egs, /sas/pws/user1/ to 100%.   even though  I cleared all files  in /saswork before that and space also I checked multiple times during this increasing and its not more than 100 MB.when it reached 100 % also I checked saswork and it was 100-120 MB occupied.   My Question is Why the /sas/saswork file system  reaching 100 %  and affecting other mounting points to reach 100 % when only 100 MB space was occupied by /sas/saswork, and when /sas/sawork is occupying 24 to 130 GB space some times  it stays at 1%.   based on what the saswork is reaching 100% when it has plenty of Quota(5.5 TB) allocated for it   Filesystem                  size   used    avail   capacity    Mounted zsasdrp/sas-saswork 20T    8.2G     5.5T     1%        /sas/saswork   It should not reach 100 % right when only 100MB space has been occupied by work files in saswork file system.   Some times /sas/saswork file system occupied even 130 GB also still it was 1 % but when it occupies 100MB or even 500 KB also it slowly growing step by step and reaching 100%.   Does saswork file system works on the Quota allocated 5.5 TB (or) the space allocated in sasv9.cfg or sasv9_usermods.cfg   I would really appreciate if any one can answer and provide a resolution for this   Thanks alot in Advance ...
