I'm running SAS Studio on Linux - is it possible to turn on xcmd only for certain users instead of system-wide?  If so, how is that done? ... View more

Originally I had this value set to 4GB, however many users programs could not execute - so then i upped it to 22GB and several users programs still could not execute.  As a test I upped it to 64GB, and all programs could execute, but this scares me as I don't think this value should be that high.  The users do work with quite large datasets - but is there anything they can do on their end to limit the amount of memory their programs require?  What would be the ideal MEMSIZE setting for a server like this - or does it totally depend on the size of the datasets users are working with?   ...

Is there a way to open an excel or csv file in SAS Studio (the same way that Word Documents and PDF documents open externally) rather than importing it?  If I right click on a csv or xlsx, the open option is greyed out.  If I right click on a word or pdf document, I can open them - which then allow me to view them locally using word/reader. I would like that same functionality for excel. ... View more

Have one physical server and one virtual server.  Programs run on the virtual server seem to take longer.  I have enabled performance logging.  One thing I have noticed is that on the slower server, the value of Block Input Operations is always 0 - this is not the case on the faster physical server.  The CPU clock speed is faster on the virtual server (2.3 vs 2.0ghz)   faster physical server: NOTE: There were 87651 observations read from the data set NOTE: PROCEDURE PRINT used (Total process time): real time 34:12:29.27 user cpu time 34:11:31.35 system cpu time 51.16 seconds memory 59511.96k OS Memory 72964.00k Timestamp 08/10/2018 10:50:41 PM Step Count 2 Switch Count 0 Page Faults 95 Page Reclaims 29512917 Page Swaps 0 Voluntary Context Switches 2278 Involuntary Context Switches 56795 Block Input Operations 418712 Block Output Operations 1298184   69 ods csv close; NOTE: The SAS System used: real time 35:07:26.82 user cpu time 35:06:05.80 system cpu time 1:05.83 memory 66841.34k OS Memory 72964.00k Timestamp 08/10/2018 10:50:41 PM Step Count 2 Switch Count 20 Page Faults 229 Page Reclaims 29610854 Page Swaps 0 Voluntary Context Switches 47504 Involuntary Context Switches 60589 Block Input Operations 923088 Block Output Operations 1669976 slower virtual server: NOTE: There were 87651 observations read from the data set NOTE: PROCEDURE PRINT used (Total process time): real time 37:10:44.68 user cpu time 37:09:48.54 system cpu time 52.78 seconds memory 61736.18k OS Memory 77348.00k Timestamp 08/11/2018 01:42:20 AM Step Count 2 Switch Count 0 Page Faults 0 Page Reclaims 15173 Page Swaps 0 Voluntary Context Switches 2519 Involuntary Context Switches 41989 Block Input Operations 0 Block Output Operations 1298184 67 ods csv close; NOTE: The SAS System used: real time 37:59:02.81 user cpu time 37:57:21.07 system cpu time 1:38.17 memory 70975.18k OS Memory 77348.00k Timestamp 08/11/2018 01:42:20 AM Step Count 2 Switch Count 20 Page Faults 0 Page Reclaims 23818 Page Swaps 0 Voluntary Context Switches 2749 Involuntary Context Switches 48514 Block Input Operations 0 Block Output Operations 1639480 any ideas why its so much slower on the virtual server?  Does it have anything to do with Block Input Operations? ...

in config.properties, I have set allowDownload=false and that works to remove the ability to download files - however I would also like to restrict the ability to download output results in PDF, etc to the local computer (or email them).  Is there anyway to do that?   currently in the results tab its possible to download results in PDF, RTF, "download generated data" - all to the local compuer, print, and email results - I don't want any of those features available. ...
