Chapter 9: Using Windows System Tools with SAS


Introduction to Using Windows System Tools with SAS

Advanced users and system administrators can start SAS by using Windows services and monitor SAS by using Windows event logging and performance tools.

SAS supports logging of error messages to the Windows Event Viewer's Application Log. Abnormal termination of SAS tasks (such as an access violation) can be viewed in the Application Log in addition to the SAS Log. Also, informational messages from SAS/CONNECT software may be viewed in the Application Log. For more information, see 'Event Viewer Application Log' on page 222.

Using either the Windows Performance Monitor under Windows NT or the Windows System Monitor under Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Window Server 2003, you can monitor your SAS sessions to obtain the information that you need to diagnose problems and tune your session. For more information, see 'Performance Tools' on page 226.

You can start SAS as a Windows service, which enables you to start SAS automatically and to specify recovery procedures if SAS fails. For more information, see 'Starting SAS as a Windows Service' on page 231.
