Introduction
SAS SPD Server 4.4 provides a performance monitoring server called spdsperf . The SPD
Server Performance Server is an optional component and is not required for normal
operation of SPD Server.
The purpose of the SPD Server Performance Server is to gather SPD Server process
performance information and to post it to the SPD Server Management section of the SAS
Management Console application. The SPD Server performance information consists of
memory and resource allocations by users, and SPD Server processes spawned by an SPD
Server Name Server. All SPD Server users must connect to an SPD Server Name Server
before their SPD Server session is spawned. Each SPD Server Name Server owns a dynamic
family of subordinate SPD Server processes that are created and terminated by SPD Server
users and jobs.
The SPD Server Performance server information is stored in the SAS Management
Console. The SAS Management Console has a folder that is reserved for SPD Server
management. The
SPD Management folder is a child to the Environmental
Management folder in SAS Management Console. When you expand the SPD
Management folder, the bottom-most utility is the SPD Process Profiler . When you
highlight the SPD Process Profiler utility, the process information table that is located in
the right panel displays performance summary statistics. Each row in the performance
summary statistics table provides information about a single SPD Server process that was
spawned on the SPD Server Name Server residing at the specified PID, or port ID.
