SAS Scalable Performance Data Server 4.5, Administrator'S Manual

Page: 56 / 271

SAS job which processes the audit log and produces a report is provided. Check
samples
\audit.sas
for information about processing the audit log and generating the report. To
enable the audit trail log, use the spdsserv command with the -auditfile option.
When using automatic server log cycling or audit log cycling, you should periodically clean
up the log files. Proper log file maintenance normally includes archiving logs using
secondary or long-term storage. Many users only retain a few generations for quick
reference. A shell script which runs on a regular basis (such as crontab) is a good way to
perform log maintenance on your server machine.
The spdsserv command supports the following options:
-parmfile file-spec
Allows you to specify an explicit file path for the SPD Server host's parameter file.
This file is mandatory and contains any SPD Server options. If this option is omitted,
the SPD Server host assumes a parameter file spdsserv.parm in the process's current
working directory. Option declarations in this file are of the form:
Option[ = Value];
The recognized -parmfile option names are listed here, but are described in more detail
in the online documentation. Most sites need not modify the defaults in
InstallDir
\site\spdsserv.parm
. For more detailed information about server parameters,
see the SPD Server Administrator's Guide section on “Introduction” on page
112 "Setting Up SPD Server Parameter Files."
-acldir pwd-dir-path
Specifies the directory path to the SPD Server host password file. This option can be
omitted if the PASSPATH= option is declared in the SPD Server host's
-parmfile . A
valid SPD Server password file is required even when running with the -noacl option.
You must use the SPD Account Manager utility to create the password file and populate
it with the set of valid SPD Server user IDs.
-noacl
Disables SPD Server login validation for SPD Server LIBNAME engine connections
to the SPD Server host.
-nameserver node-name
Specifies the node name where the Name Server process is running. This does not need
to be the same node that is hosting the SPD Server host processes. This option is
required.
-nameserverport port#
Allows you to specify an explicit TCP port number for the SPD Server host to use to
connect to its Name Server. If no port is specified, the Name Server queries the system
for a registered port address using the service name "spdsname".
-libnamefile file-spec
Specifies the name of the file that contains the logical LIBNAME domain definitions
that the SPD Server host supports. LIBNAME definitions can span multiple lines and
must begin with the LIBNAME=name keyword. Each LIBNAME definition must be
terminated with a ";" character.
-logfile fileSpec
Selects automatic server log file creation by the logger process. fileSpec specifies a
partial path/file name parameter that is used to generate the complete log file path. For
example if you specified fileSpec as
\DOWNlogs\spds
, the generated name would
appear as follows:
\DOWNlogs\spds_
mmddyyyy_hh:mm:ss.spdslog
