SAS Scalable Performance Data Server 4.5, Administrator'S Manual

Page: 90 / 271

The SPD Server Performance Server gathers SPD Server process performance information
and distributes it across the SPD Management section of the SAS Management Console.
The SPD Server process performance information consists of memory and resource
allocations that are attributable to users and SPD Server processes that are spawned by an
SPD Server Name Server. All SPD Server users must connect to an SPD Server Name
Server before their SPD Server session can be 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.
To access a server's process performance information, the SPD Server Performance Server
application
spdsperf must be running for the targeted SPD Server Name Server. SAS
Management Console must be able to connect to the SPD Server Performance Server's
listening port.
Like the other SPD Management utilities, you must first connect the SPD Process Profiler
to the SPD Server Performance Server. Click
Connect in the SPD Process Profiler to open
the Connect to SPD Profile Server dialog box.
Enter your host name or server name, and the SPD Server Performance Server's listening
port, and then click
Connect . (The SPD Server Performance Server's listening port number
is specified when you start the SPD Server Performance Server application.)
Once SAS Management Console is connected to the SPD Server Performance Server, the
information that the Performance Server captures is displayed.
