Submitting SAS jobs

Create/submit/monitor your jobs via the EnginFrame portal (link to the actual portal opens in a new window)

Create a submission script and submit your job via LoadLeveler. A sample script is attached:

Submission Script

An updated submission script for SAS 9.2:

#!/bin/ksh
# @ error = default.$(jobid).err
# @ output = default.$(jobid).out
# @ environment = MP_SHARED_MEMORY=yes; COPY_ALL
# @ class = dev_small
# @ job_type = parallel
# @ env_copy = all
######################################################
# @ initialdir = /gpfs/home/jklc/sastest
######################################################
# @ restart = no
# @ node = 1
# @ tasks_per_node = 1
# @ resources = ConsumableCpus? (4)
# @ queue
export OMP_NUM_THREADS= 4
######################################################
######################################################
/gpfs/common/apps/SAS/SAS_9.2/SASFoundation/9.2/bin/sas_en /gpfs/home/jklc/sastest/sort1.sas -cpucount 4 -threads -memsize 256M -sortsize 128M

Please replace the colored elements with values suitable for your job. Note that the number of CPUs (cores) appears three times in the script (blue color). This script is for a job with 4 CPUs. So, the number 4 is on the "@resources = ConsumableCpus? " line, on the "export OMP_NUM_THREADS" line, and on the last line as the -cpucount parameter for the sas command. Please, refer to URSA and LoadLeveler documentation for more detailed information. If you need help with creating customized submission scripts, please contact the research computing staff via HelpDesk.
