SAS 9.1.3 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide

Enabling the Scheduling of Reports R Step 7: Verify the Configuration File for the Output Generation Tool 225
2 Update the permissions on the logs directory to give Write access to the SAS
Server Users group. (This group should contain the user ID lsfuser.)
Step 6: Edit the Initialization File for the Output Generation Tool
(Windows Only)
On Windows systems, you must edit the initialization file for the Output Generation
Tool to specify the directory location of the logs that are created when a scheduled
report is executed. Complete the following steps:
1 Open the outputgen.ini file in a text editor. The file is located in the installation
directory for SAS Query and Reporting Services.
2 Locate the line that starts with:
;LogDirectory=
3 Delete the semicolon at the beginning of the line (which marks the line as a
comment).
4 After the equal sign, enter the path to the directory in which you want the tool to
create the log file. This should be the same directory that you created in “Step 5:
Create a Log Directory for the Output Generation Tool, and Apply Appropriate
Directory Permissions” on page 224.
5 Verify that the CommandToExecute property is set to
C:\j2sdk1.4.2_05\bin\java.exe. This is the path to the Java Runtime
Environment that the Output Generation Tool will use. Be sure that the reference
to the executable file includes the .exe extension. This version of the Java SDK
must be installed on the system.
6 Save your changes.
Step 7: Verify the Configuration File for the Output Generation Tool
When you installed SAS Query and Reporting Services, the installation process
created a configuration file for the Output Generation Tool. To verify that the
configuration file is correct, follow these steps:
1 Open the file called OutputManagementConfigTemplate.xml, which is located in
the installation directory for SAS Query and Reporting Services (on the scheduling
server). For a default Windows installation, the file is located in the following path:
C:\Program Files\SAS\SASQueryandReportingServices\3.1
For a default UNIX installation, the file is located in the following path:
SAS-install-dir/SASQueryandReportingServices/3.1/
2 In this file, verify that the user ID and password for the SAS Trusted User
(sastrust) are specified correctly, as shown here:
sastrust
encodedPassword
true
If the element includes a domain, then either remove the domain or make
sure that the domain is followed by a forward slash (/) rather than a backward
slash (\).
