SAS 9.1.3 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide

Using the ARM_OMA Subsystem R Understanding the Records Written by the ARM_OMA Subsystem 79
Start or Stop ARM Logging on a Running Server
The following is an example of PROC METAOPERATE statements that enable ARM
logging on a running SAS Metadata Server:
PROC METAOPERATE
SERVER="host-name"
PORT=port-number
USERID="administrative-userID"
PASSWORD="password"
ACTION=REFRESH
OPTIONS=""
NOAUTOPAUSE;
RUN;
Note: The double-double quotation marks are required in the OPTIONS string. R
These statements specify that the ARM log is to be called armfile.log and is to be
written to the logs subdirectory of the MetadataServer directory.
To disable ARM logging, execute a similar request that does the following:
3 specifies "(ARM_NONE)" in the ARMSUBSYS= system option
3 omits the ARMLOC system option
Understanding the Records Written by the ARM_OMA Subsystem
The ARM_OMA subsystem writes records to the ARM log that include processing
information for SAS Metadata Server methods, functions, and XML requests.
Notes:
3 The user ID field in ARM_OMA records is a fixed 8 characters in length and
contains the last 8 characters of the requesting user’s host user ID.
3 The last field in records that write the metadata-type::method or
metadata-type::function is limited to 32 characters. Therefore, the text in this field
might be truncated.
3 Field 9 in P-records and in U-records that have a value is a fixed 8 characters in
length. Valid values are 0 (zero), 1, 2, or a return code. When the value is 0, 1, or
2, the number is right-justified in field 9. For example:
U,1326479606.58200,1,1,4,2.403456,3.989155,sastst , 0,Columns::add
When the return code is non-zero, it is expressed as hexadecimal:
U,1326479606.58200,1,1,4,2.403456,3.989155,sastst ,807FE835,TablePackage::get
The following records are written to the ARM log:
I (initialization)
record
is an initialization record. One record is written at session start,
regardless of how many ARM subsystems have been armed. It
starts with an I, followed by the SAS datetime value for session
start, an application ID, a user start time, a system start time, an
application name, and a user ID. Here is an example:
I,1346020250.357000,1,0.330475,0.410590,SAS,sastst
