SAS® Integration Technologies: Administrator's Guide (LDAP Version)

Using ITConfig to Test Connections
The SAS Integration Technologies configuration utility (ITConfig) allows you to test IOM Bridge connections from
your local machine to a SAS Workspace Server or SAS Metadata Server. You can retrieve the server definition from a
metadata server or define the server manually.
The test program used by ITConfig is a small SAS program that verifies the following information about the server
environment:
• events are returned
• the WORK data set is properly configured
• the location of the SASUSER directory
• the state of other SAS options.
