SAS/CONNECT User's Guide

Example 1 - Define an Agent

This example defines the agent REPORTS to run on Thursday evening at 8:30 p.m. It invokes the Preview window in which the user enters the SAS statements that are needed to run at the specified time.

init:

station_c = 
   loadclass('sashelp.connect.station.class');
station_i = instance(station_c);

collection = 'acollection';
call send(station_i, '_open', collection, rc);

agent_c = loadclass('sashelp.connect.agent');
agent_i = instance(agent_c);

domain = 'tcp//mynode.xyz.com/domsvr';
call send(agent_i, '_setDomainInfo', domain,
          collection, rc, "", station_i);

   /* display Preview window so user can   */
   /* enter SAS statements to define       */
   /* to agent                             */
rc = preview('EDIT');

agentname = "reports";
description = 
   'Agent that runs thursday night report.';

   /* location of where agent actually     */
   /* runs, which differs from domain name */
   /* which specifies the DOMAIN server    */
   /* where the agent is defined           */
runloc = 'tcp//mainnode.xyz.com/myserv';

   /* valid userid and password for the    */
   /* system on which the agent actually   */
   /* runs (run location)                  */
security = 'userid.password';

   /* notification queue name              */
nqueue = "checkq";

   /* set schedule list so that agent runs */
   /* every thursday at 8:30 p.m.          */
schedule = makelist();

rc = insertc(schedule,  20, -1, "RUN_HOUR");
rc = insertc(schedule,  30, -1, "RUN_MINUTE");
rc = insertc(schedule,  5, -1, "RUN_DOW");
call putlist(schedule, 'scheduled list' ,2);
call send(agent_i, '_defineAgent', 
          agentname, rc, description,
          runloc, security, schedule,
          nqueue, "COMPLETE", "RETAIN");

   /* clear preview buffer                 */
rc = preview('clear');

return;
