Included are some highlights that I have seen and already reaped the benefits of. Take a look, I'm sure there is a one item that you will also enjoy!

• Logging Levels

Within the Management Console, for several of the Servers you can connect and view the logs immediately - without having to go into the Lev1/SASMain (now SASApp in 9.2) folder.

• Current Connections to System

In the same light, once connected to the server in SAS Management Console, you can view who is connected to the system at that time, when the connection was initiated, and control the connection. Thinking about a rouge process that one of your EG users failed to notify you of? It works quite well!

• Folders View

Instead of a 'BIP Tree', there is an entire Folder view. You can now organize all content (read OLAP Cubes, Stored Processes, Data Tables, etc) into Folders that have appropriate authorization access. This reduces the security management of individual tables, stored processes, etc.

• Stopping/Starting Services from Console

Without logging into the physical server environment or using .sh scripts in a UNIX putty session - you can directly manage the restart of a service from SAS Management Console.

• Plug In Manager (authorizing certain users access to certain plugins)

At an individual manner, you can allow different SAS Management Console users different areas of the various elements in the SAS Management Console.

• Manage Web Deployments in Configuration Manager

After a customer decided to modify the port that jBoss runs on, we didn't have to reconfigure the entire system. Only a quick change to the jBoss to run on the port and then using the Web Deployment plug-in to modify the each of the 'connection' screens to use the new port. Excellent!
