The SAS System provides some enhancements specific to Windows NT. These enhancements may be of interest to advanced users and system administrators in an enterprise environment. The SAS System now supports logging of error messages to the NT Event Log. Abnormal termination of SAS tasks (such as an access violation) can be viewed in the Event Log in addition to the SAS Log. Also, informational messages in SAS/CONNECT may be viewed in the Event Log. Another new feature is support for Windows NT Performance Monitor with the SAS System. Using NT Performance Monitor, users can monitor their SAS sessions (in either full-screen or batch) to obtain the information necessary to diagnose problems and tune their sessions.
