IBM SPSS Statistics server parameters

An IBM® SPSS® Statistics Server Definition specifies the execution file used for processing IBM SPSS Statistics job steps.

The execution file must be installed on the same host as the IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services Repository. Alternatively, a remote process server could be installed on a remote machine to allow IBM SPSS Collaboration and Deployment Services to access an execution file installed on the remote machine.

In the Executable field, specify the full path to the statisticsb.exe file to use as the execution server. If the system path includes the location of this file, the full path can be omitted and the default value of statisticsb used.

On some systems, spaces in the path for the execution file may cause failures for jobs using the execution server. These problems can be eliminated by specifying the path using 8.3 notation. For example, instead of:

C:\Program Files\Server\statisticsb.exe

Specify:

C:\Progra~1\Server\statisticsb.exe

After defining the executable path, click Finish. The new definition appears in the Servers folder.
