A SAS Data Integration Studio job was successfully scheduled and the appropriate event for triggering it occurred. Which statement describes the situation correctly?

Question

Options

• AThe scheduling server calls the SAS DATA Step Batch Server over the SAS Object Server which
• BThe scheduling server uses the command obtained from the SAS DATA Step Batch Server and
• CThe scheduling server uses the command from the deployed job in the deployment directory
• DThe scheduling server uses the command obtained from the Schedule Manager, the source code

• B
  93% (38)
• C
  2% (1)
• D
  5% (2)

Explanation

Option B is correct because when a triggered event fires, the scheduling server retrieves the execution command from the SAS DATA Step Batch Server, which holds the metadata and command details for the deployed job - the scheduling server itself does not store the execution logic, it delegates that responsibility to the Batch Server.

Why the distractors fail:

• A incorrectly inserts the SAS Object Server as an intermediary in the call chain; the scheduling server communicates with the DATA Step Batch Server directly, not through the Object Server.
• C is wrong because the scheduling server does not reach into the deployment directory itself to pull a command - that would bypass the Batch Server's role entirely.
• D confuses the source of the command; the Schedule Manager is responsible for registering and triggering jobs, not for supplying the runtime execution command.

Memory tip: Think "Batch Server = Boss of the command." The scheduling server is the trigger, but it asks the Batch Server what to run - just as a manager triggers a task but gets the exact instructions from the technical owner.
