Shared Grid Folder (UNC path recommended)

Use this field to specify the path to a shared folder for which all nodes on your grid have Read and Write access. The pathname for this folder must be recognizable by all nodes. A UNC path specification (for example, \\machine\folder\subfolder) is recommended.

Note: You must specify this and all of the parameters on the Grid tab for any of the settings to be saved.

To Specify a Shared Grid Folder:

8

Contact your System Administrator for the name and path to the folder.

The method used for this specification can vary depending on whether JMP is connected to SAS on your local machine or connected to SAS on a server. You should refer to the Specifying Folders, Files, and Data Sets documentation for detailed information.

To View the Selected Folder:

8

Click Open.

Caution: If the shared path is on a Windows XP machine, then you are able to use a maximum of 8 grid nodes only because of a limitation on the number of users that can simultaneously access a shared folder. If you want to use more than 8 grid nodes, specify a shared path on a server.
