The SAS Deployment Manager
enables a SAS administrator to perform several tasks. The following
list identifies the tasks that are typical for the middle tier:
-
Rebuild Web applications. You can
rebuild Web applications that have previously been configured but
whose configuration has changed. This option rebuilds the Web application
based on the current configuration.
See Rebuilding the SAS Web Applications.
-
Remove the existing configuration. You can remove the
product configuration for one or more products in the deployment.
This option enables you to remove the product configuration for an
application that you are no longer using or that you are moving to
another machine. You can then use the SAS Deployment Wizard to reinstall
or reconfigure the application. For details, see “Removing
a SAS Configuration” in the
SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.
Note the following
about removing a configuration:
-
Installed products are not removed.
-
If you remove the configuration
for the SAS Information Delivery Portal, do not select the
Remove
all User Content option unless you have made a backup
copy of the content repository. If you choose this option, you must
re-create the content later from your backup. When you choose to remove
portal content, all pages, portlets, and other items created by the
users are removed.
-
If you remove the configuration
for the Web Infrastructure Platform, the contents of the SAS Content
Server repository (located in the
SAS-config-dir\Lev1\AppData\SASContentServer\Repository directory)
are not deleted. If you do not need the contents of this directory,
you should manually delete the contents before rebuilding the Web
Infrastructure Platform with the SAS Deployment Manager.
Access the SAS Deployment Manager by running the
SAS-install-dir\SASDeploymentManager\9.3\sasdm.exe command.
On UNIX and
z/OS operating environments, the command is
sasdm.sh.
