A SAS environment
file defines the available set of SAS environments for SAS client
applications, and is generated during the configuration of the SAS
Web Infrastructure Platform. The SAS Logon Manager includes a servlet
that provides default information for the initial deployment. When
you have validated that your client applications work successfully
with a deployment, it is recommended that you deploy the sas-environment.xml
file to an HTTP server. This step ensures that you can customize the
sas-environment.xml file to specify the name that you want to use
and to account for the IT topology at your site.
Your site might have
requirements that application clients interact with separate development,
test, and production environments. Or, you might elect to have separate
SAS deployments to support distinct business units. In either scenario,
when multiple environments are required, you can customize and deploy
the
sas-environment.xml file as needed.
