Deploying SAS Enterprise Miner in Single-User Mode

Preparing to Install and to Configure

The topics contained in this section are:

The SAS Deployment Wizard is a cross-platform utility that installs and configures many SAS products. The wizard uses a SAS installation data file (SID file) and a deployment plan (plan.xml) for its initial input. The wizard is designed to prompt you for all of the remaining input at the start of the session so that you do not have to monitor an entire deployment.

There are two major ways that you can run the SAS Deployment Wizard:

interactively

a standard method of providing input using fields in pages with a Back and Next button navigation method.
non-interactively

a record and playback feature that enables you to automate a SAS installation for use on multiple machines. This feature is designed for large-scale enterprise deployments to prevent users from having to manually provide input on every page each time the SAS Deployment Wizard is run on a machine. For more information, see Automating the SAS Installation on Multiple Machines in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.

About SAS Deployment Plans

A SAS deployment plan describes what software should be installed and configured on each machine in a SAS deployment. A deployment plan is an XML file that is used as input to the SAS Deployment Wizard. There are two types of deployment plans: standard and custom. The SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1 single-user installation is supported only by a small subset of standard deployment plans. The standard deployment plans that support the single-user installation are the following:

Enterprise Miner, one machine: deploys SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Enterprise Miner for Desktop, one machine: deploys SAS Enterprise Miner for Desktop 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Enterprise Miner and Text Miner, one machine: deploys SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS Text Miner 4.1, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Enterprise Miner for Desktop and Text Miner, one machine: deploys SAS Enterprise Miner for Desktop 6.1 and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS Text Miner 4.1, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Data Mining for the Classroom, one machine: deploys SAS Data Mining for the Classroom, SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS Text Miner 4.1, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.

These standard plans are a part of your SAS 9.2 order. Later, you will select one of these plans to deploy your SAS software.

At the end of the SAS deployment, the SAS Deployment Wizard makes a copy of the deployment plan it used. The deployment plan can be helpful when you want to add another SAS product or change your SAS configuration. The wizard stores a copy of the deployment plan in the SAS configuration directory in the utilities directory, and inserts a date-and-time stamp to the deployment plan filename. For example:

C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Utilities\plan.2009-03-31-11.04.xml
