Using the SAS Deployment Manager

The SAS Deployment Manager enables you to accomplish the following tasks:

• Update passwords for selected users in an existing configuration. For information about how to update passwords by using the SAS Deployment Manager, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.

• Remove configuration content for an existing configuration. This option enables you to remove the 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 a detailed explanation about how to remove an existing configuration or how to use the SAS Deployment Wizard, see 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-configuration-directory\Levn\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.

• 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.

Access the SAS Deployment Manager by running the config.exe file in the SAS-installation-directory\SASDeploymentManager\9.2 directory.
