Introduction to This Document

This document covers the administration of the SAS Web applications that run in the middle tier of the SAS Intelligence Platform.
The middle tier provides an execution environment for business intelligence Web applications such as SAS Web Report Studio and SAS Information Delivery Portal. These applications communicate with the user by sending data to and receiving data from the user's Web browser. Users in your organization work with the Web applications in order to query data, to generate reports, and to share and deliver information across the entire enterprise.
As an administrator, you can create a custom middle-tier environment for your users that meets your organization's security, availability, scalability, performance, and maintainability requirements. This document provides post-installation instructions for carrying out the administrative tasks that you might need to perform.
This document assumes that you are familiar with the concepts and terminology that are introduced in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Overview document.
