Before you can install your SAS software, you must obtain
a deployment plan. The deployment plan is an XML file that specifies
the software that you will install and configure on each machine in
your environment. The plan serves as input to the SAS Deployment Wizard.
A deployment plan can be a custom plan for your specific software
installation, or it can be a standard, predefined plan that describes
a common configuration.
For more information,
see About Deployment Plans in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.You must also obtain
a SAS Installation Data (SID) file. The SID file contains license
(SETINIT) information that is required to install SAS.
Note: When
you create a deployment plan that includes SAS Business Rules Manager,
you will see SAS Decision Manager components in your
plan even if you have not licensed SAS Decision Manager
or included the SAS Decision Manager offering in your
plan.
