You can install SAS Business Rules Manager
on one or on several machines. This choice is determined when you
order SAS Business Rules Manager and is detailed in the deployment
plan XML file.
For multiple-machine
installations, you must first install SAS Business Rules Manager
on the server-tier machine. You can then install SAS Business Rules Manager
on other additional machines that are part of a middle tier in your
configuration.
For guidelines on installing
SAS on multiple machines, see Installation Order Rules for Multiple Machine Deployments in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.
The server tier
consists of a set of SAS servers that are installed as a part of the
SAS Intelligence Platform. The server tier contains the code generation
macro that is necessary for executing rules and integrating SAS Business Rules Manager
with other SAS products.
