Initial Steps

Use this chapter to learn how to start and run the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop. This chapter also familiarizes you with window layout and the basic operating characteristics of the web application.
This document assumes that your vApp client has been installed and configured using the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: vApp Deployment Guide. Please complete or verify the completion of the configuration process before you begin using SAS Data Loader for Hadoop.
In addition to configuring the vApp client, an administrator needs to deploy the SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop across the nodes of your Hadoop cluster. Contact your Hadoop administrator as needed to determine the operational status of your Hadoop cluster. All of the installation and administration information for the in-database technologies is provided in the SAS Data Loader for Hadoop: Administrator’s Guide.
