Considerations for Installing and Updating the Software

Keep the following information in mind as you install the SAS Data Quality Server software.

After you install the SAS Data Quality Server software, you might be interested in downloading the latest Quality Knowledge Base from the DataFlux Web site www.dataflux.com.

To maximize performance, download new Quality Knowledge Bases as DataFlux makes them available. On the DataFlux Web site, check the release notes of the latest release to determine if your locales have been updated, or to determine if you need any of the new locales that might have been added.

When you update your Quality Knowledge Base, you might want to install it in a new location rather than overwriting your existing Quality Knowledge Base. This decision nis particularly important if you have customized your Quality Knowledge Base in the previous release. (Customizations are made with the dfPower Customize software). If you install your updated Quality Knowledge Base in a new location, you willeither need to change your setup file or reference a new setup file in your SAS programs.

If you customized your previous Quality Knowledge Base, make sure that you evaluate those changes and carry them over to your new Quality Knowledge Base.

CAUTION:

When you upgrade your Quality Knowledge Base, be sure to regenerate your existing match codes so that they will be consistent with the newly created match codes.   

Note:   SAS programs that run jobs or services on DataFlux Integration Servers do not reference the setup file.
