Considerations for Installing and Updating the Software

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

The SAS Data Quality Server software is delivered with a sample Quality Knowledge Base. After you install the SAS Data Quality Server software, you need to download the latest Quality Knowledge Base, including your choice of locales, from the DataFlux Web site www.dataflux.com.

To maximize performance, download new Quality Knowledge Bases as they are made available by DataFlux. Because This generally means that you need to download a new Quality Knowledge Base immediately after you finish installing the SAS Data Quality Server software. On the DataFlux Web site, check the release notes of the latest release to determine whether your locales have been updated, or to determine whether 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 is 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 will either 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.
