After
the grid nodes have been installed and configured, you can install
and configure the software required for the client applications that
will use the grid. The software required will depend on the type of
client application. Applications such as SAS Data Integration Studio
that can submit jobs through a workspace server do not need to install
anything other than the client application. Applications such as Base
SAS that submit jobs to the grid must also install Platform Suite
for SAS or other middleware in order to send jobs to the grid. When
you install SAS Management Console, which is used to monitor and control
the grid, you must also install the SAS Grid Manager plug-in.
