Getting Started with the Deployment :: SAS(R) 9.4 In-Database Products: Administrator's Guide, Seventh Edition

About the Deployment

This chapter describes deployment of SAS Data Loader 2.4 for Hadoop Cloudera and SAS Data Loader 2.4 for Hadoop Hortonworks. SAS sends an email to a contact person at your business or organization. This email specifies whether the product is SAS Data Loader 2.4 for Hadoop Cloudera or SAS Data Loader 2.4 for Hadoop Hortonworks and includes instructions for downloading a ZIP file. The ZIP file contains all product files that are required for installation of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop on the Hadoop cluster. The contact person is responsible for making the ZIP file available to you.

The individual components of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop are described in the following chapters: SAS In-Database Deployment Package for Hadoop, SAS In-Database Technologies for Data Quality Directives, and SAS Data Management Accelerator for Spark.

Note: For further specific information about SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop, see Introduction.

Before Deployment

More than one parcel or stack can be deployed on your cluster, but only one parcel can be activated at a time. See Deactivating or Removing Existing Versions.
