When to Deploy the SAS In-Database Deployment Package Using the SAS Deployment Manager

You can use the SAS Deployment Manager to deploy the SAS In-Database Deployment Package if the following conditions are met:
  • For Cloudera:
    • You are using Cloudera 5.8 or later. For the latest information, see the SAS Foundation system requirements documentation for your operating environment.
    • Cloudera Manager is installed.
    • Your other SAS software, such as Base SAS and SAS/ACCESS Interface to Hadoop, was installed on a UNIX server.
  • For Hortonworks, IBM BigInsights, or Pivotal HD:
    • You are using Hortonworks 2.5, IBM BigInsights 4.2, or Pivotal HD 3.0 or later. For the latest information, see the SAS Foundation system requirements documentation for your operating environment.
    • You are using Ambari 2.4 or later.
    • Your other SAS software, such as Base SAS and SAS/ACCESS Interface to Hadoop, was installed on a UNIX server.
Otherwise, you should deploy the SAS In-Database deployment package manually. For more information, see Deploying the In-Database Deployment Package Manually.
CAUTION:
Once you have chosen a deployment method, you should continue to use that same deployment method when upgrading or redeploying SAS software on the cluster. Otherwise, your SAS software on the cluster can become unusable.
For example, if you use the SAS Deployment Manager to deploy the SAS software on the cluster, you should continue to use the SAS Deployment Manager for upgrades or redeployments. You should not use the manual deployment method to upgrade or redeploy. If you do need to change deployment methods, you must first uninstall the SAS software on the cluster using the same method that you used to deploy it. You can then use the other deployment method to install it.
