Client Requirements

The SAS Integration Technologies client for the Windows operating environment has the following software requirements:

Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows Server 2003, or Windows Server 2008. The client can connect to SAS using all three methods (COM, Distributed Component Object Model [DCOM], IOM Bridge for COM).
If your client machines use the IOM Bridge for COM (a component of SAS Integration Technologies) to attach to an IOM server, then each client machine needs a valid TCP/IP configuration.
If you are using the IOM Data Provider (a component of SAS Integration Technologies), then you need the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) Version 2.1 and later on each client machine. MDAC is available from the Microsoft Web site.
