Requirements for Running the MDDB Report Viewer

Before you begin setting up the MDDB Report Viewer, you must meet the following requirements:
  • Version 9 or later of the following SAS software products must be licensed at your site:
    • Base SAS software.
    • SAS/IntrNet software. The Application Dispatcher component (consisting of the Application Broker and Application Server components) must be installed and configured.
    • SAS/GRAPH software (optional but recommended).
  • SAS/EIS software or the SAS OLAP Server must be licensed at your site.
    Note: MDDB Report Viewer 9.3 works only with the V8 SAS OLAP Server, which is available with both SAS 8 (as a separate product) and SAS 9 (as part of the SAS OLAP Server).
  • The MDDB that you use to generate reports must be created, registered in a repository, and stored in a location to which you have access. You can create an MDDB by using SAS/EIS software or PROC MDDB when the SAS OLAP Server has been licensed. SAS/EIS software automatically registers the MDDB in the repository. If you use PROC MDDB to create the MDDB file, you must register the MDDB in a SAS/EIS repository. See the online Help for these products for complete instructions on how to create an MDDB. The MDDB Report Viewer can use only MDDB files to create reports. It cannot use SAS data sets.
  • Your Web browser must support HTML pages with frames.
