Installation and Configuration Steps for an Upgrade-In-Place

When you are upgrading from SAS Model Manager 12.3 on SAS 9.4 to SAS Model Manager 13.1 on SAS 9.4M2, you can perform an upgrade-in-place. SAS Model Manager 13.1 now includes SAS Decision Manager Common components. Therefore, two passes of the SAS Deployment Wizard installation and configuration process are required in order to complete the upgrade. During the first pass of the SAS Deployment Wizard, it detects what products to upgrade. After the upgrade has completed successfully, the configuration stage starts. After the upgrade-in-place process has completed, you must run the SAS Deployment Wizard again to install the new product components and to complete the configuration. Follow the instructions provided in Add SAS Products That Require Configuration in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide in order to complete the installation and configuration process for an upgrade-in-place.
Here is some product-specific information that should be reviewed during the installation and configuration process:
  1. When running the SAS Deployment Wizard, be sure to select a plan file that contains SAS Model Manager and SAS Decision Manager Common products. The plan file can be a customer-defined plan or can be copied from the standard plans. Verify that you use the new SAS installation data file during this installation.
    Note: For an installation in a multi-machine environment the server products are typically installed on the SAS Application Server. The rest of the products are on the Middle-Tier Server.
  2. By default, all products that are displayed are installed. Leave all products selected. If there are no product changes, then the deployment wizard does not re-install any pre-existing products.
    Make sure that the following products are selected for installation:
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Data Server
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Mid-Tier for Decision Manager
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Mid-Tier for Decision Manager Help and Documentation
  3. SAS Services must be started before beginning the configuration process.
    Make sure that the following services are started:
    • SAS Metadata Server
    • Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server
    • Web Server (httpd - WebServer)
    • Object Spawner
    • JMS Broker
    • Cache Locator
  4. Make sure that the following products are selected for configuration:
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Data Server
    • SAS Decision Manager Server Configuration
    • SAS Web Application Server Configuration
    • SAS Help Viewer for Mid-Tier Applications
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Mid-Tier for Decision Manager
    • SAS Model Manager Mid-Tier
  5. For the SAS Decision Manager Database type prompt, you can choose Oracle or Decision Manager Common Data Server. When you are re-configuring the SAS Model Manager Mid-Tier, the extracted data from the Model Manager Database is imported into the new SAS Decision Manager Common Data Server database automatically.
  6. After the SAS Deployment installation and configuration process has completed, you must complete the rest of the post-installation configuration and verification steps. See the Instructions.html file for the new application URL and for instructions that are associated with other products that you have installed. For more information, see Post-Installation Configuration and Verification Steps.
