Configuring and Using Java Web Start

For a SAS Model Manager 12.3 on SAS 9.4 deployment, the Java Web Start client can be used to access the SAS Model Manager 12.3 application by entering the URL http://hostname:port/SASModelManagerJWS/Status in your web browser. The default value for the SAS Environments URL on the Status page is (undefined). When you click Launch, the default value for the SAS environment field is (host deployment), unless you configure the Java Web Start Client to use the SAS environment URL in SAS Management Console.

Note: Only a SAS administrator (for example, sasadm@saspw) can configure the Java Web Start client for SAS Model Manager.

To specify the link to the Java Web Start client as the SAS environment URL, follow these steps:

From SAS Management Console, expand the Application Management node on the Plug-ins tab.
Select and expand Configuration ManagerSAS Application Infrastructure.
Right-click Model Manager JWS 12.3 and select Properties.
Click the Settings tab, and then select Model Manager Java Web Start Options.
- Enter a value is for the SAS environment URL setting, and in the format of http://hostname:port/SAS/sas-environment.xml. For more information about SAS environments, see Configuring the SAS Environment File in SAS Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide.
- Verify that the value that is specified for the Preferred SAS environment setting is the SAS environment that should be selected by default in the client’s logon dialog box. If a valid SAS environment with the specified name is not found, the value is ignored.
Make any necessary changes to the settings, and click OK.
For changes to take effect, you must restart the web application server.
To verify that Java Web Start has been configured correctly, enter the URL http://hostname:port/SASModelManagerJWS/Status in your web browser, verify that there is a value for the SAS Environments URL property, and then click Launch.
