About This Book

This book documents administration of SAS Visual Analytics in a traditional on-premises deployment.

The phrase SAS configuration directory refers to a host path that includes a configuration name and level.

UNIX example:	`/opt/sas/config/Lev1`
Windows example:	`C:\sas\Config\Lev1`

For more information, see Overview of the Configuration Directory Structure in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.

Note: For directory paths that are identical on UNIX and Windows, this book uses UNIX style path delimiters (/ instead of \).
