Tools
The Administrator
Most tasks are performed
in the administrator, a SAS Visual Analytics web application. To open
the administrator, select Administrator or Manage
Environment from the home page (for example, http://host/SASVisualAnalyticsHub),
side menu, or banner.
For
the exact URL, see the file SAS-configuration-directory
/Documents/Instructions.html on the middle-tier machine. In the
Instructions.html file, search for SAS Visual Analytics
Administrator.
|
UNIX example:
|
/opt/sas/config/Lev1/Documents/Instructions.html |
|
Windows example:
|
C:\sas\Config\Lev1\Documents\Instructions.html |
Troubleshooting
Issue: You are redirected from the administrator’s direct
URL to the home page.
Resolution: Make sure that you have the required capabilities. In the standard configuration,
members of the Visual Analytics Data Administrators group can access the administrator. See the instructions for the Groups and Roles tab
in How to Add a User.
SAS Management Console
Some tasks are performed
in SAS Management Console, a desktop application. To open SAS Management
Console, use one of the following instructions:
|
UNIX example:
|
From
/install/SASServer/SASHome/SASManagementConsole/9.4,
run ./sasmc.
|
|
Windows example:
|
From the Start button,
select All Programs
 SASSAS Management Console.

see Administering SAS Management Console in
the SAS Intelligence Platform: Desktop Application Administration Guide.
SAS Environment Manager Administration
As an alternative to
using SAS Management Console, you can use SAS Environment Manager
(a web application) to set permissions, add users, add SAS LASR Analytic
Servers, and add LASR libraries. To open SAS Environment Manager,
go to http://host:7080,
where host is the machine where
the SAS Environment Manager server is installed. To access the metadata
administrative functionality, select Administration from
SAS Environment Manager’s main menu.
For
the exact URL, see the file SAS-configuration-directory
/Documents/Instructions.html on the middle-tier machine. In the
Instructions.html file, search for SAS Environment
Manager Web Console.
For more information,
see SAS Environment Manager Administration: User's Guide.

SAS Environment Manager to monitor resources, see SAS Environment Manager: User’s Guide.
