Post-Deployment Tasks for SAS Information Retrieval Studio

After running SAS Deployment Wizard to install and configure SAS Visual Analytics, you must add the path to SAS Foundation for SAS Information Retrieval Studio. On Linux, in addition to the path to SAS Foundation, you must add the path to the trusted CA bundle provided by the SAS Security Framework.
To add the SAS Foundation path to SAS Information Retrieval Studio, perform these steps:
  1. Sign on to the SAS Visual Analytics server machine as the SAS Installer user.
  2. Using a text editor, open SAS-configuration-directory/Applications/SASInformationRetrievalStudioforSAS/work/information-retrieval-studio.conf
  3. Add the following paths to the information-retrieval-studio.conf file based on your operating system:
    • Linux
      Add tkpath and auth-server-certificates-path:
      • In the second maintenance release for SAS 9.4 and earlier:
        tkpath=/SAS-installation-directory/SASFoundation/9.4/sasexe:
        /SAS-installation-directory/SASFoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/
        auth-server-certificates-path=certificate-file.pem
      • In the third maintenance release for SAS 9.4 and later:
        tkpath=/SAS-installation-directory/SASFoundation/9.4/sasexe:
        /SAS-installation-directory/SASFoundation/9.4/utilities/bin/
        auth-server-certificates-path=SAS-installation-directory/
        SASSecurityCertificateFramework/1.1/cacerts/trustedcerts.pem
    • Windows
      Add tkpath:
      tkpath=\SAS-installation-directory\SASFoundation\9.4\core\sasext
  4. After you make your changes to the information-retrieval-studio.conf file, restart SAS Information Retrieval Studio.
  5. Sign on to SAS Home and clear the browser cache, including favorites. Enter an asterisk (*) in Search to verify that the search feature is working.
