One deployment option
is to create a middle-tier configuration on a machine that does not
contain a Web application server. After the configuration completes,
you move the middle-tier configuration to the Web application server
machine and manually deploy it.
If you have deployed
your SAS middle tier in this manner, you must move the Web directories
back to the original machine before applying maintenance and updates,
apply your SAS maintenance and updates, and then finally move the
updated Web directories back to the target Web application server
machine.
