SAS/ACCESS 9.3 Software

Configuring Some SAS/ACCESS Products on UNIX

Starting in SAS 9.3, some SAS/ACCESS products are configured as part of the installation process. In previous releases, you used a separate setup program or performed manual steps to configure these SAS/ACCESS products on UNIX:

SAS/ACCESS Interface to Greenplum
SAS/ACCESS Interface to Microsoft SQL Server
SAS/ACCESS Interface to MySQL
SAS/ACCESS Interface to Netezza
SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle
SAS/ACCESS Interface to Sybase IQ

When you run the SAS Deployment Wizard in SAS 9.3, you can configure these products with the appropriate database. If you choose to defer this configuration until later, then you can run the SAS Deployment Manager to configure these SAS/ACCESS products.

Changed Default Port Number for SAS/ACCESS to PC Files

Starting in SAS 9.3, the default port number for SAS/ACCESS to PC Files changed from 8621 to 9621. The PCFILES LIBNAME engine and the Import and Export utilities that use this engine also default to 9621.
