Instructions.html and UpdateInstructions.html Files

After you install SAS for the first time, configure a new product, or reconfigure an existing product, you must complete the manual steps in the Instructions.html file to complete your deployment. The latest version of the Instructions.html file is available from a link in the last step of the SAS Deployment Wizard and in the SAS-configuration-directory/Levn/Documents/ directory. When you open the Instructions.html file, you see a document titled “Configuration Guidelines and Details for your-machine-name.” This document contains the validation steps for the last deployment that you performed. Previous versions of the Instructions.html file are available from the SAS-configuration-directory/Levn/Backup directory. You might need to refer to a previous Instructions.html file to re-validate your deployment.

After you install a maintenance release or upgrade to a new product release, you could see an UpdateInstructions.html file, which contains the configuration steps that you must manually complete. The UpdateInstructions.html file could contain a subset of steps from the original Instructions.html file, or it could contain new steps that you must complete because you are applying a maintenance release or upgrading to a new product. The latest version of the UpdateInstructions.html file is available from the SAS-configuration-directory/Levn/Documents directory. Previous versions of the UpdateInstructions.html file are available from the SAS-configuration-directory/InstallMisc/InstallLogs directory.
