The following enhancements
and changes to the SAS Intelligence Platform deployment tools were
made in the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3:
SAS Download Manager No Longer Installed
For SAS 9.3, you no
longer install the SAS Download Manager. You simply download and run
it.
Capability to Subset SAS Software Orders
Both the SAS Download
Manager and the SAS Deployment Wizard enable you to subset—or
break up—your software order. This enables you to create significantly
smaller SAS Software Depots targeted for different sets of users based
on operating system, product type, and language.
SAS Middle Tier Supported on 64-Bit Systems Only
The SAS 9.3 middle tier
is supported only on 64-bit operating systems.
z/OS Deployment Enhancements
SAS 9.3 has enhanced
the deployment experience for the
z/OS platform through deployment
wizard enhancements and a software depot mover tool.
Capability to Build a Middle-Tier Configuration for Deployment
on Another Machine
The SAS Deployment Wizard
enables the SAS administrator to perform the SAS Web tier deployment
on a machine that does not contain a Web application server. After
the deployment is complete, the SAS administrator compresses the Web
tier configuration and hands it off to his Web administrator counterpart
to deploy on the target Web application server machine.
Enhanced Support for Locale and Encoding
The SAS Deployment Wizard
has enhanced support for configuring locales and encodings.
New SAS Uninstaller for Windows
SAS 9.3 has a new uninstaller
on Windows that enables you to uninstall multiple SAS 9.3 applications
in a single operation.
New Text-Based Interface for SAS Deployment Tools
In the March 2012 release
of SAS 9.3, the SAS Deployment Wizard, SAS Deployment Manager, and
SAS Download Manager can be run on operating systems that do not have
windowing systems.
SAS Download Manager Dependencies on Linux
In the March 2012 release
of SAS 9.3, there are certain 64-bit Linux dependencies.
New Depot Checker Utility
In the March 2012 release
of SAS 9.3, SAS provides a utility with which you can verify the integrity
of your SAS Software Depot.
Hot Fixes Now Part of Your Initial SAS Installation
In the second maintenance
release for SAS 9.3, the SAS Download Manager automatically downloads
the necessary SAS hot fixes required by the SAS products in your initial
order. This enhancement makes the following possible:
-
Your SAS software is up-to-date
with hot fixes deemed critical by SAS Technical Support after your
initial deployment.
You avoid the multi-step
process of deploying software and then having to immediately update
it with hot fixes. The SAS Deployment Wizard applies hot fixes prior
to the configuration phase. You no longer have to reconfigure products
immediately after their initial configuration.
-
The SAS Deployment Wizard applies
hot fixes prior to the configuration phase.

SAS Hot Fixes Now Installed Using the Deployment Wizard
In the second maintenance
release for SAS 9.3, the SAS hot fix tool (sashf) has been deprecated.
The SAS Deployment Wizard is now used to install SAS hot fixes.
New Web Infrastructure Database Configuration Options

release for SAS 9.3, the SAS Deployment Wizard enables you to configure
the catalog and schema pattern for the SAS Web Infrastructure Database.
