SAS Metadata Server

Please select a target environment:


SAS recommends that you deploy SAS Metadata Server on a 64-bit host system. The SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded and multi-core server hardware (typically quad core or higher) is recommended. A dedicated machine for the SAS Metadata Server is recommended to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics, but is not required. The disk I/O performance of any server-class system should be sufficient. Memory requirements are highly dependent on the product mix and usage, but 8GB of RAM is sufficient for most large deployments. 4GB of RAM is sufficient for many deployments and should be considered a minimum unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.

SAS Data Management Standard DataFlux Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Data Management Standard DataFlux Server includes a DataFlux Data Management Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice (which should be the same as was selected for SAS Data Management Standard SAS Server) and a DataFlux Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice.

Supported Databases

SAS Anti-Money Laundering supports the following databases:

  • DB2 UDB Enterprise Server Edition 9.5. and 9.7
  • MySQL Community Server 5.1.30*
  • Oracle Enterprise Edition and Standard Edition, 10g and 11g
  • SQLServer 2008
  • Teradata v13.10*

Note: To leverage advanced tuning features such as bitmap indexing and data partitioning, SAS recommends that you deploy SAS Anti-Money Laundering on Oracle Enterprise Edition instead of Oracle Standard Edition. Oracle Enterprise Edition offers features required for tuning high volume databases. Please consult with your Oracle licensing representative for a complete list of features available.

*The Investigation UI functionality is supported only on DB2, Oracle, and SQL Server. When necessary, it is possible to use separate databases for the Server Tier for Teradata or MySQL.   

Recommendation for SAS Shared Services Database

SAS Anti-Money Laundering 5.1 depends on SAS Shared Services for various components. For example, SAS Workflow is delivered with the SAS Intelligence Platform as a component of SAS Shared Services. In addition, SAS Anti-Money Laundering uses SAS Content Server for storing files in the WebDAV repository.

CAUTION: Do not use the SAS Framework Data Server as a database for SAS Shared Services.

Do not use the SAS Framework Data Server as a database for SAS Shared Services. When feasible, configure the SAS Shared Services database on the same RDBMS that you configure for SAS Anti-Money Laundering. Since Shared Services does not support the use of Teradata as the RDBMS, customers using Teradata as their RDBMS for SAS Anti-Money Laundering will need to configure an alternate RDBMS for the SAS Shared Services database. Please note other RDBMS restrictions stated above.
