System Requirements
SASĀ® Business Rules Manager 3.1

Overview

SAS Business Rules Manager is available for both Distributed and Non-distributed LASR deployments. These system requirements apply to both LASR deployments. The headings below indicate whether components apply to a specific LASR deployment type.

Server Tier Requirements

SAS Business Rules Manager Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Business Rules Manager Server also includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice (Oracle or PostgreSQL).

The following products are optional but not included:

  • SAS/STAT
  • SAS Enterprise Miner Server
  • SAS Data Integration Server
  • SAS Enterprise Guide
  • SAS In-Database Code Accelerator for Greenplum, Teradata, or Hadoop

Teradata and Greenplum must use the Remote Embedded Process (REP) to achieve parallel loading. To use Remote Embedded Process, you must install the appropriate SAS/ACCESS interface engine on the server tier.

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. This engine must be the same as that selected for the SAS Business Rules Manager server, or it must be separately licensed.

SAS recommends installing the SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on a separate computer from the SAS Business Rules Manager Server.

SAS LASR Analytic Server, Distributed LASR on Linux for x64

SAS Products installed to this machine:
  • SAS High-Performance Computing Management Console 2.7
  • SAS High-Performance Deployment for Hadoop 3.0
  • SAS High-Performance Node Installation 3.1
Disk Space Consumed by Installed Products: 1 MB
Supported Environments:
  • Oracle Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family
  • SUSE Linux Enterprise System 11 SP1 (64-bit version) on the x64 chip family

SAS Metadata Server

Please select a target environment:

SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:

  • a 64-bit host system
  • a dedicated machine to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics
  • multi-core server hardware because SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded
  • four or more cores for production deployments

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 8 GB of RAM are sufficient for most large deployments. For many deployments, 4 GB of RAM are sufficient and should be considered a minimum, unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.

Database Software

SAS Business Rules Manager Server supports Decision Manager Common Data Server or Oracle.


Middle Tier Requirements

SAS Business Rules Manager Mid-Tiers
