SAS Credit Scoring combines risk data management, data mining, and reporting capabilities in an integrated solution for developing, validating, and monitoring credit scorecards in-house.
SAS Enterprise Miner should be installed on the same machine as SAS Credit Scoring Server.
SAS Metadata Server, SAS Data Integration Server, SAS Enterprise BI Server, and SAS OLAP Server can be installed on the same machine as the SAS Credit Scoring server, or on separate machines.
SAS Credit Scoring Server includes a SAS OLAP Server subcomponent, which is also available in other offerings. For information about the applicable system requirements, review the separate System Requirements document.
SAS Credit Scoring Server includes three standard SAS/ACCESS Engines:
SAS/ACCESS Interface to Teradata must be explicitly selected in the order if you plan to host solution data on Teradata.
SAS Scoring Accelerator for Teradata is optional and is not included. A specific integration option is available for Teradata. If you choose to license SAS Scoring Accelerator for Teradata separately, you can select Teradata as one of the two included ACCESS Engines of choice or license it separately as a third ACCESS Engine.
SAS/ACCESS Interface to Oracle must be explicitly selected in the order if you plan to host solution data on Oracle.
SAS Scoring Accelerator for Oracle is optional and is not included. A specific integration option is available for Oracle. If you choose to license SAS Scoring Accelerator for Oracle separately, you can select Oracle as one of the two included ACCESS Engines of choice or license it separately as a third ACCESS Engine.
SAS Data Integration Server includes a SAS Data Integration Server subcomponent, which is available in other offerings. For information about the applicable system requirements, review the separate System Requirements document.
Install the SAS Data Integration Server on the same computer as the SAS Credit Scoring Server, or on a separate computer.
SAS Data Integration Server includes two standard SAS/ACCESS Engines of choice. It also includes three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice, plus General Industry Standards, which is included automatically.
SAS Enterprise BI Server includes the SAS Enterprise BI Server subcomponent, which is also available in other offerings. For information about the applicable system requirements, review the separate System Requirements document.
Install the SAS Enterprise BI Server on the same computer as the SAS Credit Scoring Server, or on a separate computer.
The SAS OLAP Server subcomponent is also available in other offerings. For information about the applicable system requirements, review the separate System Requirements document.
Install the SAS OLAP Server on the same computer as the SAS Credit Scoring Server, or on a separate computer.
We recommend installing SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on a separate machine.
The Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes one standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice for transaction data. It must be the same as the engine that you selected for the SAS Credit Scoring Server.
Use of a co-located Hadoop File System (HDFS) is optional, but it requires a supported Hadoop environment and SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop (which are included with your license). For information about supported Hadoop distributions, refer to http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v94/hadoop/hadoop-distributions.html. The plug-ins require additional configuration. For more information, see SAS High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure 3.5: Installation and Configuration Guide at http://support.sas.com/documentation/solutions/hpainfrastructure/.
SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server 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.
We recommend installing the Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server Mid-Tier on a separate machine.
When you install your SAS solution software, SAS Deployment Manager installs and configures the required web application servers and web servers.
To install these servers, select one of the supported operating systems for the middle tier.
Note: These servers cannot be installed on the z/OS or 32-bit Windows platforms.
For the best user experience, the recommended screen resolution on client machines is 1280 x 1024.
The included plugin for Microsoft Office is for Microsoft Excel only.
SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) is available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
