The following topics list the operating system and system software requirements for SAS Fraud Management 5:
For information about SAS supported operating systems, use the menus to see support information for SAS 9.4 on the following web page: SAS supported operating systems.
SAS Fraud Management components for UNIX server-tier and middle-tier machines must be installed on the same platforms, z64 or Linux for x64.
In addition, SAS Fraud Management Server Scoring Engine for z/64 requires the following software:
Note: The SAS Fraud Management Scoring Engine for z/OS Server does not require a SAS Metadata Server at installation time and may be installed without the SAS Fraud Management Decision Engine Server, SAS Fraud Management Rules Server and SAS Fraud Management Batch Server.
Note: SAS Fraud Management customers may install just the SAS Fraud Management Scoring Engine for z/OS Server. All other SAS Fraud Management products required prior installation of the SAS Fraud Management Batch Server because the Batch Server loads Databases that the solution uses.
SAS Fraud Management Decision Engine Server includes either of these SAS/ACESSS Engines of choice:
Note: The SAS/ACCESS Engine of choice must be the same on all of the UNIX servers.
Note: The SAS Fraud Management Decision Engine Server requires a SAS Metadata Server during installation and a prior installation of SAS Fraud Management Batch Server. It may be installed without the SAS Fraud Management Rules Server.
Note: SAS Metadata Server can go on the same machine as the main server, or on a separate machine.
SAS Fraud Management Batch Server includes either of the following SAS/ACESSS Engines of choice:
Note:The SAS/ACCESS Engine of choice must be the same on all of the UNIX servers.
SAS Fraud Management Rules Server includes either of the following SAS/ACESSS Engines of choice:
Note:The SAS/ACCESS Engine of choice must be the same on all of the UNIX servers.
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.
SAS Fraud Management 5 supports IBM MQ v9.
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.
The following are the database system requirements for SAS Fraud Management 5:
* The number and speed of processors, internal storage in addition to the number of physical servers per installation for redundancy is determined per installation and customer requirements.
Note: SAS Management Console and SAS BI Lineage Plug-in for SAS Management Console can also run on AIX, HP IPF, Linux for x64, Solaris SPARC, and Solaris for x64, Windows 32-bit, and Windows 64-bit.
The list of web browsers that SAS supports is updated as new products are tested and approved. For the latest information, visit the SAS Fraud Management Third-party Support Page at http://support.sas.com/kb/46/addl/fusion_46539_1_3rd_party_support_matrix_current.pdf
The z-Architecture mainframe is required for the mainframe option. A customer who chooses this option should expect to allocate about 2 GB of disk space to install and verify the operation of the mainframe Universal SAS Connector (USC) component.
Requirements regarding mainframe disk space, CPU, and real and virtual storage utilization will depend completely on the size of the customer’s workload. SAS works with prospective customers to define the expected customer workload and corresponding hardware resources needed. This process is a standard part of any SAS Fraud Management project.
The All-UNIX/Linux option is for Red Hat Enterprise Linux. This version is available in SAS Fraud Management 3.2 and later versions. A customer who chooses this option would expect to allocate several (physical) p-series servers or reduce this footprint by implementing a larger multi-core server or servers with logical partitions and shared memory.
The requirements regarding the disk space, CPUs, as well as real and virtual storage utilization will depend completely on the size of the customer’s workload. SAS works with prospective customers to define the expected customer workload and corresponding hardware resources needed. This process is a standard part of any SAS Fraud Management project.
The All-UNIX/Linux and hybrid solutions support the use of Virtual Server technologies specifically tested and support VMware and KVM software.
