To keep pace with changes to third-party technologies, SAS has adopted a general policy of supporting one or more baseline major versions, subsequent minor updates, and subsequent major versions for each officially supported operating system. Only the supported baseline major versions are listed in this document. The full SAS Support policy governing third-party software can be found at https://support.sas.com/en/documentation/third-party-software-reference/baseline-and-higher.html.
As part of this policy, SAS strongly encourages customers to install the latest operating-system service packs.
Base SAS, SAS/STAT, and SAS Enterprise Miner Server are required for SAS Text Miner High-Performance Server but are not included.
SAS Text Miner Server and SAS High-Performance Data Mining are also required but not included. SAS Text Miner Server includes a SAS Text Analytics language of choice.
SAS High-Performance Computing Management Console is only installed on a 64-bit Linux machine.
SAS Text Miner High-Performance Server includes one of the following SAS/ACCESS products:
SAS LASR Analytic Server is required to enable SAS High-Performance Analytics (Distributed LASR) with Hadoop.
SAS LASR Analytic Server (Distributed or Non-distributed LASR) cannot be installed on HP-UX for IPF or 32-bit Windows.
For Greenplum, Oracle, and Teradata: Base SAS, SAS/STAT, ACCESS, and SAS High-Performance Text Mining must be installed on separate hardware from the appliance nodes.
For Hadoop: Base SAS, SAS/STAT, ACCESS engines, and SAS High-Performance Text Mining can either be installed on the head node of the commodity hardware, or on separate hardware from the commodity hardware nodes (asymmetric).
SAS High-Performance Analytics Server Distributed Mode requires Greenplum or Oracle or Teradata (appliance obtained from vendor) or Hadoop (commodity hardware). A corresponding SAS/ACCESS engine is required (and included with the SAS Text Miner High-Performance Server).
Use of a colocated 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 https://support.sas.com/en/documentation/third-party-software-reference/9-4/support-for-hadoop.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/onlinedoc/hp-analytics-infrastructure/index.html.
