This document describes the minimum requirements for installing and running SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1 software, which includes Administrative Tools, a Web Application, and Reporting. SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1 requires SAS 9.3M1.
The information in this document is current as of the release date of SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1.
SAS Enterprise GRC Server includes two standard SAS/ACCESS engines of choice (Oracle, ODBC, Microsoft SQL Server, or DB2).
Note: SAS/ACCESS Interface to Microsoft SQL Server runs on all supported SAS platforms except Microsoft Windows. With Microsoft Windows platforms, you have to use SAS/ACCESS Interface to ODBC.
Memory
Only 64-bit operating systems are supported. The recommended minimum memory requirement for SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1 is 8 GB.
The following list describes the application servers supported by SAS 9.3 and the operating systems on which they are supported.
Note: Only IBM WebSphere Network Deployment is supported. IBM WebSphere Base is not supported.
For information about the version requirements of Web application servers and HTTP servers for use with SAS 9.3, please see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v93/appservers/index.html.
SAS Enterprise GRC requires one of the following databases:
The following database versions are supported:
Note: Microsoft SQL Server is only supported on Microsoft Windows environments.
SAS Enterprise GRC 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 Enterprise GRC uses SAS Content Server for storing files in the WebDAV repository.
Recommendation for SAS Shared Services Database
CAUTION: Do not use the SAS Framework Server as a database for SAS Shared Services.
You should not use the SAS Framework Server as a database for SAS Shared Services. SAS Enterprise GRC requires that you use PostgreSQL, IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, or Oracle as your RDBMS. Therefore, you should also configure the SAS Shared Services database on the same RDBMS that you configure for SAS Enterprise GRC.
The SAS OpRisk Global Data machine also includes SAS OpRisk Global Data software which is updated on a monthly basis. Although file sizes vary slightly each month, you will need about 160 MB of disk space for the installation.
SAS 9.3 supports the following Web browsers:
Note: SAS Enterprise GRC 5.1 requires Adobe Flash Player 10.0.0. (If it is not already installed on the client machine, the Web browser will prompt you to install it.)
