37069 - Different media and methods for installing SAS® 9.2 or later in your z/OS operating environment

Installation Note 37069: Different media and methods for installing SAS® 9.2 or later in your z/OS operating environment

The following media are available for downloading SAS 9.2 TS2M0 or later software to your z/OS operating environment.

1. Electronic Software Delivery (ESD)

To download your software order directly to a z/OS system, you must have 31-bit Java 1.6 installed under z/OS. Optionally, you can use an X11 server that is available on a Windows PC or UNIX machine at your site to provide a graphical user interface that enables you to respond to prompts during the installation.

If You Do Not Have Access to an X11 Server

You can install SAS 9.3 software orders with a version number of Rev. 930_12wnn, where nn is 10 or higher, or Rev. 930_13wnn, without an X11 server by using the -console option on the SAS Download Manager and the SAS Deployment Wizard.

This option is available if you do not have access to an X11 server, and your order does not contain any of these products:

SAS^® IT Resource Management
SAS^® Data Integration Server
SAS^® Enterprise Data Integration Server

Other Options

Alternatively, you can download your order to Windows or UNIX if you can then make your depot available on z/OS using one of the following options:

Use the SAS Software Copy Utility to FTP the entire depot to UNIX file system space on z/OS.
Use a third-party FTP utility such as FileZilla, WS-FTP, SCP, or BlueZone to FTP the entire depot to UNIX file system space on z/OS.
NFS mount the PC or UNIX directory on z/OS (in binary mode).

See the installation instructions for more details.

2. DVD

You can create your SAS Software Depot from DVD in Windows or UNIX operating environments only if you can use one of the options listed above under Electronic Software Delivery to make your depot available to z/OS.

3. IBM 3590 Tape Cartridges

Physical Software Delivery – Cartridge Media No Longer Shipping

SAS software is no longer shipped on cartridge media

If the media types described here do not meet your needs, contact SAS Technical Support to discuss other options.
