This note assumes that you have read and are familiar with SAS Note 49296: "Using Java 7 with SAS^® 9.3 TS1M2."

 

SAS supports Java 7 with SAS 9.3 (TS1M2), which includes SAS Foundation, SAS solutions and SAS client applications (such as SAS^® Management Console). Before starting your installation, you must pre-install the 32-bit Version 7 Java Runtime Environment (JRE) and 64-bit Version 7 Java Development Kit (JDK) so that when prompted by the SAS^® Deployment Wizard you will be able to select the downloaded version of Java.

 

Steps that will lead to a successful metadata server-based deployment

• The order you are installing from must be SAS 9.3 TS1M2 at revision 13w18 or higher (SAS^® 9.2 and earlier releases of SAS 9.3 are not supported).
  Note: If the "Product" level of your SAS^®9.3 (TS1M2) order is not at revision 13w18 or higher contact SAS Contracts and request a newer order.
   
• Ensure your host meets at least the minimum system requirements.
• Create your SAS Software Depot as usual. Video tutorials exist to help you: DVD ESD
• Prepare to install and configure your planned deployment as described in the "SAS 9.3 Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide". When completing your pre-installation checklist keep the following items in mind:
  • You will need to download and install a supported 32-bit version 7 JRE. Links to vendor sites are provided on our Third Party page, for your convenience.
  • You will need to download and install a supported 64-bit version 7 JDK. Links to vendor sites are provided on our Third Party page, for your convenience.
  • If you intend to use JBoss Community release first read Installation Note 49775: Using JBoss Community with Java 7 and SAS 9.3TS1M2
• Install using the SAS^® Deployment Wizard following regular documentation while noting the following details and exceptions:
  • When you reach the "Select Java Runtime Environment" window DO NOT accept the default option to use the SAS-supplied JRE. Instead, choose "Select an existing Java Runtime Environment" and direct the wizard to the location of your Version 7 JRE.
  • When you are prompted for the Web Application Server and JDK locations you may receive a warning message. If your order is from a product revision level of 13w18 or higher, this message can safely be ignored as long as the supported web application server you specify supports the version 7 JDK you have downloaded and installed.
• Validate your deployment by following steps in Instructions.html linked to from the SAS^® Deployment Wizard "Finish" window.
• Once you have validated the deployment, validate your SAS Foundation tiers as documented in the "SAS® 9.3 Qualification Tools User’s Guide". If any products or tools do not validate contact the Unix System Team in SAS Technical Support.
• With your installation validated apply Java 7 required hot fixes following these high-level steps:
  • Back-up your metadata repository as described in your Instructions.html file, located in the <SASConfig>/Lev1/Documents directory.
  • Stop your web application server as described in your Instructions.html file.
  • Stop your SAS processes using <SASConfig>/Lev1/sas.servers stop.
  • Confirm that all processes are stopped using a UNIX system command: ps -ef | grep sas
  • Follow the steps in the SAS Hot Fix Analysis, Download and Deployment Tool's "Usage Guide" to download and apply hot fixes.
    • Ensure that Java 7-specific hot fixes listed under the Hot Fix tabs in the links given in Installation Note 49296: "Using Java 7 with SAS^® 9.3 TS1M2." are applied as appropriate for products in your order.
  • Ensure you have completed any manual steps included in some hot fix instructions.
  • Revalidate your installation using the SAS® 9.3 Qualification Tools as before.
  • Run the code under the Full Code tab to verify the JRE and the hot fixes applied for SAS/GRAPH components.
  • Start your SAS processes using <SASConfig>/Lev1/sas.servers start.
  • Revalidate your deployment following the steps in your Instructions.html file.
