Third-Party Software for SASŪ 9.1
Java Runtime Environments
The following versions of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) are recommended for use with the SAS Foundation and SAS client applications. Application servers and servlet engines require a full Java Software Development Kit (JDK). See the next section for a list of Java Development Kits required by supported application servers.
The JREs listed below require an update to support new Daylight Saving Time changes beginning March 11, 2007. Please see Effect of changes to Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the USA on Java (with SASŪ 9.1.3) for complete details.

Java Software Development Kits
The following table identifies Java Software Development Kit (JDK) requirments for supported application servers and z/OS. Application servers and servlet engines require the use of a full JDK. For z/OS, there is no separate Java Runtime Environment, and therefore a JDK must be used with the SAS Foundation. For SAS Java clients and other platforms supported by the SAS Foundation, use the JRE recommendations listed above.
The JREs listed below require an update to support new Daylight Saving Time changes beginning March 11, 2007. Please see Effect of changes to Daylight Saving Time (DST) in the USA on Java (with SASŪ 9.1.3) for complete details.

Web Browsers
The SASŪ Business Intelligence Platform and any solutions built on that platform only support Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher.
The SASŪ 9.1 Foundation was tested using the Web browsers listed below. Higher versions may also be used, but there may be compatibility issues.
For the UNIX and VMS platforms, the SASŪ 9.1 Foundation was developed to support a Mozilla-based browser for Help and Online Documentation display and the viewing of ODS HTML output. SAS recommends the use of the Netscape or Mozilla browser supplied by the operating system vendor.
For the Windows platforms, the SASŪ 9.1 Foundation uses Microsoft Internet Explorer for wbrowse and can use either Microsoft Internet Explorer or an embedded browser to display ODS results.

Web (HTTP) Servers
Web (HTTP) servers are frequently configured for use as proxy servers that support load balancing and firewall configurations in front of Java application servers and servlet containers. They can also be used to handle static content associated with Java web applications. Refer to your selected application server vendor's configuration requirements for a list of HTTP servers that are supported for use in this manner.
