Warnings and Notices

The following issues occurred during the automated portion of your configuration and must be addressed before proceeding.

Some of the clients in your environment may need access to the SAS/GRAPH Java applets to view graphical output generated by SAS processes. If so, add the APPLETLOC option to the sasv9_usermods.cfg file located in each SAS Application Server context directory specifying the location to be used in generating graphical output. APPLETLOC should point to a network accessible copy of the SAS/GRAPH Java applets.
Since your deployment includes the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform, the applets can be made available (you must use the correct host and port) via:
```
-APPLETLOC "http://mid-tier-server:mid-tier-port/sasweb/graph"
```
The location of the JUnit jar file was not specified for Deployment Tester. Deployment Tester tests other products that use JUnit for validation. Without JUnit these products may operate properly, but you will not be able to validate them using Deployment Tester.

The JUnit jar is available from the Third Party Software Requirements Web page.

Place the JUnit jar in this location: /usr/local/junit3.8.1/junit.jar
Permissions on the logs directory (/opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Logs) are currently set at 777. We strongly recommend that you narrow access to this directory. To facilitate creation of logs, make sure that the SAS Installer (sas_installer) and the invoker of the Web application server can write to this directory. To facilitate appropriate use of the logs, make sure that administrators can see the directory.

SAS Management Console

SAS Management Console is required to complete many of the following steps.

Startup command	/opt/SAS_9.2/g/SASManagementConsole/9.2/sasmc For easier access, the installation directory /opt/SAS_9.2/g/SASManagementConsole/9.2 can be placed in the executable path environment. Likewise, aliases or symbolic links can be created to reference the command.
User ID	SAS Administrator user ID
Password	Enter the password you created in the SAS Deployment Wizard.

SAS Application Servers

SASMeta - Metadata Server

Host machine	HOSTNAME.company.com
Port	8561
Log directory	/opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/Logs For more details about the initial logging configuration and how to modify it, see "Administering Logging for SAS Servers" in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide at http://support.sas.com/92administration.
Execution type	Shell script /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/MetadataServer.sh

Notes:

The metadata server is configured to use journaling. The metadata journal file is located at /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer/Journal/MetadataJournal.dat. The metadata journal file is updated more quickly than repositories and updated metadata becomes available to clients sooner. Journaling also improves the ability to recover the server and can be recovered from the state of the journal file when the metadata server is restarted.
In the event of severe problems, the metadata server has been instructed to send alert e-mail to Firstname.Lastname@company.com with the sender of the e-mail being identified as SASMeta - Metadata Server (opt/SAS/Config - Lev1) <Firstname.Lastname@company.com>.

This server requires an external account and is available to only the SAS Administrators group.

Notes:

The /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/SASMeta/WorkspaceServer/Logs directory is intended to serve as a placeholder for workspace server logs. Workspace server logs may be directed to this directory in the event that your SAS or IT administrator enables logging. The following default attributes are associated with the Logs directory:
- Universal read, write or execute access is disabled for the directory in order to comply with default installation security requirements
- Execution of a workspace server does not populate the Logs directory
- The Logs directory serves as a placeholder should you enable logging for workspace servers
Enabling workspace server logging should be carefully considered, due to the proliferation of workspace server logs, as well as the requirement to grant universal write access to the Logs directory. To enable workspace server logging, perform the following steps:
- Enable read, write and execute access to the Logs directory
- Modify the workspace server logconfig.xml to enable the desired levels of logging
- Alternately, enable the logconfig.trace.xml logging file to capture workspace server diagnostic logging

Configuring Your JBoss Web Application Server

When you run the SAS Deployment Wizard to install and configure the SAS 9.2 software, you have the option of allowing the SAS Deployment Wizard to configure a JBoss application server configuration for you and to deploy your web applications to that server. You have chosen manual configure of JBoss. The following instructions provide a basic JBoss configuration that uses SAS authentication and unsecure connections. This configuration should support a small number of users. If you need to setup a more sophisticated topology that includes reverse proxy servers, web server authentication, single sign-on, or secure socket connections, please see the SAS 9.2 Intelligence Platform: Web Application Administration Guide at http://support.sas.com/92administration for additional details.

Before configuring JBoss for SAS applications, be sure to review the JBoss Post-Installation Steps if you have not already done so.

The following list contains a summary of configuration actions you need to perform:

JBoss Server Configurations- SASServer1:
The SAS Web Applications require at least one JBoss configuration. The minimal requirements are met by copying the standard configuration named "default" found in /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1. Each server configuration requires a number of tunings:
1. Configure ServiceBindingManager using the port bindings file found at /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/jboss/jboss.port.bindings.xml. The Service Bindings file contains the port settings for the JBoss server. The ServiceBindingManager is configured by adding the following XML code to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml, where "ServerName" should reflect the name of the server configuration and "StoreURL" is the complete path to the jboss.port.bindings.xml file:
```
<mbean code="org.jboss.services.binding.ServiceBindingManager"
name="jboss.system:service=ServiceBindingManager">
<attribute name="ServerName">SASServer1</attribute>
<attribute name="StoreURL">/opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/jboss/jboss.port.bindings.xml</attribute>
<attribute name="StoreFactoryClassName">
org.jboss.services.binding.XMLServicesStoreFactory
</attribute>
</mbean>
```
2. Turn off RMI server class downloads. Modify the "jboss:service=WebService" mbean found in the /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml file. Locate the attribute with 'name="DownloadServerClasses"' and set its value to false.
3. Set ear classloader policy to isolated. Modify the "jboss.j2ee:service=EARDeployer" mbean found in the /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/deploy/ear-deployer.xml file.
4. Modify the web container (tomcat in jboss-web) configuration to suppport body encoding on URI's. Add the attribute - useBodyEncodingForURI="true" - to the connector on port 8080 found in /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/deploy/jboss-web.deployer/server.xml.
5. Create an additional deployment directory called "deploy_sas" in /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1. In addition, add the new directory name to the "jboss.deployment:type=DeploymentScanner" mbean's "URLs" attribute (it should be a comma separated list) found in /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml.
6. JVM options -
  - Before running your JBoss configuration, set JAVA_OPTS environment variable as done in /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/jboss/SASServer1.sh:
  - -d64 -Xms1024m -Xmx2048m -XX:PermSize=512m -XX:MaxPermSize=720m -Xss256k -XX:NewSize=128m -XX:MaxNewSize=256m -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+UseTLAB -XX:+DisableExplicitGC -XX:+CMSIncrementalMode -XX:+CMSClassUnloadingEnabled -XX:+CMSPermGenSweepingEnabled -Dcom.sun.management.jmxremote -Djava.awt.headless=true -Djboss.platform.mbeanserver -Djavax.management.builder.initial=org.jboss.system.server.jmx.MBeanServerBuilderImpl -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsas.container.identifier=jboss -Dsas.auto.publish.port=8080 -Dcom.sas.services.logging.disableRemoteList=true -Dcom.sas.services.logging.disableRemoteLogging=true -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true -Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=false -Dmulticast_udp_ip_ttl=32 -Dmulticast.address=239.41.9.14 -Dmulticast.port=8561 -Djava.security.policy="/jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/sas.all.permissions.policy" -Djboss.home.dir="/jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as" -Djboss.server.home.dir="/jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1" -Dsas.deploy.dir="/jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/deploy_sas" -Dcom.sas.log.config.url=file:///opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/LogConfig/
7. JAAS Configuration:
  - SAS Web Applications need a custom JAAS login module configured in the JBoss server's conf/login-config.xml. Add the elements found in /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/jboss/login-config.xml.
8. Mail Session:
  - Create a file named sas-mail-service.xml in /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/deploy with the same content as /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/jboss/sas-mail-service.xml.
9. JMS Connection Factory:
  - Configure the JMS connection factory named SASTopicConnectionFactory. Add a Connection Factory mbean definition to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml. Add the following
    elements before the end of the
    definition in jboss-service.xml:
    <mbean code="org.jboss.naming.LinkRefPairService" name="jboss.jms:alias=SASTopicConnectionFactory"> <attribute name="JndiName">sas/jms/TopicConnectionFactory</attribute> <attribute name="RemoteJndiName">ConnectionFactory</attribute> <attribute name="LocalJndiName">java:/JmsXA</attribute> <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends> </mbean>
10. JMS Connection Factory:
  - Configure the JMS connection factory named SASQueueConnectionFactory. Add a Connection Factory mbean definition to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml. Add the following
    elements before the end of the
    definition in jboss-service.xml:
    <mbean code="org.jboss.naming.LinkRefPairService" name="jboss.jms:alias=SASQueueConnectionFactory"> <attribute name="JndiName">sas/jms/QueueConnectionFactory</attribute> <attribute name="RemoteJndiName">ConnectionFactory</attribute> <attribute name="LocalJndiName">java:/JmsXA</attribute> <depends>jboss:service=Naming</depends> </mbean>
11. JMS Queue:
  - Configure the JMS queue named AlertQueue. Add a Queue mbean definition to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml. Add the following
    elements before the end of the
    definition in jboss-service.xml:
    <mbean code="org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue" name="jboss.mq.destination:service=Queue,name=AlertQueue"> <depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager</depends> <attribute name="JNDIName">sas/jms/AlertQueue</attribute> </mbean>
12. JMS Queue:
  - Configure the JMS queue named WorkflowQueue. Add a Queue mbean definition to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/conf/jboss-service.xml. Add the following
    elements before the end of the
    definition in jboss-service.xml:
    <mbean code="org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue" name="jboss.mq.destination:service=Queue,name=WorkflowQueue"> <depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager</depends> <attribute name="JNDIName">sas/jms/WorkflowQueue</attribute> </mbean>
13. JDBC Datasource:
  - Configure the JDBC datasource named "SharedServices". Copy "/opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/jboss/SharedServices-ds.xml" to the /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/deploy directory. The following jars containing the driver must be copied to /jboss-eap-4.2/jboss-as/server/SASServer1/lib:
    - /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/TableServerDriver/icu4j.jar
    - /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/TableServerDriver/sas.core.jar

Web Application Custom Content

If you wish to add custom content into SAS web applications, you may do so by placing your custom content into the appropriate custom content directory structure for the given application, and then running the SAS Deployment Manager to rebuild web applications. The custom content root directory for a given web application is

/opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/Server Name/Application Name/CustomContent

For example,

/opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/Web/Common/SASServer1/SASWebReportStudio4.2/CustomContent

Within that directory, there are subdirectories (for example, ears or wars) corresponding to specific archive types (ear and war files, respectively). Under the archive type directories, there are subdirectories for each specific archive—these are the root directories for each archive within the application. Custom content should be placed in the archive's directory tree corresponding to where the content should appear within the archive.

For example, to add the ear_addon.xml file into the addons directory in the sas.webreportstudio ear file, create the

.../CustomContent/ears/sas.webreportstudio/addons

directory, and place ear_addon.xml in it. Our process knows which war files are contained within ear files, so if you want to add war_addon.jar into the WEB-INF/lib directory in the sas.webreportstudio war file within the sas.webreportstudio ear file, then create

.../CustomContent/wars/sas.webreportstudio/WEB-INF/lib

directory, and place war_addon.jar in it.

Once all your custom content is ready to be consumed, run the SAS Deployment Manager and choose to rebuild web applications. Doing so will rebuild the web applications, inserting the custom content into the archives under the appropriate paths. Note that if custom content has the same path and name of content normally included in the archive, then the custom content takes precedence.

Obtaining Additional Information

Additional SAS Intelligence Platform documentation is available from the SAS 9.2 administration documentation web site.

There may be additional configuration steps required for your SAS Foundation software. Consult the SAS Foundation Configuration instructions available for your operating system for product-specific post-installation steps. The configuration instructions are available from the SAS Install Center web site.

Backing up your SAS Metadata Server

After completing your SAS Intelligence Platform configuration, we strongly recommend that you create a backup of your newly configured SAS Metadata Server. If you have adequate disk space to accommodate a copy of all of your metadata repositories on the metadata server host, use the MetadataServer.sh script provided in the /opt/SAS/Config/Lev1/SASMeta/MetadataServer directory. To execute the script, type:

./MetadataServer.sh backup

The script copies all critical metadata server files to a SASBackup subdirectory of the MetadataServer directory.

If disk space is an issue, then use the SAS Backup wizard provided in the SAS Management Console Metadata Manager or the %OMABAKUP macro to perform the backup. Both of these tools copy all critical metadata server files and permit you to specify a different backup destination. For more information, see "About the Backup Wizard" and "About %OMABAKUP" in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide at http://support.sas.com/92administration.

Regular metadata server backups using SAS backup tools are crucial to ensuring the health of your SAS 9.2 Intelligence Platform configuration, but they are just one part of backing up a SAS Intelligence Platform configuration. To devise a backup strategy for your entire SAS Intelligence Platform configuration, see "Best Practices for Backing Up and Restoring Your System" in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide at http://support.sas.com/92administration.
