IBM WebSphere Application Server Support for SAS® 9.3
This page indicates the minimum version requirements for IBM WebSphere Application Server for use with SAS 9.3. This page also provides URLs for software downloads and important notes about using WebSphere with SAS 9.3.
It is possible to use updated versions of IBM WebSphere Application Server. See SAS® Third-Party Software Requirements - Baseline and Higher Support for more details.
Notes:
- SAS 9.3 supports both WebSphere Application Server and WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment.
- The SAS Deployment Wizard supports automatic configuration only for WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. For WebSphere Application Server, you need to perform manual configuration steps after you run SAS Deployment Wizard.
- Some SAS solutions do not support WebSphere Application Server at all, and some only support WebSphere Application Server Network Deployment. Some solutions do not support all of the versions or platforms listed below. See the system requirements for your SAS solution for definitive information.
- WebSphere is packaged with its own JDK, which cannot be switched for another JDK.
- In SAS 9.3, z/OS is no longer supported as a middle-tier platform.
