Additional Planning

In addition to performing the initial implementation using SAS Configuration Wizard, you might need to plan for resources for SAS Integration Technologies features as follows:

  1. Determine how your organization intends to use the features of SAS Integration Technologies. These features include the following:

    • distributed applications
    • SAS Foundation Services
    • SAS Stored Processes
    • publish and subscribe

    In addition, you might want to set up tables and libraries.

  2. Determine the hardware and software elements that will be involved in your SAS Integration Technologies implementation. For example, if you are administering a distributed application implementation, you will need to know the communication requirements for connecting your client and server platforms.

    For certain features, you might also require a WebDAV server. The following table details the servers that are required to implement each SAS Integration Technologies feature:

    Metadata on the SAS Metadata Server
    Feature Required Server Definition
    SAS Code Submit and Generate SAS Workspace Server and Spawner
    Tables and Libraries SAS Workspace Server and Spawner
    Packages
    • if published to an archive on a SAS Workspace Server, a SAS Workspace Server and Spawner
    • if published to WebDAV, a WebDAV server
    • if published to a file, no server definition is needed for the package
    Publication Channels
    • if publishing to an archive on a SAS Workspace Server, a SAS Workspace Server and Spawner
    • if publishing to an archive on a WebDAV server, a WebDAV server
    • if publishing to an archive in the file system, no server definition is needed for the publication channel
    SAS Stored Processes - Package Results
    • if stored in an archive on a SAS Workspace Server, a SAS Workspace Server and Spawner
    • if outputting a package to DAV, a WebDAV server
    SAS Stored Processes - Streaming Results SAS Stored Process Server and Login

  3. Determine the additional users that will access the servers, data, and other resources.

  4. Determine security roles and authorization policies for data and other resources.

After you have planned for any additional resources for SAS Integration Technologies, refer to the appropriate section for links that contain instructions about how to modify the initial setup:
