Starting the Web Applications

Main Steps for Starting the Web Applications

To start the Web applications, follow these steps:

Start the SAS servers and services in the correct order. For more information about the sequence, see “Overview of Server Operation” in SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
Start a browser session and point the browser to the Web application that you want to access. For the correct URL, see the Instructions.html document, which resides in the Documents subdirectory of your configuration directory. The exact URL varies with the Web application server that you are using and the configuration that you have defined for your environment.
Log on to the Web application. For instructions about logging on to a Web application, see the online Help that is provided with the application.

Deploying and Starting Web Applications in the Correct Order

The SAS Deployment Wizard deploys SAS Web applications to the Web application server. However, you can also deploy Web applications manually from the Web application server. The Web applications are in the SAS-config-dir\Lev1\Web\Staging directory.

There is no required start-up order for deploying the Web applications to JBoss or WebLogic Server. Although you can deploy and start the Web applications in any order of your choice, it is recommended that you follow the sequence used for WebSphere Application Server. For WebSphere Application Server, the sequence for starting the first five Web applications is important because the start-up sequence matters between these five Web applications. The recommended sequence for 1 to 5 can be used directly as the number to enter in the Startup order field for WebSphere Application Server.

SAS Web Application Themes (sas.themes.ear)
SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Services (sas.wip.services9.3.ear)
SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Applications (sas.wip.apps9.3.ear)
SAS Content Server (sas.wip.scs9.3.ear)
SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.3 (sas.portal4.3.ear)

The remaining Web applications can be deployed or started in any order, including starting them before the applications in the previous list.
