Overview of Administration Tasks

Before you perform the administration tasks that are outlined in this chapter, you should have successfully completed the following tasks:
  • Use the SAS Deployment Wizard to install and configure your software on each machine in your environment.
  • Complete the post-installation tasks that are described in your Instructions.html file, which is located in the Documents subdirectory of your configuration directory. These tasks include performing manual configuration steps (if applicable), validating your SAS servers, validating your Web applications, and backing up your system.
After the SAS Intelligence Platform has been installed, configured, and validated, you will have a functional system. You can now begin performing administration tasks that are necessary to fully implement the SAS Intelligence Platform in your environment. These include the following categories of tasks:
  • First-Priority Setup Tasks that are necessary to protect the integrity of your system. You should perform these tasks first, as soon as possible after you have completed your installation.
  • Standard Setup Tasks that enable the users in your organization to begin using SAS Intelligence Platform client applications to access and analyze your data.
  • Optional Setup Tasks that you might want to perform to address specific requirements in your environment.
  • Ongoing System Administration Tasks to keep the SAS Intelligence Platform operational.
