Administering SAS Web Applications

Deploying SAS OnlineDoc Manually for the Web

Manually Deploy SAS OnlineDoc for the Web

Your installation might include SAS OnlineDoc for the Web, which is an online library of reference documentation for the SAS System. You must manually deploy SAS OnlineDoc for the Web in your Web application server. Manual deployment is required even if you selected the automatic deployment option in SAS Deployment Wizard.

When you installed SAS OnlineDoc for the Web using the SAS Deployment Wizard, you encountered a dialog box that asked whether to create the application's Enterprise Archive (EAR) file. The EAR file that is created is located here:

SAS-installation-directory\Documentation\9.2\onlinedocweb\sas.onlinedocweb9.2.ear

To manually deploy SAS OnlineDoc for the Web, follow these steps:

  1. Make sure that you have configured your Web application server as follows:

    • If you performed a planned installation and chose automatic configuration of the Web application server, then the application server is already configured.

    • If you performed a planned installation and chose manual configuration of the Web application server, then follow the instructions in your Instructions.html file (located in the SAS configuration directory).

    • If you performed a nonplanned installation, then see the instructions for your Web application server on the SAS third-party Web site at http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v92.

  2. Deploy the sas.onlinedocweb9.2.ear file to your Web application server. For deployment instructions, see the documentation that is provided for your Web application server.

    Note:   If you are deploying to WebSphere, then see Change the WebSphere Class Loader Settings.  [cautionend]

If you later need to remove SAS OnlineDoc for the Web, undeploy the application from your Web application server like you would any application. Then, uninstall the application (for example, by using the Add or Remove utility on Windows systems).

Change the WebSphere Class Loader Settings

If you are deploying to WebSphere, then you need to change the class loader settings. After you have added the SAS OnlineDoc for the Web application to WebSphere, follow these steps:

  1. In the WebSphere administrative console, select Applications [arrow] Application Types [arrow] WebSphere enterprise applications. Then select SAS Online Doc for the Web.

  2. Click Class loading and update detection.

  3. For the Class loader order, select the Classes loaded with local class loader first (parent last) radio button.

  4. Leave the WAR class loader policy set to Class loader for each WAR file in application.

  5. Click OK.

  6. Click Manage Modules.

  7. For the sas.onlinedocweb.war WAR file, click the WAR file link. Then, select Classes loaded with local class loader first from the Class loader order list box.

  8. Click Startup behavior, and specify a value for Startup order.

  9. After you have performed the previous step for each WAR file, click OK.

  10. Save your changes.

  11. Perform a full resynchronization of the dmgr and nodeagent WebSphere servers. This action ensures the WAS Master Repository and Node Repository are updated and synchronized. Follow these steps:

    1. In the WebSphere administrative console, select Administration [arrow] Nodes.

    2. Select the check box for the application server node.

    3. Click Full Resynchronize.

Access SAS OnlineDoc for the Web

After you deploy SAS OnlineDoc for the Web, users can access the application by pointing their browser to the following URL:

http://server:port/SASOnlineDoc/oldoc/ui/contents?selectedProduct=ONLINEDOCWEB&macroVersion=9.2&selectedTopic=
doccommon.hlp/onlinedoc_main.htm

In the URL, substitute the server name and port number of your Web application server.
