Administering SAS Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint |
The SAS Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint consists of the following components:
SAS Web Parts
This component is deployed on the SharePoint server.
SAS Web Parts Service
This service runs in a separate IIS application from SharePoint, and can be installed on the same machine where SharePoint resides or on a separate machine.
SAS Web Parts Service for Microsoft SharePoint provides communication between the Web Parts and your SAS servers. This Web service can be hosted on your SharePoint server or another Microsoft Windows machine that is running Microsoft Internet Information Server.
The SAS Web Parts Service must be able to connect to your SAS servers via SAS Integration Technologies. Therefore, a firewall cannot exist between the SAS Web Parts Service and the SAS servers. Because the SAS Web Parts connect to the service via SOAP over HTTPS, a firewall can exist between the SAS Web Parts Service and SharePoint. In the most common and simple deployments, this service runs on the SharePoint server.
