SAS Decision Manager on
SAS 9.4 provides support for multiple SAS Application Servers that
can be used when specifying a performance definition, a scoring test,
or a model retrain definition.
To add a new workspace
server to your SAS Decision Manager installation:
-
On the machine where
the SAS Application Server was installed, start the SAS Deployment
Wizard from the highest-level directory in your SAS Software Depot
using the command file that is appropriate for your operating system.
On Windows systems that command file is setup.exe. For UNIX systems,
use setup.sh.
-
Select Install
SAS Software. Click Next.
-
Select Perform
a Planned Deployment, deselect Install SAS
Software, and select only Configure SAS Software.
Click Next.
-
You must use the same
deployment plan that was used when you installed the original server
component. This example uses one of the standard deployment plans.
Choose Select a standard deployment plan, and
select the appropriate Model Mgr plan for your
machine configuration. Click Next.
-
Select the server machine
on which you want to configure the SAS Application Server. Click Next.

a first user ID. Click Next.
