About Deployment

This chapter describes manual deployment of the SAS In-Database Deployment Package. SAS sends an email to a contact person at your business or organization. This email includes instructions for downloading your software to the SAS Software Depot. After downloading the software, you can install it manually. The conditions under which you install manually are described in When to Deploy the SAS In-Database Deployment Package Manually.

Before Deployment

If you are installing a new version or reinstalling a previous version of the SAS In-Database Deployment Package, you must first remove the current version. For this procedure, see Upgrading from or Reinstalling a Previous Version.

Overview of Deployment Steps

Here are the tasks to be completed during deployment:

Configure Kerberos, if appropriate, and then provide required configuration values to the vApp user.
Identify a Windows server in a shared network location that is accessible to vApp users.
Review the Hadoop Environment topic from the system requirements for SAS Data Loader 2.4.
Install the SAS In-Database Deployment Package.
Collect required files from the Hadoop cluster.
Make the required vApp directories available on the Windows server in the shared network location.
Install additional components, if necessary.
Configure the Hadoop cluster, and then provide required configuration values to the vApp user.
Check for SAS Notes and hot fixes that might be available.

Note: If you switch to a different distribution of Hadoop after the initial installation of SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop, you must reinstall and reconfigure SAS In-Database Technologies for Hadoop on the new Hadoop cluster.
