Software Components

Here is an introduction to selected components:
mobile viewers
mobile apps that support native interactions with reports and dashboards on mobile devices. See the SAS Mobile BI page on the SAS support site.
web applications
provide role-based access to an integrated suite of functionality.
SAS LASR Authorization Service
enforces data access permissions.
SAS Visual Analytics Hyperlink Service
supports functionality such as report distribution, linking, and alerts.
SAS Visual Analytics Transport Service
supports communication from SAS Mobile BI, provides integration with SAS Office Analytics (SAS Enterprise Guide, SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office, and SAS Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint), and supports printing of reports.
SAS LASR Analytic Server
provides secure, multi-user, concurrent access to in-memory data. See SAS LASR Analytic Server.
SAS LASR Analytic Server Monitor
supports monitoring of a distributed server and browsing of co-located HDFS content, if applicable. See Supporting the Monitoring Features.
SAS Intelligence Platform
servers and services that support SAS solutions. Here are some examples of how SAS Visual Analytics uses platform servers:
  • The metadata server provides metadata management.
  • The SAS Content Server stores digital content in the middle tier. Reports are stored in both metadata and the content server. Explorations are stored exclusively in metadata.
  • SAS Information Retrieval Studio and Search Interface to SAS Content index SAS content and support search features on the home page.
  • The workspace server supports tasks such as registering tables, staging data, importing data, loading data, and starting or stopping the SAS LASR Analytic Server.
  • For more examples, see Add a New Server.
