The Deployment Summary for the Installation

How to Locate the Deployment Summary for the Installation

A Deployment Summary for the installation process is saved in the SAS-installation-directory/InstallMisc/InstallLogs directory. If you exit the SAS Deployment Wizard without installing any updates, then the Deployment Summary is not saved to this directory.

Note: A Deployment Summary for each previous installation is saved in the home directory of the user ID that was used to install SAS. The Deployment Summary for the latest installation of the maintenance release is always available from SAS-installation-directory/InstallMisc/InstallLogs.

About Each Section in the Deployment Summary

Update Summary

The Update Summary lists the products that were updated. Only products that were previously installed on your machine are updated during a maintenance release or when you upgrade to a new product release.

The updates are divided into two categories.

The Products to Install category lists any new products that you installed or any products that you upgraded to a new release.
The Products to Upgrade category lists the products that were updated when you applied a software upgrade, such as a SAS maintenance release or a product-specific maintenance release.

For each product in the Update Summary, there are two columns of release numbers:

The Installed column lists the product release number that was on your machine before you applied the maintenance release or product upgrade.
The Updated column lists the product release number that is on your machine after you applied the maintenance release or product upgrade.

For each product in the Deployment Summary, review the information in “Product Details and Requirements” to determine the post-configuration steps that are necessary for your site. If you do not complete these post-configuration steps, you might experience unexpected behavior or errors that will affect the use of your SAS software.

Installation Section

The Installation section lists whether each product update installed successfully. In the following example, all products installed successfully, so you can complete any post-configuration steps for these products.

Example of Products that were Successfully Installed

However, if a product installation failed or completed with errors (such as the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office in the following example), review the audit files for that product.

The Installation of the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office Completed with Errors

Note: The installation of the SAS Add-In for Microsoft Office might fail if Microsoft Office is not on the machine or if a Microsoft Office product is open.
