SAS Anti-Money Laundering is available for both Distributed and Non-distributed SAS LASR Analytic Server deployments. These system requirements apply to both LASR deployments. The headings below indicate whether components apply to a specific LASR deployment type.
To keep pace with changes to third-party technologies, SAS has adopted a general policy of supporting one or more baseline major versions and subsequent minor updates for each officially supported operating system. For example, if the baseline for SAS x is Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1, SAS x will also support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.7 under this policy.
The full SAS Support policy that applies to third-party software can be found at https://support.sas.com/en/documentation/third-party-software-reference/baseline-and-higher.html. As part of this policy, SAS strongly encourages customers to install the latest operating-system service packs.
A hot fix and an upgrade to SAS 9.4M7 are required for SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1. For more information, see Middle-Tier Requirements.
SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1 with Hot Fix 5 or later is required to support the following operating systems:
SAS Anti-Money Laundering requires Apache Solr 5.5.5 to support search-related capabilities. It must be installed on the Server tier. It can also be installed in a standalone or cloud configuration; however, you must install it on a platform that matches the Server tier.
Note: Whether you are using a standalone or cloud configuration, a network drive that is accessible to the Server tier and the Solr installation is required.
SAS Anti-Money Laundering Alert Generation Server includes a SAS Quality Knowledge Base for English (US). It also includes one of the following:
Because SAS Quality Knowledge Base for English is required, an additional Quality Knowledge Base in a language of your choice is also included in your license. This language does not have to be the same as the language that you select for the SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack, which accompanies SAS Data Quality Standard Server (see below). However, the language that you select for the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data must be the same on all servers.
SAS Anti-Money Laundering Alert Generation Server also includes one of the following SAS/ACCESS engines of choice:
SAS Data Management Data Server includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice or a SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data of choice. Select the same language that you selected for SAS Anti-Money Laundering Alert Generation Server.
SAS Data Management Data Server also includes two standard SAS/ACCESS engines of choice, and three SAS Metadata Bridges of choice. Select the same SAS/ACCESS engines that you selected for SAS Anti-Money Laundering Alert Generation Server. In addition, General Industry Standards is included automatically.
Although SAS Data Management Server is supported on z/OS, it has some limitations related to connectivity or functionality.
SAS Data Quality Standard Server includes a SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice.
It also includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale or a Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data in the same language that you selected for SAS Anti-Money Laundering Alert Generation Server.
SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server is only required when the SAS Data Quality Standard Server is running on 32-bit Windows. SAS Visual Process Orchestration must be installed on a separate machine, however, because it does not support 32-bit Windows. For more information, see the SAS Visual Process Orchestration System Requirements document, available on the Install Center website.
SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice.
SAS recommends that you install SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server on a separate machine from the solution software.
Inclusion of SAS Visual Analytics LASR Server
For Hadoop Support
Base SAS, SAS/ACCESS engines, and SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server can be installed on the head node of the commodity hardware (symmetric) or on separate hardware (asymmetric). The Distributed LASR Base SAS components for SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting can therefore be installed on Windows for x64 while working with the Linux for x64 LASR grid.
SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server includes a standard SAS/ACCESS engine of choice. Select the same SAS/ACCESS engine that you selected for the SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server.
Install SAS Solution LASR Analytic Server on the same operating system as SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Server.
Use of a colocated Hadoop File System (HDFS) is optional, but it requires a supported Hadoop environment and SAS Plug-ins for Hadoop (which are included with your license). For information about supported Hadoop distributions, refer to https://support.sas.com/en/documentation/third-party-software-reference/9-4/support-for-hadoop.html. The plug-ins require additional configuration. For more information, see SAS High-Performance Analytics Infrastructure 3.5: Installation and Configuration Guide at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/hp-analytics-infrastructure/index.html.
SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:
The disk I/O performance of any server-class system should be sufficient. Memory requirements are highly dependent on the product mix and usage, but 8 GB of RAM are sufficient for most large deployments. For many deployments, 4 GB of RAM are sufficient and should be considered a minimum, unless the specific deployment is tested and verified to require less memory.
Starting with the 22w08 ship event, SAS Web Application Server is based on Apache Tomcat. The previous web application server, based on Pivotal tc Server, is no longer supported for use with SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1. You must upgrade to SAS 9.4M7 and install Hot Fix 15 in order to continue running SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1. Download the hot fix from the SAS Support website.
Starting with SAS 9.4M7, the SAS Web Server (a specific version of the Apache HTTP Server) that is delivered with the middle tier cannot be configured on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11. Install the SAS Web Server on SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 or another supported operating system. As an alternative, you can choose not to install the SAS Web Server.
SAS recommends installing SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Mid-tier on a separate machine.
When you install your SAS solution software, SAS Deployment Manager installs and configures the required web application servers and web servers.
To install these servers, select one of the supported operating systems for the middle tier.
Note: These servers cannot be installed on the z/OS or 32-bit Windows platforms.
SAS Anti-Money Laundering supports the following databases:
For the databases listed above, SAS Anti-Money Laundering supports the same database versions as the corresponding SAS 9.4 Foundation SAS/ACCESS Interface product. For more information, refer to the specific "System Requirements for SAS 9.4 Foundation" document that corresponds to your operating system. You can find these documents on the SAS Support website.
Notes:
SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1 with Hot Fix 5 or later is required to support the following operating systems:
SAS Anti-Money Laundering 7.1 requires Apache Solr 5.5.5 to support search-related capabilities. This software is required for system operation.
Note: For proper Solr operation, a network drive that is accessible to the Server tier as well as to the Solr installation is required.
SAS Data Management Standard Studio is limited to five users.
SAS Data Management Standard Studio includes a Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice. It also includes either a SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale or a Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data in the same language that you selected for the SAS Anti-Money Laundering Alert Generation Server.
The SAS Visual Analytics Apps are supported on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets, and on computers and tablets running Microsoft Windows 10. Each app is written specifically for its operating system and provides native support for these devices so that you can view reports on your mobile device. You can download the apps for free from the Apple App Store, Google Play, and the Microsoft Windows Store.
SAS recommends using the SAS Visual Analytics Apps for iOS, Android, and Windows 10 to view and interact with reports on mobile devices.
