To keep pace with changes to third-party technologies, SAS has adopted a general policy of supporting one or more baseline major versions, subsequent minor updates, and subsequent major versions for each officially supported operating system. Only the supported baseline major versions are listed in this document. The full SAS Support policy governing third-party software can be found at https://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/baseline_plus.html.
As part of this policy, SAS strongly encourages customers to install the latest operating-system service packs.
SAS Data Management Standard Server includes the following software:
SAS Data Management Standard Server includes a SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice. It also includes a locale of choice for either the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Contact Information or the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data. If nothing is selected, the English (USA) locale for the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Contact Information is included by default.
The Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable Package (x86) is required. If this software is not already installed on your machine, visit the Microsoft Download Center.
On Windows, OpenSSL 1.0 or later is required. The OpenSSL DLLs must be installed in the Windows system directory or in a directory that is in the system PATH.
In UNIX environments, the vendor-provided OpenSSL library associated with your host must be installed:

It also includes a locale of choice for either the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Contact Information or the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data. If nothing is selected, the English (USA) locale for the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Contact Information is included by default.
SAS Data Management Server Remote Function Call for SAP is included on request. It includes SAS Federation Server Driver for SAP.
Note: On Linux, Visual Process Orchestration requires the libstdc++.so.5 library. If this is not found on your system, install libstdc++ or the compat-libstdc++ RPM containing the libstdc++.so.5 library that is appropriate to your system.
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.
SAS Data Management Standard contains the following SAS data servers that require additional configuration:
The size of each of these data servers is medium.
Note: When you configure your software, the size of each data server must be considered.
Before you install, update, or add products and solutions that result in the deployment of one or more SAS data servers to the same machine, kernel parameter changes for shared memory and semaphores are required. For details about configuration of small, medium, and large data servers, see the section titled Initial Configuration Recommendations in the "Tuning the PostgreSQL Data Server" section of SAS 9.4 Web Applications: Tuning for Performance and Scalability.
SAS Data Management Standard Studio includes a SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice. It also includes a locale of choice for either the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Contact Information or the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Product Data. If nothing is selected, the English (USA) locale for the SAS Quality Knowledge Base for Contact Information is included by default.
