SAS Data Quality Advanced 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.
The default stack size of 256k is not sufficient. Increase the stack size by running export PTHREAD_DEFAULT_STACK_SIZE=1048576.
Minimum of OpenSSL 1.0 is required.
SAS Data Quality Advanced Server includes a SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice and a Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice. If not specified, by default, SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale for English (USA) will be included.

Important: When installing SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server on Windows, SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server only runs on Windows 64-bit operating systems. If Windows 32-bit operating system is necessary, it must be deployed using a Windows 64-bit system. Otherwise, SAS Visual Process Orchestration Server cannot be deployed on Windows.

Apache Hadoop software is distributed with SAS software as a convenience. For support information, see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/ApacheHadoopSupport.html.
SAS Data Quality Advanced 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 “Tuning the SAS Data Server“ in the guide SAS 9.4 Web Applications: Tuning for Performance and Scalability, Second Edition. at http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/intellplatform/tabs/admin94.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.
To avoid deployment issues with your SAS software, make sure that Java 6 or higher is installed on the host before you begin the SAS deployment process.
We recommend 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.
