System Requirements
SASĀ® Data Quality Advanced 2.6

Overview

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.

Server-Tier Requirements

SAS Data Quality Advanced Server

Select a platform:

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.

Note: SAS Data Management Server Remote Function Call for SAP 2.7 and SAS Federation Server Driver for SAP 4.2 will only be included upon request.

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 Server

SAS Data Quality Advanced contains the following SAS data servers that require additional configuration:

  • SAS Job Monitor Data Server Configuration
  • SAS Data Remediation Data Server
  • SAS Data Management Data Server 

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 Metadata Server

Select a platform:

SAS makes the following recommendations for SAS Metadata Server deployments:

  • a 64-bit host system
  • a dedicated machine to simplify tuning, management, and diagnostics
  • multi-core server hardware because SAS Metadata Server is multi-threaded
  • four or more cores for production 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.


Middle-Tier Requirements

DataFlux Web Studio Mid-Tier

Select a platform:

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.

SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Mid-Tier

Select a platform:

We recommend installing SAS Visual Analytics Administration and Reporting Mid-Tier on a separate machine.

Web Application Servers

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.


Client-Tier Requirements

SAS Data Quality Advanced Studio

Select a platform:

SAS Data Quality Advanced Studio includes a SAS Data Management Contextual Extraction Language Pack of choice. It also includes a Quality Knowledge Base Locale of choice. If not specified, by default, SAS Quality Knowledge Base Locale for English (USA) will be included.

SAS Data Quality Advanced Client

Select a platform:

SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients

SAS Visual Analytics Mobile Clients (SAS Mobile BI) are available for the Apple iPad and Android tablets via free downloads from app stores.
