SAS Deployment Wizard is the deployment tool that is used for the installation of SAS Scalable Performance Data Server software. SAS Scalable Performance Data Client software is included with Base SAS.
To support strong encryption, it is strongly recommended that Base SAS be installed and run on the same machine/partition as SAS Scalable Performance Data Server.
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 8.4, SAS x will also support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.7 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.
