Working with JMP^®

Note: In order for JMP to work properly with the SAS OnDemand for Academics hosted servers, you must have three specific Java Archive (JAR) files.

If you have purchased and installed JMP (Version 11 or greater) then you can use JMP to connect to the hosted SAS servers that are provdied by SAS OnDemand for Academics. This will enable you to integrate JMP and SAS together.

Before performing these steps, first ensure your system and JMP installation satisfies the JMP System Requirements.

(Note: A SAS OnDemand for Academics account is requried. If you have not yet set up your SAS OnDemand for Academics account, you should do so before performing the steps below. See our Frequently Asked Questions for more details.)

JMP usage within SAS OnDemand for Academics depends on your association with a course that requires the software. For such a course, the associated instructor and all enrolled students will automatically be authorized to use the software.
Once you have created such a course (as an instructor) or enrolled in one (as a student), JMP^® Software access to SAS^® hosted servers should appear under your Applications list.

Please see our SAS OnDemand for Academics support site for more information on creating a course or enrolling in a course as a student.

Install the appropriate JAR files

• To obtain these JAR files, visit the SAS Download Page to request the appropriate download for your particular operating system and version of JMP.
• Follow the instructions to complete the download for either Microsoft Windows or Apple Macintosh.

Note: If the downloaded file does not start a program by default, locate the file on your computer and double-click it. A program will run and install the necessary JAR files in the appropriate directory. It might take a moment for the program to begin to run.

Note: For MacIntosh operating system: JMP requires these JAR files to be installed to the following location: /Library/Application Support/JMP/version/soda/9.4/jars

Please verify that the files are in this location or move them to this location.
