Requirements for the SAS/SHARE^® Driver for JDBC

The SAS/SHARE driver for JDBC is fully compliant with the JDBC 2.0 API. It implements the basic 2.0 Core functionality but does not implement the advanced 2.0 Core features of scrollability, batch update, and programmatic update. Before you can write and deploy programs using the classes that are provided with the SAS/SHARE driver for JDBC, your intranet must meet the following requirements:

• Your Java environment supports JDK 1.4.1.

  Note: An earlier version of the JDK might work but is not supported by SAS.

• Your SAS server is running SAS, Version 6 or later. SAS/SHARE software is installed as part of your SAS server.

• Your Web server runs on the same machine as your SAS server or has network access to the machine running your SAS server.

  or,

  Your Web server and your SAS server are installed on different machines, and you install the tunnel feature or ensure that all of your users have the Java Plug-In. If you choose to use the plug-in, users must have it configured to allow the applet to communicate with servers other than the Web server from which it was downloaded.

• Applet users must have network access to the Web server where the Java Tools are installed and must use a Java-enabled browser, such as:
  • Netscape Navigator version 3.0 and later
  • Microsoft Internet Explorer version 3.02 and later
