SAS Scalable Performance Data Server 4.5 and
SAS Deployment Wizard
SAS Scalable Performance Data Server (SPD Server) 4.5 can be installed as part of your
initial SAS 9.2 order, or SPD Server 4.5 can be installed as an add-on to an existing SAS
9.2 order. In either case, your SPD Server 4.5 installation will be facilitated by the SAS
Deployment Wizard utility. The SAS Deployment Wizard installs SPD Server to the
following location on your computer:
<SASROOT>
\SASScalablePerformanceDataServer\4.5\
. See your SAS order
documentation for more information about the SAS Deployment Wizard.
Note : <SASROOT> is a placeholder for the full path specification to the base directory of
your SAS 9.2 installation.
Before You Install: Precautions and Required
Permissions
Review the following precautions and list of required permissions before you install SPD
Server:
• SPD Server is compatible with the Microsoft Win32 API. SPD Server 4.5 runs on
computers using Windows NT, Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 2000
operating environments.
• You need Write access to your server machine's
\etc\services
file if you want
SPD Server clients to connect to the SPD Server host using name services instead of
specifying port numbers at invocation. Name services require you to define registered
ports that will use the services file appropriate to your machine.
• If your SPD Server clients access the SPD Server host using name services instead of
specifying port numbers, you need Write access to the services files on the clients in
the path
C:\winnt\system32\drivers\etc\services
.
• Insert the WORKPATH= server option in your spdsserv.parm file. Use the
WORKPATH= option to configure your server to use a high-performance file system.
Ideally, this system has a RAID-structured volume with sufficient disk space to
accommodate the transient storage needs for SPD Server. The
spdsserv.parm file is
located in the
InstallDir\DOWN
directory of your SPD Server host installation.
