SAS 9.1.3 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide

148 Setting Up the Administration Environment for a Promotion Job R Chapter 17
Note: If your source and administration environments will reside on the same
machine, you will already have performed this step. R
2 Use the SAS Software Navigator to perform a Software Index installation of the
SAS Foundation and SAS Management Console. During the installation of the
SAS Foundation, you will have an opportunity to specify which components of the
foundation you want to install. You need to install only Base SAS software.
Note: If your source and administration environments will reside on the same
machine, you will already have performed this step. R
3 Use the SAS Configuration Wizard to configure a metadata server on this host,
following the directions in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation Guide. The
only instructions specific to the current situation are listed below.
a When you are prompted for the metadata server’s port number, enter 8560.
(The 0 in this port number indicates that this instance of the metadata server is
part of the administration environment.)
b Use the Advanced Properties Editor to change the value of the LEVEL property
from Lev1 to Lev0.
c When the configuration wizard generates the instruction file
instructions.html, follow only the instructions for creating a Foundation
repository. Do not follow the instructions that have you enter metadata in the
repository.
Create an Operating System Account for the SAS Replication Administrator
You need to set up a user account for a new user and make this user an
administrative user.
1 Create an operating-system user account for a user with the ID sasrpadm.
2 Make this user an administrative user by adding the user’s ID to the file
adminUsers.txt, which is located in the directory
SAS-config-dir\Lev0\SASMain\MetadataServer. This file should already contain
an entry for the SAS Administrator (sasadm). Add a similar entry for sasrpadm,
but do not place an asterisk before the user ID. You will have to restart the
metadata server for this new setting to take effect.
Define the Source Metadata Server in the Metadata
The remaining instructions for setting up the administration machine involve
creating metadata definitions for the SAS servers that are running on the source
machine and the target machine and creating a definition for the SAS Replication
Administrator. To perform each of these tasks, you should be logged in to SAS
Management Console as the SAS Replication Administrator. You use SAS Management
Console to create the server and user definitions.
To create a definition for the metadata server running on the source machine:
1 Right-click Server Manager, and select New Server. The New Server Wizard
appears.
2 Run the New Server Wizard, supplying the following values:
Note: For any properties that are not listed, you should accept the default
value. R
3 Server type: SAS Application Server
3 Name: Lev 1 - application-server-name (for example, Lev 1 - SASMain)
3 Type of server to add to application server: Metadata Server
