SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

n You can alert users by displaying a warning message before the users are logged
out of their inactive sessions. For information about using this feature, see the SAS
Intelligence Platform: Middle-Tier Administration Guide.
n You can choose to enable unchallenged access to the portal. Users can then access
the portal and interact with selected content without providing a user ID and
password. The option is similar to the Public Kiosk feature in the SAS 9.1.3 release
of the SAS Information Delivery Portal.
n A Diagnostics Portlet enables you to view information about the portal's
environment.
The SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java is no longer supported. It has been replaced by
functionality that is available in SAS Web Report Studio. Therefore, the SAS Information
Delivery Portal 4.31 contains the following changes:
n Bookmarks and data explorations are not supported.
n All data explorations are migrated to SAS Web Report Studio 4.31 reports. However,
users can still use the search capabilities within the SAS Information Delivery Portal
4.31 to find those reports, as well as information maps.
n The SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.31 includes a new Report Portlet that displays
SAS Web Report Studio 4.31 reports.
n During software updates, the SAS Information Delivery Portal converts instances of
the Information Map Viewer portlet to the new Report Portlet.
n Visual Data Explorer is not available to display information maps.

If the SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.31 runs on a JBoss Web application server and
Secure Sockets Layer is configured in your environment, then edit the server.xml file to
specify the emptySessionPath parameter within the section on SSL Connector. This
is necessary to enable the SAS BI Portlets to run in this environment.
