What is SAS Enterprise Miner?
SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1 contains a collection of sophisticated analysis tools that
have a common user-friendly interface that you can use to create and compare multiple
data mining models. Statistical tools include clustering, Kohonen self-organizing maps
(SOM), variable selection, trees, linear and logistic regression, and neural networking.
Data preparation tools include outlier detection, variable transformations, data
imputation, random sampling, and the partitioning of data sets (into train, test, and
validate data sets). Advanced visualization tools enable you to quickly and easily
examine large amounts of data in multidimensional histograms and to graphically
compare modeling results. For more information, see the SAS Enterprise Miner online
Help.

About the SAS Enterprise Miner Single-User Installation
The SAS Intelligence Platform includes some analytics clients such as SAS
Enterprise Miner in a multi-user format, as described in the “Introduction to Installing
the SAS Intelligence Platform” in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and
Configuration Guide. Multiple-user deployments provide for a number of security- and
server-based services, but might seem unnecessarily complex to those who do not need
such services. Therefore, the single-user installation is a simpler process by which you
can install SAS Enterprise Miner on a number of stand-alone Microsoft Windows
machines. For more information about exactly which SAS products are installed, see
“What Is Covered in This Document?” on page 2.
2 About User Accounts

Chapter 1
About User Accounts
The SAS Enterprise Miner single-user installation simplifies the user account
requirements typically seen in a multi-user deployment. After the deployment is
complete, you use the same user account to run SAS Enterprise Miner and any other
SAS client. For the SAS Unrestricted User and the SAS Trusted User accounts, the
SAS Deployment Wizard reuses the same password that you specify for the SAS
Installer account. (By default, the password is set to never expire for these accounts.)
For more information about user accounts, see “Users, Groups, and Roles” in the
Intelligence Platform: Security Administration Guide.
The following table summarizes user accounts and their passwords:

What Is Covered in This Document?
This document describes how to use the SAS Deployment Wizard to install and
initially configure SAS Enterprise Miner on a single machine for a single user.
Note: The migration tools do not fully support the migration of single-user
deployments, but you can follow steps to use SAS Enterprise Miner 5.2 and 5.3 projects
in SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1. For more information, see the SAS Enterprise Miner:

Overview: Deploying SAS Enterprise Miner for a Single-User 3
The complete listing of SAS products installed depends on the deployment plan file
You will need the following to install and execute the SAS products described in this
http://
.
Windows operating system
Windows XP or Windows Vista. (Windows XP Home and Windows Vista Home
versions are not supported.)
Windows user ID and password
The user name must not contain any spaces. The user must be a member of the
Windows Administrators group. This user should be created before running the
SAS Deployment Wizard.
Note: SAS requires that the installer account have the Windows user right
on as batch job
assigned. If this right is not assigned, then the SAS
Deployment Wizard does it for you. When the wizard makes this assignment, you
must reboot your machine before using SAS Enterprise Miner.
4
Available disk space
You will need approximately eight GB available on your hard drive for use by the
SAS software that you are deploying. This requirement might vary depending
upon which deployment plan you use during the installation.
SAS 9.2 order
You obtain your SAS 9.2 order either by downloading it or by receiving media.
This document assumes that you have your SAS 9.2 order in the form of a SAS
Software Depot from which you can then install SAS. For more information, see
“About SAS Software Depots” in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and
Configuration Guide.

Deploying SAS Enterprise Miner for a Single-User
Overview: Deploying SAS Enterprise Miner for a Single-User
The following list summarizes the steps required to install and configure SAS
Enterprise Miner in single-user mode on a single machine:
1 Review the prerequisites, ports, and alert-level SAS Notes.
4 Previous Versions of SAS Enterprise Miner
2 Designate an operating system user account with which you will install and run
SAS.
3
Using the SAS Deployment Wizard, install and initially configure SAS.
The following sections provide a brief description of each of these tasks. Subsequent
chapters in the guide provide the step-by-step instructions for the tasks.
Step 1: Review the Prerequisites, Ports, and Alert-level SAS Notes
Review the prerequisites, ports, and any alert-level SAS Notes. See the following

Step 2: Designate a Windows User Account
Designate a Windows user account that is a member of the Windows Administrators
group on the machine on which you’re deploying SAS 9.2.
Use this account to install SAS and to log in to the various analytics clients after
installation.
Step 3: Install and Configure SAS
Install and configure your SAS software using the SAS Deployment Wizard, an
installation and configuration tool that is supplied by SAS.
Previous Versions of SAS Enterprise Miner
The procedures described in this document will install and initially configure SAS
Enterprise Miner 6.1. If you have an earlier copy of SAS Enterprise Miner on your
machine, these procedures will not affect your existing installation. However, you will
be able to run only one version of SAS at a time.
Note: The migration tools do not fully support the migration of single-user
deployments, but you can follow steps to use SAS Enterprise Miner 5.2 and 5.3 projects
in SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1. For more information, see the SAS Enterprise Miner:

Preparing to Install and to Configure
SAS Deployment Wizard Options
The SAS Deployment Wizard is a cross-platform utility that installs and configures
many SAS products. The wizard uses a SAS installation data file (SID file) and a
deployment plan (plan.xml) for its initial input. The wizard is designed to prompt you
for all of the remaining input at the start of the session so that you do not have to
monitor an entire deployment.
There are two major ways that you can run the SAS Deployment Wizard:
3
interactively
a standard method of providing input using fields in pages with a Back and
Next button navigation method.
3
non-interactively
a record and playback feature that enables you to automate a SAS installation
for use on multiple machines. This feature is designed for large-scale enterprise
deployments to prevent users from having to manually provide input on every
page each time the SAS Deployment Wizard is run on a machine. For more
information, see “Automating the SAS Installation on Multiple Machines” in the
SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.

About SAS Deployment Plans
A SAS deployment plan describes what software should be installed and configured
on each machine in a SAS deployment. A deployment plan is an XML file that is used
as input to the SAS Deployment Wizard. There are two types of deployment plans:
standard and custom. The SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1 single-user installation is
supported only by a small subset of standard deployment plans. The standard
deployment plans that support the single-user installation are the following:
