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
4
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:

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

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:
8 Install and Configure SAS Enterprise Miner Interactively
Enterprise Miner, one machine
deploys SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS ETS Model
Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Enterprise Miner for Desktop, one machine
deploys SAS Enterprise Miner for Desktop 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS
ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Enterprise Miner and Text Miner, one machine
deploys SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS Text Miner 4.1,
SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Enterprise Miner for Desktop and Text Miner, one machine
deploys SAS Enterprise Miner for Desktop 6.1 and SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS
Text Miner 4.1, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS Management Console 9.2.
Data Mining for the Classroom, one machine
deploys SAS Data Mining for the Classroom, SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1, SAS
Enterprise Guide 4.2, SAS Text Miner 4.1, SAS ETS Model Editor 2.1, and SAS
Management Console 9.2.
These standard plans are a part of your SAS 9.2 order. Later, you will select one of
these plans to deploy your SAS software.
At the end of the SAS deployment, the SAS Deployment Wizard makes a copy of the
deployment plan it used. The deployment plan can be helpful when you want to add
another SAS product or change your SAS configuration. The wizard stores a copy of the
deployment plan in the SAS configuration directory in the utilities directory, and inserts
a date-and-time stamp to the deployment plan filename. For example:
C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Utilities\plan.2009-03-31-11.04.xml
To download the latest SAS 9.2 standard deployment plans that also contain a
corresponding architectural diagram and pre-installation checklist, go to

Install and Configure SAS Enterprise Miner Interactively
Installing and configuring SAS Enterprise Miner interactively with the SAS
Deployment Wizard consists of two main phases:
3
Providing installation information such as the following:
3
SAS installation directory name
3
deployment plan
3
Providing configuration information such as the following:
3
SAS configuration directory name
3
required user account credentials
This topic describes most of the configuration pages that you encounter during the
configuration phase of a SAS 9.2 deployment. The type and number of
configuration-related pages you encounter depends on the deployment plan that you
choose and the contents of your SAS 9.2 custom order. For information about all SAS
Deployment Wizard prompts, see the online Help for the wizard page in question.
To install and configure SAS Enterprise Miner interactively, complete these steps:

4 If you have an earlier version of SAS Enterprise Miner installed, make sure that
the SAS services in that earlier deployment are stopped and set to manual. For
more information, see “Previous Versions of SAS Enterprise Miner” on page 4.
5
Open a Windows command prompt and start the SAS Deployment Wizard from
the highest-level directory in your SAS Software Depot by using the following
command:
setup.exe -record -deploy
Note: Using the
-record -deploy
options causes the wizard to create a
response file that records the inputs that you supplied. This can be helpful when
you want to repeat the deployment on other machines or you want to troubleshoot
a deployment issue.
4
By default, the deployment wizard writes the response file in the following
location:
C:\Documents and Settings\current-user\sdwresponse.properties
For information about how to play back a response file, see “Playing Back a SAS
Deployment Wizard Response File” in the SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation

17 On the Local Machine Name page, enter the complete name of the local host in the
Fully-qualified Local Host Name box. The fully qualified local host name
typically takes the form of the local host name plus the domain name server (for
example, myserver.example.com). Enter a short host name in the
Host Name
box. The short local host name is the abbreviated, more common
Short Local
method of referring to the host, usually only a single word.
Note: If your machine uses different names depending on the state of the
network connection, then you should specify the short machine name in both the
Fully-qualified Local Host Name and Short Local Host Name boxes.
This situation is common on laptops with wireless network connections. When
the network is enabled, the machine name is fully qualified (for example,
mymachine.example.com). When the laptop is running without a network
connection, then the laptop machine name is the short local host name (for
example, mymachine). SAS uses the value of
Short Local Host Name for
labeling purposes only and it is never used to do anything related to networking.

18 On the Single-User Account page, enter a Windows account that is known to the
machine and is a member of the Windows Administrators group. (This is the
account with which you will log on to the SAS 9.2 analytics clients that you are
installing.)
19 On the E-mail Server page, enter the port and host name for an SMTP e-mail
server that the SAS Metadata Server uses to send e-mail alerts to an
administrator if journaling issues arise. The SAS Deployment Wizard also uses
this e-mail server as the default for the SAS Application Server to provide e-mail
services to various SAS clients.
Deploying SAS Enterprise Miner in Single-User Mode
Note: If you do not know the name of your SMTP e-mail server, or do not have
such a server, then entering a dummy value enables the installation to continue.
However, you will not receive e-mail notifications should your metadata server run
low on disk space.

Unconfigure Your SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1 Deployment
The SAS Deployment Manager enables you to unconfigure some or all of your SAS
Enterprise Miner 6.1 deployment.
When troubleshooting your deployment, you might need to unconfigure one or more
components. In this situation, after unconfiguring, you would rerun the SAS
Deployment Wizard and reconfigure those components. For more information, see
“Configure or Deploy New SAS Components” in the SAS Intelligence Platform:
Installation and Configuration Guide.
If you want to remove your SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1 deployment, then you first
need to unconfigure all the SAS components in your deployment, and then uninstall
them. For information about uninstalling, see “Uninstall Your SAS Enterprise Miner
6.1 Deployment” on page 25.
To unconfigure some or all of your SAS Enterprise Miner 6.1 deployment, follow

Glossary
authentication
31
the process of verifying the identity of a person or process within the guidelines of a
specific authorization policy.
authentication domain
a SAS internal category that pairs logins with the servers for which they are valid.
For example, an Oracle server and the SAS copies of Oracle credentials might all be
classified as belonging to an OracleAuth authentication domain.
connection profile
a client-side definition of where a metadata server is located. The definition includes
a computer name and a port number. In addition, the connection profile can also
contain user connection information.
credentials
the user ID and password for an account that exists in some authentication provider.
deploy
to install an instance of operational SAS software and related components. The
deployment process often includes configuration and testing as well. See also migrate.
deployment plan
information about 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. A standard deployment plan describes a common configuration. Standard
plans are stored by default in the SAS Software Depot. A custom deployment plan is
created by a SAS representative specifically for a site.
domain
a database of users that has been set up by an administrator by using a specific
authentication provider such as LDAP or the host operating system. The domain
name should be unique within your enterprise. For example, you should not have a
Windows domain and a UNIX domain that are both named "SALES". See also
authentication domain.
Extensible Markup Language
a markup language that structures information by tagging it for content, meaning, or
use. Structured information contains both content (for example, words or numbers)
32 Glossary
and an indication of what role the content plays. For example, content in a section
heading has a different meaning from content in a database table. Short form: XML.
Java
a set of technologies for creating software programs in both stand-alone
environments and networked environments, and for running those programs safely.
Java is a Sun Microsystems trademark.
login
a SAS copy of information about an external account. Each login includes a user ID
and belongs to one SAS user or group. Most logins do not include a password.
metadata identity
a metadata object that represents an individual user or a group of users in a SAS
metadata environment. Each individual and group that accesses secured resources on
a SAS Metadata Server should have a unique metadata identity within that server.
metadata object
a set of attributes that describe a table, a server, a user, or another resource on a
network. The specific attributes that a metadata object includes vary depending on
which metadata model is being used.
object spawner
a program that instantiates object servers that are using an IOM bridge connection.
The object spawner listens for incoming client requests for IOM services. When the
spawner receives a request from a new client, it launches an instance of an IOM
server to fulfill the request. Depending on which incoming TCP/IP port the request
was made on, the spawner either invokes the administrator interface or processes a
request for a UUID (Universal Unique Identifier).
planned deployment
a method of installing and configuring a SAS business intelligence system. This
method requires a deployment plan that contains information about the different
hosts that are included in the system and the software and SAS servers that are to
be deployed on each host. The deployment plan then serves as input to an
installation and configuration tool called the SAS Deployment Wizard.
SAS data set
a file whose contents are in one of the native SAS file formats. There are two types of
SAS data sets: SAS data files and SAS data views. SAS data files contain data
values in addition to descriptor information that is associated with the data. SAS
data views contain only the descriptor information plus other information that is
required for retrieving data values from other SAS data sets or from files that are
stored in other software vendors’ file formats.
SAS Deployment Wizard
a cross-platform utility that installs and initially configures many SAS products.
Using a SAS installation data file and, when appropriate, a deployment plan for its
initial input, the wizard is designed to prompt the customer for all the remaining
input at the start of the session so that the customer does not have to monitor an
entire deployment.
SAS installation data file
a control file containing license information that is required in order to install SAS.
SAS Management Console
a Java application that provides a single user interface for performing SAS
administrative tasks.
SAS Metadata Server
Glossary 33
a multi-user server that enables users to read metadata from or write metadata to
one or more SAS Metadata Repositories. The SAS Metadata Server uses the
Integrated Object Model (IOM), which is provided with SAS Integration Technologies,
to communicate with clients and with other servers.
SAS Software Depot
a file system that consists of a collection of SAS installation files that represents one
or more orders. The depot is organized in a specific format that is meaningful to the
SAS Deployment Wizard, which is the tool that is used to install and initially
configure SAS. The depot contains the SAS Deployment Wizard executable, one or
more deployment plans, a SAS installation data file, order data, and product data.
SAS Workspace Server
a SAS IOM server that is launched in order to fulfill client requests for IOM
workspaces.
service
one or more application components that an authorized user or application can call at
any time to provide results that conform to a published specification. For example,
network services transmit data or provide conversion of data in a network, database
services provide for the storage and retrieval of data in a database, and Web services
interact with each other on the World Wide Web. See also SAS Foundation Services.
SID file
See SAS installation data file.
spawner
See object spawner.
trusted user
a privileged service account that can act on behalf of other users on a connection to
the metadata server.
unrestricted user
a special user of a metadata server who can access all metadata on the server (except
for passwords, which an unrestricted user can overwrite but cannot read). An
unrestricted user can also perform administrative tasks such as starting, stopping,
pausing, and refreshing the metadata server. You are an unrestricted user if your
user ID is listed in the adminUsers.txt file and is preceded by an asterisk.
workspace
in the IOM object hierarchy for a SAS Workspace Server, an object that represents a
single session in SAS.
XML
See Extensible Markup Language.
