SAS 9.4 TS1M3 installation on CentOS or Redhat

crsp — Thu, 07 Nov 2019 14:18:10 GMT

I usually install SAS 9.4 onto Windows 10 desktops, but had to install onto a linux distro, Centos or Red Hat. Keep getting error about SAS Private Java Runtime Environment. I tried to install using CentOS 6 and 7, same error.

I search support areas without any luck, most cases are about upgrades not new installs.

Thanks for any solutions.

@crsp ,

What plan file did you select in the deployment wizard?

Install SAS foundation and Related Software.

A planned deployment is essential if you require a metadata-enabled SAS architecture with metadata, application and web tiers.

If you plan to use Enterprise Guide as your SAS client then metadata-enablement is essential.

This is how I deploy our 80+ Windows 10 desktop without problems.

So does that mean you will use your CentOS or Redhat servers as desktops too then if that is the way you wish to configure them?

Please advise how you wish to use your linux servers so we can provide better help. For starters, are you going to use any SAS client tools with them and if so which ones.

Yes, desktop use only. The installation uses just the default tools, no extra tools. I just click Next for most replies. Would be fine if the Jana runtime work as it should.

OK, I think you would be better off tracking this to SAS Tech Support so they can diagnose further. There could be an incompatibility between the Java version in SAS 9.4M3 and the version of the OS you are installing on. They should be able to identify this and suggest a solution. A more recent SAS maintenance release might fix this.

found my own solution.

I used the later version and it works fine.

SAS 9.4 TS1M3 940 16w44
