JBoss version required by SAS 9.3?

[Schappy]

I'm installing a new SAS 9.3 environment and am in the process of installing the middle tier. I installed JBoss AS 7.1, but the Deployment Wizard is not recognizing it. The wizard says JBoss Application Server 4.3 is required. Is it necessary to have the Enterprise JBoss version and not the Community version?

The Enterprise JBoss version is not required.  Go to the JBoss Application Server Support for SAS® 9.3 page at http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v93/appservers/jbosssw.html.  I am about to install the jboss-5.1.0.GA version in my environment, and I confirmed with Tech Support and the SAS Installer that it is supported in 9.3.  Ensure that you have the 64-bit version of JBoss, this is a new requirement in 9.3.

SAS does indeed support both the AS version as well as the EAP version.  However, AS 7.1 is a higher version than is currently supported, which is why the Deployment Wizard is balking.  Check out the information on the following page for a description of supported versions:

A link on this page takes you to additional support information for the Community and EAP versions of JBoss (http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/jbossSupport.html).

Thank you both. I will download the version in the link and give it a try.

Thanks again!
