Hello everyone,
I am having a problem with new deployment of SAS 9.4 in an enterprise solution.
I received the SAS software depot from one internal colleague who used the SAS Download Manager and I don`t know what options he checked there (so it`s a black box for now - he is out of office). When I am going through the Deployment Wizard the option of selecting a plan is skipped (that window is not even in the wizard) it goes directly to the selection of products. So I can only install as a local full installation.
Like it is normal in an enterprise I want to install it according to a plan (at least a standard one) with metadata and all the servers in one place and the clients in another place. Without being able to chose a plan I can`t do that and it doesn't install any server locally nor being able to configure anything like metadata server, app server, object spawner etc.
The order e-mail clearly specifies that it is a planned installation.
Do you think that something might have been wrongly chosen in the download manager?
Or do you think that it is something wrong with the order received by e-mail?
The SAS Software Depot includes documentation on what has been downloaded. Check through the folders and view any files that describe the contents. Also a plan file folder should be present, if a planned install is required, called plan_files with should contain a file called plan.xml. If there isn't a plan included in the deployment then the download is obviously wrong.

Hello @Alin1984,
how are you launching the SDW? Any command line parameters?
Before you launch it next time, I would go you your OS profile and I would delete (or backup/rename) the SASDeploymentWizard folder. It might be the case that is storing/caching some option from the past.
