As you say, you could definite machine-specific queues.   You can also define a machine-specific resource on each machine, and then specify that resource name in the reqres job option when submitting a job.  There may be a way to simply pass a machine's name in the resources requested string of the reqres option, but I didn't find it after a quick scan of doc.  The reqres job option is covered here.  For more information, please consult the Platform LSF Reference documentation. ...

Not having the cleanmgr executable (or the SAS temporary files folder) raises the suspicion that your install may not be complete.  You might try reinstalling the SAS Desk Cleanup Handler, but make sure you've got .NET Framework 2.0 installed as well (ref: http://support.sas.com/kb/38/176.html).     ...

There could be a number of issues here, but I'm going to assume the problem is with the agent reporting data to SAS Environment Manager.  Please check the wrapper.log and agent.log files in:      SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\Web\SASEnvironmentManager\agent-5.8.0-EE\log\   If the information provided in these logs doesn't prove useful, I believe your next step would be to contact SAS Technical Support. ...

As you mention, the What's New in SAS 9.4 doc is the definitive location for a list of new features/functionality in 9.4M4.  Since this guide contains information on all 9.4 maintenance releases, you'll need to search for references to the "fourth maintenance release" to get a list specifically tailored for this latest maintenance.  That said, here's a quick, but certainly not exhaustive, list of associate enhancements:   JSON LIBNAME engine ODS accessibility support (tagged PDF output) Updates to certain included 3rd party software SAS Deployment Wizard enhancements, especially related to configuration updating SAS Studio 3.6 Enterprise Guide 7.13, including enhanced DATA step debugger New 14.2 versions of Advanced Analytics products (SAS/STAT, SAS/ETS, SAS/IML, ...) SAS Viya enablement of code node in SAS Enterprise Miner, SAS Studio, and DI Studio I encourage you to consult the What's New guide for a more complete list. ... View more

With SAS Environment Manager, you can create and modify metadata definitions for Base SAS libraries, SAS LASR Analytic Server libraries, and SAS LASR Analytic Servers.  For all other data sources, you must use SAS Management Console.   See this comparison for a description of what can be done in SAS Environment Manager vs. SAS Management Console. ...

I believe the best description for the installation process of SAS Web Parts is found here:   http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/wbptswssag/67334/PDF/default/wbptswssag.pdf   I'm assuming your SharePoint server is separate from your SAS servers.  When the SDW was initially run to set up your environment, it probably created a directory in your configuration directory to house the Web parts per the above doc.  If you didn't have it deploy the Web Parts to your SharePoint server, you'll need to follow the instructions to Manually Install the SAS Web Parts on that server.  It's frequently the case that the SAS Web Parts files get created by the SDW on one of your SAS servers (as dictated by your deployment plan) and you copy the appropriate files out of your configuration directory on that SAS server to the system containing the SharePoint server.   If you didn't have the SDW create the SAS Web Parts files in a SAS configuration directory during the initial deployment, you'll need to make sure your original deployment plan contains SAS Web Parts, and yes - use it again to deploy SAS Web Parts.  If the SAS Web Parts weren't part of your original deployment plan (used two years ago), you'll need to get a new plan from SAS.   If you don't feel like the aforementioned doc is helping your through this, it's probably worth giving Tech Support a call to help walk you through it. ...

Maintenance release upgrades, including from 9.4M2 to 9.4M3 don't require a plan file (unless you're adding products as part of the upgrade).  If you're truly adding on Web Parts for Microsoft SharePoint to an existing SAS deployment, you will want to specify the same deployment plan as was originally used for this 9.4 deployment.  Assuming that plan reflects the product mix including Web Parts for SharePoint, you'd go through the Typical or Custom path of the SDW per the documentation mentioned earlier in this thread (specifically, Custom is used if you want to leverage a "shared identity"). ...

Note the doc reference you provided was for 9.2, but you should be using the 9.4 doc (based on your initial post).  You'll find that here:   http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/biig/69172/PDF/default/biig.pdf   Note that there is no "-uninstall" option to use when running the SAS Deployment Manager in -quiet mode.  You just specify -quiet and your -responsefile.  Alternatively, you can specify -quiet -uninstallall in order to quietly uninstall all products.   More information on quietly installing (or uninstalling) can be found in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4 User's Guide here:   https://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikdeploywizug/66034/PDF/default/user.pdf   If you continue to have trouble playing back a captured response file using the syntax described there, I suggest you open a track with Tech Support to help you diagnose the issue.   ...
