Administrator Guide for SAS 9.1.3 Foundation for Microsoft Windows 65
The SAS Administrator Wizard’s Maintenance Mode
Maintenance Mode, available through the SAS Administrator Wizard, provides a
straightforward method for handling these two Administrator responsibilities:
• Updating Installation Data on the Server Image
If your organization already has a Server installation of SAS software in place,
Maintenance Mode allows you to update the SAS Installation Data file on the server
image. This process is an efficient way to make an updated SAS Installation Data file
available to a large number of users.
• Creating a Quiet Record File
If SAS Setup will be used with Quiet Mode, Maintenance Mode provides a method for
recording a quiet.ini.
To use either of these features in Maintenance Mode, follow these steps:
1. Start at the SAS server location and find the SAW directory.
2. Double-click on setup.exe. The window “Choose Setup Language” appears.
3. Make your Setup Language selection. The SAS Server Maintenance welcome window
appears.
Using Maintenance Mode to Update SAS Installation Data on the
Server Image
With a Server installation of SAS software established, you can update the SAS Installation
Data file on the server image.
