Hello Folks,

We (as in at my institution) have purchased certain number of SAS products among which the Base SAS software, SAS Integration Technologies software, SAS IntrNet software, SAS CONNECT and SAS/ACCESS Interface. Based on products we ordered, the installation kit also came with the SAS Metadata Server.

We have SAS installed and running on a dedicated SAS server which the client computer can access via SAS Enterprise Guide. The SAS server runs on a Windows 2003. The client computer runs on a Windows XP platform. From the client PC I should be able to connect to the SAS server, build the Metadata, run analysis, develop applications to post on the Web. I wonder which of the SAS products should be installed on the SAS server and which products should be on the development computer (client PC). 1- Could anyone shed some light? 2- Also, could anyone kindly explain what the difference is between SAS Integration Technologies software and SAS IntrNet software? Is it worth having both? 3- Finally, does anyone know of any live class on how to set up, maintain and administer the SAS server on a multi-tier setting? I have not been able to get the installation kit to interact with me during this process. I have many questions I can find the answers in the package. I have tried SAS Tech Support and every time, I get a different person on the line with a different approach. I am confused.

Any help is appreciated.
