Deployment Types

Some SAS Viya administrative tasks and tools vary by deployment type. Here is a brief description of each type:

Deployment Type

Description

Full

Includes all of the software to which you are entitled. This is the default type of deployment.

Programming-only

Excludes SAS Home, most graphical user interfaces, and most services. This is the simplest and smallest type of deployment.

Note: If SAS Home is available (at your equivalent of http://host/SASHome), you do not have a programming-only deployment.

For details, see Diagrams by Deployment Type in SAS Viya: Overview.

Note: The programming-only deployment type is a convenience for sites that choose to install and use only a subset of the software. The programming-only deployment type does not correspond to a limitation in software licensing or entitlement.

1 These are the most common tasks that the provider in a multi-tenant deployment performs.
2 An administrator within a tenant can perform these tasks for that tenant.
3 See your deployment guide (for example, SAS Viya for Linux: Deployment Guide).
4 SAS Viya microservices are not installed on programming-only deployment types. However, you must still restart CAS and SAS Object Spawner.
