rant off I hope, at least the part about the cache size adjustment helps you :) I think when V4 comes out, i'm going to ZIP it up with a batch file to unzip and run, because thousands of tiny files (package source is like 14,000 last i checked) transferring over http/https takes forever, and kills the DP while its happening to many clients simultaneously.
As such, I simply wrote a script to adjust my Cache size to 30GB and pushed it to all my machines via a mandatory job, and in all my OSD task sequences. I know the older version(s) 9.2 or 9.1 would make a lockfile which prevented mass deploys via SCCM or Altiris unless i downloaded all 10-15GB locally. I don't plan on pushing SAS 9.4 until next April, whereby it will be the only version i'm pushing.įor the 5gb cache issue, I found that SAS doesn't like to install directly over a network share. I was so pissed off that i said "fuck it" and haven't pushed SAS 9.4 yet. To directly answer your question, SAS 9.4 came out a few weeks after we had completed our license renewal of 9.2 and 9.3 around April. The best is the license file expires 1x per year, but instead of letting me do a file copy with a new license file, or use a license SERVER, i also need to run a "licensemanager" script to activate the new license (which again has to be requested separately for each version, architecture, and license) I have to maintain lovely freaking scripts to ensure i'm using the right license(s) on the right machines, its a total mess.
I have more hatred for SAS than any other product we deploy currently, thier whole process is ass backwards and annoying. The installer uses Java, which is a freaking trip. You don't get new versions when they release bugfixes for issues you've reported, you have to request them, re download and re0install with the NEW license file(s)(again, seperate for each version, architecture, and "company"). New files, new license file, new subversion tied to it.
Then each license file must be requested in person, and each is a separate download of the SAME DAMNED FILES tied to each license. Then there's 9.2 9.3 and 9.4 DIFFERENT license files for each god damned architecture (x86 and 圆4). They think my employer is several companies, so we have several versions of the same license they wont consolidate. That piece of software takes MONTHS for me to deploy(properly).
