Select Java Runtime Environment
The SAS software you are preparing to install requires a Java Runtime
Environment. This page allows you to determine which Java Runtime
Environment you want to be associated with this deployment. Choose which of the
options you would like to perform.
- Install/use the recommended Java Runtime Environment (Windows and
UNIX
only)
- Select this option to install or use the required Java Runtime Environment
on this
machine. This is the preferred option because it ensures you will be using the
Java Runtime Environment that SAS recommends. When UNIX users select this
option, they should also enter the location where they want their Java
Runtime Environment to be extracted in the text field, either by hand or by
finding it using the Browse button.
- No Java Runtime Environment (z/OS only)
- The SAS Deployment Wizard can deploy your software on z/OS without a Java
Runtime Environment. If you do not already have a Java
Runtime Environment on your z/OS system or do not want to use an existing one as
part of your deployment, select this option. Note, however, that planned
deployments on z/OS machines require a JRE. If you are performing a planned
deployment on z/OS, you must choose Select an existing Java Runtime Environment.
- Select an existing Java Runtime Environment (all operating
systems)
- Select this option to use a Java Runtime Environment that you have already
installed. If you select this option, the text field becomes active and you can
enter the location of the Java Runtime Environment by hand or find it by using
the Browse button.
Note that clicking the View Information About Supported Java Runtime
Environment Versions link will take you to a Web page that describes the
Java Runtime Environments that SAS recommends by operating system. If that link
does not resolve for you, please go to http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/index.html for information about the
recommended Java Runtime Environments.
