Installation and Configuration Steps
________________________________________________________

Installing the 64-Bit SAS Formats Library and Binary Files:

The Netezza 64-bit Libraries are installed via a self-extracting archive file which is downloaded from SAS.
File Name: accelnetzfmt-4.1-0_lax.sh
Version: 4.1-0

1. From the SAS Downloads area on support.sas.com, download the accelnetzfmt-4.1-0_lax.sh self-extracting archive file to your current directory.

2. Using a method of your choice, transfer the accelnetzfmt-4.1-0_lax.sh to a location on your Netezza server.

3. After the accelnetzfmt-4.1-0_lax.sh file has been transferred to the Netezza server,
       log on as the user who owns the Netezza appliance (usually the .nz. ID).

4. If you are upgrading a Netezza server that has a previous version of the SAS formats library and binary files installed,
       then you must remove some items before you install the new version. See Upgrading the SAS Formats Library and Binary Files.

5. Use the following commands at the UNIX prompt to unpack the self-extracting archive file:
      -  chmod +x path_to_sh_file/accelnetzfmt-4.1-0_lax.sh
      -  path_to_sh_file/accelnetzfmt-4.1-0_lax.sh
      -  chmod 755 -R /nz/extensions/SAS
In the above commands, path_to_sh_file is the location to which you copied the self-extracting archive file in Step 2.

6. The installation prints several messages to indicate its progress. The following message indicates that the installation is successful:
      SAS Netezza 4.1-0 64-bit Installation Complete.
   The Netezza 64-bit image files are extracted to the following location:
      /nz/extensions/SAS/SASFormatsLibraryForNetezza/4.1-0`

7. Use the following commands to create a 3.1 symbolic link to the location where the files have been extracted:
      - cd /nz/extensions/SAS/SASFormatsLibraryForNetezza
      - ln -s 4.1-0 3.1
