Installation Overview PUBLIC 15
4 Installing Predictive Factory

4.1 Overview of Predictive Factory

Predictive Factory is a thin-client, Web server-based application that lets you create and automate the
management of predictive models created in SAP Predictive Analytics Modeler. Users can automate much of
the production lifecycle, such as retraining a model, applying a model to a new dataset, and detecting model
deviations.

Predictive Factory is installed as part of an SAP Predictive Analytics client-server configuration. Once your
Automated Analytics server is deployed, a Predictive Factory server can be installed and configured.

The diagram shows Predictive Factory in the SAP Predictive Analytics client-server landscape.

● The Predictive Factory server contains a group of services handled by the Server Intelligence Agent (SIA).
The services can be stopped and started with the Start and Stop Predictive Factory commands.
● Communication between the Predictive Factory server and clients uses HTTP. You can configure encrypted
communication (HTTPS) using Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) or Transport Layer Security (TLS).
● In Predictive Factory, you declare one or more modeling servers. (A modeling server is the machine that
hosts the Automated Analytics server that will run the modeling tasks). Predictive Factory communicates
with the Automated Analytics server using CORBA. All connections to data and model sources are handled
via the modeling server.
● Users create models using the SAP Predictive Analytics client connected to the same Automated Analytics
server.
● If you have set up an SAP HANA server in Predictive Factory, you can import Predictive Pipelines created
with Expert Analytics. To apply or run predictive pipelines, Predictive Factory connect directly to SAP HANA
using a JDBC communication.

● If you have set up a PAi Application in Predictive Factory, you can publish model versions to an external
application.

5 Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server
for Windows

5.1 SAP Predictive Analytics Enterprise Edition

The enterprise edition of SAP Predictive Analytics is a three-tier client-server architecture. Communication
between the Automated Analytics server and the data is identical to the desktop edition, using either ODBC or
the native file system. For each client connection, a new Automated Analytics instance process is started on
the server. Depending on the server configuration, the process can be started with a specific system account,
or with the user account. Communication between the clients and server can be encrypted using SSL or TLS.

This configuration offers the following benefits:

● Users are authenticated because clients must log in before being able to use the modeling server. User
accounts can be configured to implement security policy.
● User activity monitoring and logging is possible and activated by default.
● Database connectivity needs to be configured only once on the server. Operating system rights can be
used to check access to the different resources (for example, modeling data).

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 25
● Resources are used more fully because each modeling session has a dedicated process. The process size
limit applies only to a single user.
● Network administration is simplified because all network traffic from the client is directed to the server.
This means only two TCP ports need to be opened for an Automated Analytics installation.

5.1.1 Minimum Skills Required to Perform the Installation on

Windows

The installation of SAP Predictive Analytics server requires some minimum skills that are described in the
following list.

The installation of the server must be performed by someone with a system administrator profile who:

● has administration rights on the machine,

● has the rights to set up services on the machine,
● knows how to set up ODBC drivers on Windows systems.

Before setting up the server, the person performing the installation must contact the database administrator to
obtain all necessary information about the database the application will be connected to.

5.1.2 Server Sizing

Refer to the Product Availability Matrix https://support.sap.com/content/dam/launchpad/en_us/pam/pam-

essentials/PAM_Predictive_Analytics.pdf to know the size needed for using the application server in your
environment.

5.1.2.1 Data Access

Data access for Automated Analytics is either through the ODBC layer of a relational database, or directly
against files in a file system. The application allows direct access to several types of files formats: SAS, SPSS,
Excel, Minitab, delimited text, and fixed length text. For efficiency, the application does not create a separate
analytics data store but reads data from the existing data sources, and saves output and models back into the
data source.

When working in a client-server environment, all data are accessed by the server. The data source (ODBC, ...)
must be installed (drivers, ...) and configured on the server.

Note
To know how to install and configure the data source, refer to the Predictive Analytics Data Access guide,
section Connecting to your Database Management System on Linux or Windows.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

26 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
5.1.2.2 CPU Usage

The training of a single model consumes the resources of a single CPU for the duration of the training. Each
model being trained will spawn a separate thread, each being assigned to an available CPU. Training 2 models
simultaneously on the same CPU will approximately double the training time of each model. Therefore, 1 CPU
(500MHz or above) is recommended per concurrent user.

To know more about the recommended CPU, refer to the SAP Product Availability Matrix http://
service.sap.com/sap/support/pam .

5.1.2.3 Memory Consumption

A minimum of 512MB of RAM per concurrent user for the server is recommended. Additionally, each client
should have 128MB-256MB RAM to run the User Interface. In general, a model consumes about 100KB of RAM
per variable during training, or about 10MB per 100 variables. The application graphical user interface
consumes about 30MB of RAM.

By default the Data Cache is parameterized to use 500 MB RAM on a 64-bit architecture. The settings can be
changed in <INSTALLATION_DIR>/DataCacheManager.cfg.

5.1.2.4 Hard Disk Space

The server software requires about 700 MB for the server and about 200 MB for each client installed on
separate machines. No additional storage is required for data because the application does not create a
separate data store.

However, approximately 10MB to 100MB of disk space will be required per saved model, depending on the
model type and number of variables in the model. Note that Social models may require much more space. The
models are stored in database or on the file system either on the server or somewhere accessible from the
server. Be careful that users must be granted Write access to those spaces in order to be able to save their
work. As a best practice, modeling results are preferably saved as text files on a file system in the Development
phase, the database format is usually relevant only for Production models.

By default the Data Cache is parameterized to use 2 GB on the disk on a 64-bit architecture. The settings can
be changed in <INSTALLATION_DIR>/DataCacheManager.cfg.

To know more about the recommended Hard Disk space, refer to the SAP Product Availability Matrix http://
service.sap.com/sap/support/pam

5.1.3 Network Requirements

Each of the three components involved in the application, which are the name server, the SAP Predictive
Analytics server and the client application, can be located on a different machine. Note that in most installation
settings, both the name server and the SAP Predictive Analytics server are located on the same server.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 27
The communication protocol used under the CORBA framework is the TCP protocol. The first requirement is
that the:

● The SAP Predictive Analytics server must be able to access the name server.
● The client application must be able to access both the name server and the SAP Predictive Analytics
server.

From a network administration point of view it means that:

● The name server and the server will be assigned a specific TCP port. By default, the startup scripts we use
fix them, and they should probably set properly depending on the network strategy.
● Both of these ports must be accessible from the client machine. For example, network firewalls should
allow communication on these ports between client machine and the servers.

5.1.4 Java Runtime Environment for Client

You need to install Java Runtime Environment (JRE) with support for Java Web Start (JNLP Protocol), which is
available on the Java website. To know which version to install, refer to the SAP Product Availability Matrix
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/pam .

5.1.5 Java Web Start Deployment

In order to provide Java Web Start deployment of SAP Predictive Analytics Client applications, a Web Server
needs to be installed, configured and started on the machine where the Server is installed. Java Web Start has
been tested on the following server configurations:

● Windows IIS (Internet Information Service), on Microsoft Windows systems

● Apache Server (http://www.apache.org ). For more information on how to install a Apache server, refer
to the Apache documentation (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/current/en/install.html ).

5.2 Server Installation

Caution
For upgrade information when a previous version of the server or an SAP InfiniteInsight server is already
installed, please refer to the Predictive Analytics Administrator Guide, section Operations Guide provided on
the SAP Help Portal (SAP Help Portal).

Caution
As the Windows installer for server creates a Service and a User group, it must be run with an Administrator
user account .

30 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
5.3 Performing a Silent Installation

You can use the SAP Predictive Analytics server self-extractor to create a response file required for a silent
installation. Using a silent installation, system administrators can run a script from the command line to
automatically install SAP Predictive Analytics server on any machine in their system without the setup program
prompting them for information or displaying the progress bar. The silent installation is primarily geared
towards users with network administration roles. A silent installation is particularly useful when you need to
push multiple installations in your corporate network. Once you have created a silent installation response file,
you can add the silent installation command to your installation scripts.

1. Choose Start Run and type cmd to open a Command Prompt window.

% <filename.exe> /SAVEINF=C:\Tmp\SilentInstall.inf

Note
<filename.exe> represents the name of the .exe file.

The SAP Predictive Analytics server Setup program opens.

2. Follow the installation wizard to select your setup options.
3. On the Start installation page, choose Next.
The setup program writes your installation options to the SilentInstall.inf file, and closes.
4. To run the silent installation, open a Command Prompt window and enter the following command:

% <filename.exe> /SILENT /LOADINF= C:\Tmp\SilentInstall.inf

To prevent any pop-up window to be displayed during installation, replace /SILENT by /VERYSILENT in
the command above.

5.4 Checking Installation

Once the installation is done, you can run the script KxCheckConfig.bat located in the installation directory.
This script is used to communicate with the Support team in case of issues.

Double-click the file KxCheckConfig.bat. It automatically generates a KxCheckConfig.log text file that
contains the full description of the machine and a snapshot of configuration and log files from the installation
directory.

5.5 Configuration

If you need to modify the configuration of the Authenticated Server, you will need to modify the following
options. The following table summarizes the location of parameters in a distribution:

Description File Location

TCP ports (and eventually IP address) to be used by the ${INSTALLATION DIR}\EXE\Servers

Server, and SSL Activation switch \AuthServer\KxServiceManager.ini

Name of Log configuration file, Authentication mode and ${INSTALLATION DIR}\EXE\Servers

other Authentication parameters \AuthServer\KxAuth.cfg

List of users if File Authentication is selected ${INSTALLATION DIR}\EXE\Servers

\AuthServer\users

Mapping between authenticated users and physical users if Not available

specified in the KxAuth.cfg

Default configuration file used for Automated Analytics in ${INSTALLATION DIR}\EXE\Servers\CORBA
stances.
\KxCORBA.cfg

See the related topic for a description of the available op

tions for each instance.

Note
After modifying the configuration, you will need to restart the server.

5.5.1 Basic Configuration

The basic server configuration option can be found in the file KxAuth.cfg located in the folder $
{INSTALLATION DIR}\EXE\Servers\AuthServer\.

############# AuthServer configuration

AuthServer.TimeOut=4000
AuthServer.MaxConnections=50
AuthServer.ExeName=KxCORBA3
AuthServer.ExeStartDirectory=../CORBA
AuthServer.DomainName=KXEN01
AuthServer.Admin=root
AuthServer.Admin=admin

The available options are detailed in the following table.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

32 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
Option Default Value Description

AuthServer.TimeOut 4000 Internal timeout parameter used when

starting internal sever instance. If the
started instance (after user authentica
tion) can not be reached after this
specified number of milliseconds, then
a time-out occurs and the connection
fails. In most cases it is due to a bad
configuration or installation of the in
stance.

AuthServer.MaxConnections 50 Maximum number of concurrent con

nections on the server.

This can be used to hard-limit the num

ber of Instance processes launched at
any time.

AuthServer.ExeName KxCORBA3 Name of the server instance executable

file. It should not be changed.

AuthServer.ExeStartDirecto ../CORBA Name and path of the instance execu

ry tion directory. It should not be changed.

AuthServer.InstanceConfigF KxCORBA.cfg Can be used to specify a different con

ile figuration file for server instances

%u it will be replaced by the authenti
cated user name starting the instance,
so that each user can have a separate
configuration. It can be used to specify
different Data Sources (FileStoreRoot)
or different License for each user.

AuthServer.InstanceConfigP . Specify the path to be searched for

ath configuration file. By default the config
uration file are located in the same di
rectory that the KxCORBA3 executable,
but this allows you to give a specific di
rectory for all configuration files.

AuthServer.DomainName KXEN01 Name of the Windows domain to be

used for Windows Authentication.

AuthServer.Admin root Logging name(s) of the server adminis

trators. Server administrators can see

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 33
5.5.2 Configuration of Server Instances
The configuration of an instance, which consists of a CORBA process, requires to set:

● the proper TCP port,

● and the proper configuration for the server itself.

The server instance can be configured using the configuration file called KxCORBA.cfg, located in the folder
<installation_folder>\EXE\Servers\CORBA\. This file is loaded at start-up, and includes several Key/
Values properties. The first line should not be edited, blank lines are accepted, and each valid line should
include: one of the accepted keyword, the equal sign and the associated value.

The main usual configuration step is the definition of the FileStoreRoot to be used on the local system. It is
generally a good idea to set up entries for common data storage (for example, c:/data) and also a specific
entry to store built models (for example, c:/Models).

The following table describes the available properties.

Option Description

KxAdmin The root name of the file or table used to store the models in
a directory or ODBC store. This file is automatically gener
ated when "commit" or "save" operations are performed on
Predictive Analytics models. It is used to quickly retrieve the
list of available models in a store. By default it is KxAdmin
so that it will creates KxAdmin.txt file or KxAdmin ta
bles.

MessageFile Such a message file allows for a quick and easy localization
of applications. New message files can be added for new lan
guage. The convention used for such message file name is:
<Name>_<language>.umsg, where language is an ISO
code of a language (for example, fr for French, us for English
American, uk for English).

MessageDirectory This option allows you to load all message files from a single
directory. All .umsg file found in that directory will be loaded
as message.

FileStoreRoot Such entries are used by the server to retrieve the main file
store to be displayed when client applications ask for top-
level file directory.

Config Load another configuration file. This is used to load the Li
cense file, or to load some Data Access library, but could be
used also to base different configuration files (one for each
user) on some common settings.

LogConf This option gives the name of the log system configuration
file to be used. For a description of the logging configuration
file itself, refer to the SAP Predictive Analytics Operation
Guide, section Predictive Analytics Logging System.

Example
To display two directories in the file selection drop down, add the following lines:

FileStoreRoot=c:/data

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

34 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
FileStoreRoot=c:/Models

5.5.3 Port Configuration

The SAP Predictive Analytics default installation uses two TCP ports for Client/Server communication.

By default the Name Server is set on port 12345 and the SAP Predictive Analytics server is set on port 12347.

If these TCP ports cannot be used (for network policies reasons or because they are already used), then they
must be changed. To change the TCP ports when installing the application, you will need to:

1. stop both services,

2. update the configuration files,
3. clean the log files up,
4. start again both services.

Caution
If the deployment of the client is managed by Web Start, refer to the Web Start documentation to update it.

5.5.3.1 Stopping the Services

5.5.4 Communication Channel Encryption

Caution
Connection through Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is not activated by
default when you install SAP Predictive Analytics Server. You have to enable it explicitly.

To enable the encryption through TLS or SSL, you’ll need the following elements:

● A Certification Authority certificate (CA certificate)

● The server private key
● The server certificate
● The server pass phrase (optional)

Note
If your company can’t provide you with these elements, you can generate self-signed certificates with
OpenSSL . Note that for security reasons, it is recommended to use certificates issued by a certificate
authority.

5.5.4.1 Enabling the Encryption for Automated Analytics

Server

To deploy the certificates on the Automated Analytics server, you’ll need to combine the private key and the
server certificate into a single file with the .cer extension.

1. Edit the KxServiceManager.ini file located in the installation folder of the Automated Analytics server.
For example, <InstallationFolder>\Server\Servers\AuthServer.
2. Locate the line: CommandLine = E:\apps\PredictiveAnalytics\Server\EXE\Servers
\AuthServer\KxAuthServer.exe [...].
3. Add the following options at the end of the command line: -cacert %CACertificate% -servercert
%ServerCertificate% -password %PassPhrase%.
4. Replace the placeholders by the following values:

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

%CACertificate% Name of the file containing the CA certificate

%ServerCertificate% Name of the file combining the private key and the server certificate
%PassPhrase% The server private key pass phrase. Only use this option if you have set up a passphrase
for the server.

5. Replace tcp by ssl in the following options:

○ -ORBendPointNoPublish giop:tcp:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>
○ -ORBendPointPublish giop:tcp:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>

You should then have:

○ -ORBendPointNoPublish giop:ssl:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>
○ -ORBendPointPublish giop:ssl:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>
6. Save the file.
7. Restart the Windows service named SAP Predictive Analytics - Automated Analytics Server

5.5.5 Authenticated Server Based on the System

This is the recommended setting. When you have selected this type of authentication during the installation,
the configuration files are automatically updated according to the information provided.

On Windows systems, the System Authentication is based on the Windows Domain Login services. To configure
the Authenticated Server to use Windows authentication, the Authenticator Name has to be System and the
Domain key must be properly configured. For example here is a configuration file that authenticates users on
Windows domain MYDOM01:

AuthServer.DomainName=MYDOM01
############## Authenticator configuration
Authenticator.Name=System
#Authenticator.System.PamServiceName=login

5.5.5.1 Adding Windows Users to the User Group

In order to allow users to use the SAP Predictive Analytics Server, they must be added to the users group
KxenUsers created during the installation process.

1. Right-click My Computer.
A contextual menu is displayed.
2. Select the Manage option.
The window Computer Management opens.

Note
On Windows Server 2016, when you select the Manage option, the window Server Manager opens.

7. Click OK.

5.5.6 Authenticated Server Based on a Fixed Encrypted

Password List

An authenticated server based on a fixed encrypted password list works on same principle than a standard file
based one except that it supports two types of passwords, which are encrypted and non-encrypted. In the
password store, the encrypted passwords are preceded by a star (*).

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 39
Sample Code
The following example shows a fixed encrypted password list containing both encrypted and non-encrypted
passwords:

Key=Value
admin=admin
user1=user1
user2=user2
port=*901555fb06e346cb065ceb9808dcfc25

To implement this type of authentication, a password store such as a 'users' password file with passwords
stored in clear must be used exactly as in the standard filebased authentication. At this point, it works exactly
as an authenticated server based on a fixed file password list. Differences come when a user changes their
password, which is then automatically stored as an encrypted one.

It can be used with an existing 'users' password file used on a server based on the 'File' authentication.
Passwords are progressively encrypted when users change them using the Remote Control Panel.

1. Open the file KxAuth.cfg located in the folder <INSTALLATION DIR>/KxAuthServer.

2. In the section Authenticator configuration, check that the line Authenticator.Name=Encrypted
is not commented , that is, does not begin with a hash sign (# ):
3. You can customize the options listed in the following table.

Options for the Authentication Based on an Encrypted Password List

Option Description Default Value

Authenticator.Encrypted.F Sets the name of the store containing users

ileName the user logins and passwords

Authenticator.Encrypted.S Indicates how are stored the user log KXEN.FileStore

toreType ins and passwords, for example in a
flat file, in a database, in a SAS file This value means that the data is
stored in a flat file.

Authenticator.Encrypted.S Sets the path where the user data is . (dot)

toreName stored
This value means that the data is
stored in the same folder as the
KxAuth.cfg file.

The following lines show the settings to use in the KxAuth.cfg file to set up an encrypted authentication.

#Authenticator.Name=File
#Authenticator.File.FileName=users
#Authenticator.File.StoreType=KXEN.FileStore
#Authenticator.File.StoreName=.
#Authenticator.File.User=
#Authenticator.File.Password=
Authenticator.Name=Encrypted
Authenticator.Encrypted.FileName=users
Authenticator.Encrypted.StoreType=KXEN.FileStore

#Authenticator.Encrypted.User=
#Authenticator.Encrypted.Password=

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

40 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
#Authenticator.Name=System
#Authenticator.System.PamServiceName=login

5.5.7 Authenticated Server Based on a Fixed Password List

When you have selected this type of authentication during installation, the authentication is based on a fixed
file named users, which contains the login and password of each user and is located in the folder
<INSTALLATION DIR>\EXE\Servers\AuthServer\users.

To activate and customize this option, follow the following instructions:

1. Open the file KxAuth.cfg located in the same folder as the users file.
2. Uncomment the line Authenticator.Name=File by removing the hash sign (#) at the beginning of the
line.
3. You can then customize the following options:

Option Description

Authenticator.File.FileName This option allows you to set the name of the store containing the users'
logins and passwords. By default, the store name is users .

Authenticator.File.StoreType This option allows you to indicate how are stored the user logins and pass
words, for example in a flat file, in a database, in a SAS file. The default
value is KXEN.FileStore, which means that the data is stored in a flat
file.

Authenticator.File.StoreName This option allows you to set the path where the user data is stored. The
default value is a dot (.), which means that the data is stored in the same
folder as the KxAuth.cfg file.

The following lines show the settings to use in the KxAuth.cfg file to set up a fixed password list
authentication.

############## Authenticator configuration

#Authenticator.Name=Void
Authenticator.Name=File
Authenticator.File.FileName=users
Authenticator.File.StoreType=KXEN.FileStore
Authenticator.File.StoreName=.
Authenticator.File.User=
Authenticator.File.Password=
#Authenticator.Name=System
#Authenticator.System.PamServiceName=login

5.5.8 No Authentication

Another authentication scheme called "Void" is available, but it should only be used with care, generally for
technical integration with other system. This "Void" authenticator accept any combination of user and
password as a valid one, it does not perform any actual identity check.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 41
This authentication scheme can be used when the connections of the authenticated server are only created by
another software components, such as web server, or another application where identity is already managed.
The other software components might want to create connection as some user, but do not want or need to do
an actual authentication.

The goal of specifying a user in a void authentication connection is to be able to trace the work and process on
a per-user basis since most logs and trace information reference the connected user.

Note
Although it is possible to enter an empty user/password in such a case, it is not a recommended practice for
traceability and efficiency purpose: all logs will be mixed in the same file, without any distinction.

If this kind of authentication is used, the software integrator or application developer should ensure that the
server cannot be physically accessed another way by using proper firewalls, network configuration, …, as
allowing a connection from another route will prevent data security.

Also in such a configuration, it is strongly recommended to not start the server as administrator or super user,
as no impersonification will be done after authentication. The identity of the instance started will be the one
used to start the server process itself.

5.6 Managing the Server on Windows

All users that will be allowed to connect to SAP Predictive Analytics should have the right to “Logon as Service”.
To simplify this procedure, the default installation procedure creates a Windows Group of users “KxenUsers”,
with the appropriate rights. Each user granted to connect to SAP Predictive Analytics should be added to this
group (using Windows administration tools).

Also, the users should be allowed to write log files to the temporary directory. The server instances started will
typically write their log files in a temporary directory, which depends on some user environment variables (its
uses the first defined among: TMP, TEMP, or USERPROFILE environment variable, or by default the Windows
temporary directory).

There are two ways to manage the server on a Windows platform:

● By using Windows Services, if the server has been registered as a Windows service,
● By launching a bat file (for debugging purpose).

Related Information

Launching a .bat File [page 43]

Using Windows Services [page 43]

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

42 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
5.6.1 Launching a .bat File

For debugging or testing purpose, the runserver.bat file is also available in the folder <INSTALLATION
DIR>\EXE\Servers\AuthServer and allows you to manually start the server without using SSL.

5.6.2 Using Windows Services

If the server has been registered as a Windows service during the installation, use Windows Services to start.

1. Open the Windows Services administration panel.

2. In the Services panel, the two services created by SAP Predictive Analytics are:
○ Automated analytics server
○ Automated analytics directory
3. Right-click the server name.
A contextual menu is displayed offering several actions.
4. Use the contextual menu to start, pause, stop or restart the server, depending on its current status.

Note
When the server is registered as a Windows Service, it will be run under the “Local System” user name.
By default, this user has the correct security policy to start the server instance as another
user(Windows security policy “Replace a process level token”). However, if you need to change the
name of the user who has started this service, the correct security policy “Replace a process level
token” must be set for this user. For more information about process level token refer to the Automated
Analytics Server Installation Guide for Windows.

5.7 Deploying the Client

SAP Predictive Analytics client applications are Java graphical user interface that connect to SAP Predictive
Analytics servers. The client application can be installed:

● Through Java Web Start: in this mode, a Web server needs to be installed and configured on the machine
hosting the SAP Predictive Analytics server. It will deliver, through web pages, the necessary content in
order for the client computer to run the application.
● With standalone installers on each targeted client system.

We recommend using the Web Start facility, as it will allow automatic client version migration in case of a server
upgrade.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 43
Using Java Web Start

Java Web Start is an application launcher for the client application. It allows you to start the client from a web
site.

The updates are automatically managed through the Java Web Start system. This system avoids having to
manually install the client on every computer of the local network. As an extra, if the client is updated on the
server, all the distributed applications will automatically be updated too.

The installation and configuration of Java Web Start is described in the section Installing Java Web Start .

Manually Install Clients for SAP Predictive Analytics Server

For information on the installation and configuration of an SAP Predictive Analytics client, read the section
Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Client.

5.8 Starting the Administration Console

The Remote Control Panel is a component that allows the server administrator to manage the users activity
on the server by:

● Listing the active connections, with information such as user, last activity time stamp, number of current
models
● Listing the state of models being within each connection
● Ending an existing connection. This should be used with care, for example in order to free the associated
process when some pending connection remains active while a client crashed.

To start the Remote Control Panel, follow the instructions below:

In the Start menu, select All Programs SAP Business Intelligence SAP Predictive Analytics Server
Remote Control Panel .

5.9 Logging

Automated Analytics offers a logging system which is activated by default and can be deactivated if needed.
The goal of this logging system is for an administrator or a support team to be able to trace and analyze the
application activity on within the kernel. Note that the activity of the client user interfaces is only seen through
events fired within the kernel.

It can be deactivated within a server, or in the Shell utility.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

44 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows
The default Log Files for the server are:

● kxen_auth_log.txt: the default activity trace for the server, which can be used mainly for debugging
purpose
● kxenusagelog.txt: the goal of this log file is to have a simpler monitoring of overall modeling server
activity. This log will include one line for the following events: user connection, user disconnection, training
a model, applying a model, saving a model.

These files are located in the server user temporary directory (usually "C:\Documents and Settings\user
\Local Settings\Temp" or “C:\WINDOWS\Temp” when the SAP Predictive Analytics server is started as a
Service)

The logging system is described in detail in the Operations Guide.

5.10 Troubleshooting

This topic lists all troubleshooting in case a problem occurs during the configuration of Automated Analytics
Server.

Admin Console

If Java Runtime Environment is not available for you platform, you have to use a Windows client to start the
Admin Console.To know which Java version to install, refer to the SAP Product Availability Matrix http://
service.sap.com/sap/support/pam .

Java Web Start

If parameters have been modified, the users (or admin) will need to clean the cache to insure a correct running.

5.11 Setting User Security for Windows

In order to be able to create processes as other user, the user account used to run Automated Analytics Server
process must have the privilege “Replace a process Level Token”.

This procedure should be used in case of a specific configuration or startup of Automated Analytics Server,
since the default installer start it as a Windows Service using the account Local System, which already owns
this right.

To set this privilege, follow the instructions below:

1. Go to the Control Panel.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Windows PUBLIC 45
2. In the panel Administrative Tools, open the Local Security Policy.
3. In the panel Local Security Settings, select the option Local Policies > User Right Assignment.
4. In the right panel, check that the account used to run the application is listed for the policy Replace a
process level token.

5. If the account is not listed, it can be added by double clicking the policy and adding the proper user.
6. To commit this modification then logoff/logon.

for Linux

6.1 SAP Predictive Analytics Server

6.1.1 SAP Predictive Analytics Enterprise Edition

This configuration offers the following benefits:

● Users are authenticated because clients must log in before being able to use the modeling server. User
accounts can be configured to implement security policy.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux PUBLIC 47
● User activity monitoring and logging is possible and activated by default.
● Database connectivity needs to be configured only once on the server. Operating system rights can be
used to check access to the different resources (for example, modeling data).
● Resources are used more fully because each modeling session has a dedicated process. The process size
limit applies only to a single user.
● Network administration is simplified because all network traffic from the client is directed to the server.
This means only two TCP ports need to be opened for an Automated Analytics installation.

6.1.2 Requirements

6.1.2.1 Minimum Skills Required to Perform the

Installation

The installation of Automated Analytics server requires some minimum skills that are described in the following
list.

The installation of Automated Analytics server must be performed by someone with a system administrator
profile who:

● has administration rights on the machine,
● has the rights to set up services on the machine,
● knows how to set up ODBC drivers on Linux systems.

6.1.2.2 User Accounts Requirements

Before installing the server, you must create:

● a kxenusers group
● a kxenadmin user, belonging to the kxenusers group.

Note
Any users that will access to the server need to be added to this group.

6.1.2.3 Server Sizing

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux PUBLIC 49
models are stored in database or on the file system either on the server or somewhere accessible from the
server. Be careful that users must be granted Write access to those spaces in order to be able to save their
work. As a best practice, modeling results are preferably saved as text files on a file system in the Development
phase, the database format is usually relevant only for Production models.

By default the Data Cache is parameterized to use 2 GB on the disk on a 64-bit architecture. The settings can
be changed in <INSTALLATION_DIR>/DataCacheManager.cfg.

To know more about the recommended Hard Disk space, refer to the SAP Product Availability Matrix http://

Available options for basic configuration

Option Default Value Description

AuthServer.TimeOut 4000 Internal time-out parameter used when starting internal instance.
If the instance started after user authentication cannot be reached
after this specified number of milliseconds, then a time-out occurs
and the connection fails. In most cases it is due to a bad configura
tion or installation of the instance.

AuthServer.MaxConnections 50 Maximum number of concurrent connections on the server.

This can be used to hard-limit the number of Instance processes

launched at any time.

AuthServer.ExeName KxCORBA3 Name of the Instance executable file. It should not be changed.

AuthServer.ExeStartDirectory ../CORBA Name and path of the Instance execution directory. It should not
be changed.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Option Default Value Description

AuthServer.InstanceConfigFile KxCORBA.cfg Can be used to specify a different configuration file for instances
started by Authenticated Server. It can be used for example in a
context where the server is used both as Authenticated and as a
regular server. More over if the name contains the string '%u' it will
be replaced by the authenticated user name starting the instance,
so that each user can have a separate configuration. It can be used
to specify different Data Sources (FileStoreRoot) or different Li
cense for each user.

AuthServer.InstanceConfigPath . Specify the path to be searched for configuration file. By default

the configuration file are located in the same directory that the
KxCORBA3 executable, but this allow to give a specific directory
for all configuration files.

AuthServer.UserMappingFile (none) Name of a text file which describe the user mapping. See User
Name Mapping in the related information below.

AuthServer.DomainName KXEN01 Name of the Windows domain to be used for Windows authentica
tion. See Authenticated Server based on the System in the related
information below.

AuthServer.Admin root Logging name(s) of the server administrators. Server administra

tors can see and disconnect all the user connections in the Admin

istration Console.

6.1.4.3 Configuration of SAP Predictive Analytics Server

Instances

The configuration of a server instance, which consists of a CORBA process, requires to set:

● the proper TCP port,

● and the proper configuration for the server itself.

The server instance can be configured using the configuration file called KxCORBA.cfg, located in the folder
<installation_folder>/KxenServer/. This file is loaded at start-up, and includes several Key/Values
properties. The first line should not be edited, blank lines are accepted, and each valid line should include: one
of the accepted keyword, the equal sign and the associated value.

The main usual configuration step is the definition of the FileStoreRoot to be used on the local system. It is
generally a good idea to set up entries for common data storage such as /tmp/data/ and also a specific entry
to store built models for example, /tmp/models/).

Available properties for server instances configuration

Option Description

KxAdmin The root name of the file or table used to store the models in a directory or ODBC store. This file is
automatically generated when "commit" or "save" operations are performed on Automated
Analytics models. It is used to quickly retrieve the list of available models in a store. By default it is
KxAdmin so that it will creates KxAdmin.txt file or KxAdmin tables.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

56 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux
Option Description

MessageFile Such a message file allows for a quick and easy localization of applications. New message files can
be added for new language. The convention used for such message file name is:
<Name>_<language>.umsg, where language is an ISO code of a language. For example, fr for
French, en for English, de for German.

MessageDirectory This option allows you to load all message files from a single directory. All .umsg file found in that
directory will be loaded as message.

FileStoreRoot Such entries are used by the server to retrieve the main file store to be displayed when client appli
cations ask for top-level file directory.

Config Load another configuration file. This is used to load the license file, or to load some data access
library, but could be used also to base different configuration files on some common settings, for
example one for each user.

LogConf This option gives the name of the log system configuration file to be used. See the related informa
tion section below for a description of the logging configuration file itself.

Example
To display two directories in the file selection drop down, add the following lines:

FileStoreRoot=/tmp/data/
FileStoreRoot=/tmp/models/

6.1.4.4 TCP Port and Address Configuration

1. Edit the file KxenCorbaConfig.sh located in the folder /softs/AutomatedAnalytics_<OsName>/.

2. Modify the value of the option NS_PORT. The default value is 12345.

8 # Port used by the CORBA Name Server

9 # This one must also be set on the client's GUI startup scripts.
10 #
11 NS_PORT=12345
12 export NS_PORT

3. Modify the value of the option KXEN_PORT. The default value is 12346.

16 # Port used by the server itself

17 #
18 KXEN_PORT=12346
19 export KXEN_PORT

4. Modify the value of the option KXEN_AUTH_PORT. The default value is 12347.

23 # Port used by the authenticated server

6.1.4.5 Communication Channel Encryption

Caution
Connection through Transport Layer Security (TLS) or Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) is not activated by
default when you install SAP Predictive Analytics Server. You have to enable it explicitly.

To enable the encryption through TLS or SSL, you’ll need the following elements:

● A Certification Authority certificate (CA certificate)

● The server private key
● The server certificate
● The server pass phrase (optional)

6.1.4.5.1 Enabling the Encryption for Automated Analytics

Server

To deploy the certificates on the Automated Analytics server, you’ll need to combine the private key and the
server certificate into a single file with the .cer extension.

1. Edit the KxAuthServer.sh file located in <installation folder>/KxAuthServer.

2. Locate the line: exec KxAuthServer [...].
3. Add the following options at the end of the command line: -cacert %CACertificate% -servercert
%ServerCertificate% -password %PassPhrase%.
4. Replace the placeholders by the following values:

5. Replace tcp by ssl in the following options:

○ -ORBendPointNoPublish giop:tcp:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>
○ -ORBendPointPublish giop:tcp:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>

You should then have:

○ -ORBendPointNoPublish giop:ssl:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>
○ -ORBendPointPublish giop:ssl:<ADDRESS>:<PORT>
6. Save the file.

6.1.4.6 Authentication Types

6.1.4.6.1 Authenticated Server Based on the System

If you choose to use the PAM authentication then you should update /softs/
AutomatedAnalytics_<OsName>/KxAuthServer/KxAuth.cfg as follow and start the Automated
Analytics server under the root user account so that you can use the system password.

1. Comment the lines starting with Authenticator.File by adding # at the beginning of each line.
2. Uncomment the lines starting with Authenticator.Name by removing the # at the beginning of each line.

############## Authenticator configuration

#Authenticator.System.PamServiceName=login

6.1.4.6.1.1 About PamServiceName

The PamServiceName option refers to the name of the PAM Service used for authentication. This option, for
which the value is set to login is commented by default in the configuration file.

The PAM Service name has to be a valid entry defined in the system's PAM configuration file pam.conf located
in /etc/. This configuration file defines services by listing the modules to be applied for each service. Refer to
the PAM documentation for more details.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux PUBLIC 59
It is possible to define a new PAM service for SAP Predictive Analytics. For example, if you want to implement a
specific authentication strategy to be able to add or remove an authentication module.

6.1.4.6.1.1.1 Defining a New PAM Service

1. Define the proper lines in the /etc/pam.conf file, starting by kxenlogin.

2. Edit the KxAuthServer/KxAuth.cfg file.
3. Uncomment the line starting with Authenticator.System.PamServiceName.
4. Set the value to kxenlogin.

6.1.4.6.2 Authenticated Server Based on a Fixed Password

List

By default, the authentication is based on a fixed file named users, which contains the login and password of
each user and is located in the folder /softs/AutomatedAnalytics_<OsName>/KxAuthServer/users.

6.1.4.6.2.1 Activating and/or Customizing this Option

1. Open the file KxAuth.cfg located in the same folder as the users file.
2. In the section Authenticator configuration , check that the line Authenticator.Name=File is not
commented, that is, does not begin with a hash sign (# ).
3. You can customize the options listed in the table below.

Options for the Authentication Based on a Fixed Password List

Option Description

Authenticator.File.FileName Sets the name of the store containing the users' logins and passwords. By
default, the store name is users .

Authenticator.File.StoreType Indicates how the users' logins and passwords are stored, for example in a
flat file, in a database, in a SAS file. The default value is
KXEN.FileStore, which means that the data are stored in a flat file.

Authenticator.File.StoreName Sets the path where the users' data are stored. The default value is a dot
(. ), which means that the data are stored in the same folder as the
KxAuth.cfg file.

Sample Code

The following lines show the settings to use in the KxAuth.cfg file to set up an encrypted authentication.

6.1.4.6.4 No Authentication

This authentication scheme can be used when the connections of the authenticated server are only created by
another software components, such as web server, or another application where identity is already managed.
The other software components might want to create connection as some user, but do not want or need to do
an actual authentication.

The goal of specifying a user in a void authentication connection is to be able to trace the work and process on
a per-user basis since most logs and trace information reference the connected user.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

62 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux
Also in such a configuration, it is strongly recommended to not start the server as administrator or super user,
as no impersonification will be done after authentication. The identity of the instance started will be the one
used to start the server process itself.

6.1.4.7 User Mapping

Once a user is authenticated through the authentication module, the server will start a new instance for that
user connection. The system account used for this new instance can be:

● The same system account as the one used to start the server. This occurs with “void” authenticator for
example.
● The system account of the authenticated user, this is the default with the system authentication.
● A different system account, as specified in a “User-Mapping” file. This file will specify, for each
authenticated user name the name of a system account to be used. This feature is available only on Linux.

The mapping file contains the name of the logical authenticated user and the name of the actual user account
to be used separated by an equal sign.

Example
For example, here is a sample file which maps 5 users on 2 different accounts:

Key=Value
user1=kxuser1
user2=kxuser1
user3=kxuser1
user4=kxuser2
user5=kxuser2

If a user is not present in this mapping file, then by default it will be denied, unless a specific entry is present
in this mapping file:

*=kxusern

This indicates that “all other users” will be mapped to physical user “kxusern ”.

To be used by authenticated server, the mapping file need to be declared in the configuration file
(KxAuth.cfg). Uncomment the UserMappingFile entry, and specify the correct filename.

Example

…
AuthServer.UserMappingFileName=mymapping.txt
…

User mapping can be used to simplify user account management, or to implement specific authorization
policies.

Other special rules for user mapping allow creating specific mapping policies.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux PUBLIC 63
To map specific users as themselves:

Key=Value
user1=*

The authenticated server will start a CORBA process as user1 when user1 authenticates himself. To map all the
other users as themselves, use the following syntax.

Key=Value
user1=kxuser1
user5=kxuser2
*=*

Any other users than user1 and user5 will be mapped as themselves.

6.1.4.8 User Environment Setup

The SAP Predictive Analytics server allows multiple users to run server processes via impersonation.

These users can have different needs in the global configuration of their work environment under Linux
Operating Systems.

One example is the need to access different databases such as Teradata and Oracle. The access to specific
databases is set up in the user environment in variables like ODBCINI and the shared library path.

The idea is to allow the set-up of the execution environment of SAP Predictive Analytics.

Note
This setup is not automatically done by the assisted configuration script.

6.1.4.8.1 Options Allowing Set-up Configuration

The following options can be set up in the configuration file KxAuth.cfg

Option Description Default Value

AuthServer.ShellStarter the full path to the shell to use to launch the /bin/sh
KxLauncher_start.sh for all the users.

AuthServer.StartAsLoginShel starts the shell as a login shell. A login shell will load the false
l user's environment as if the user logs in with rlogin.

AuthServer.ShellOption the option to pass to the shell if needed. For example, on empty
some operating systems bash needs to be launched as an
interactive shell with the option -i in order to source its
configuration scripts.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

64 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux
So for example if the AuthServer.ShellStarter option above is /bin/bash and the
AuthServer.ShellOption is -i, the process run will be equivalent to launch, for each user:

/bin/bash -i KxLauncher_start.sh

6.1.4.8.2 Guidelines

The guidelines listed below must be followed when defining variables:

● Any redefinition of the shared library path and the <$PATH> variable must take into account the previous
values of this variables:

LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/unixODBC_v2.4/libs:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH

● When the .kxen_profile is sourced, the current directory for the shell is the server directory.
● The environment variable definition is using the POSIX standard shell sh semantic, which first defines the
variable, then exports it. To guarantee a proper functioning, you should use the following syntax to define
your variables:

Code Syntax

MyVariable=ok
export MyVariable

● Use the <$HOME> variable rather than the tilde character ( ~ ) to refer to the Home directory:

ODBCINI=$HOME/MyOdbcini.ini

● Export ODBCINI

6.1.4.8.3 Troubleshooting

If the server does not start for a user, follow the procedure described below:

1. Log on the machine as the user.

2. Make sure the user is in the KXEN group by executing the command: groups
3. Go to $KXINSTDIR/KxenServer.
4. Execute the command: /bin/sh KxLauncher.sh KxCORBA3 -NoRegister
The error should be displayed in the standard output.

6.1.5 Reloading the Configuration

You can reload part of the configuration of the server without restarting it.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux PUBLIC 65
Execute the following command: /softs/AutomatedAnalytics_<OsName>/kxen.server
reload_configuration
This will reload only the options of the server such as identification, maximum connection, timeout, but will not
reload the other options like the log files.

Note
Sending the signal SIGUSR1 to the KxAuthServer process will have the same result.

6.1.6 Managing the Server on Linux

The system account used to start the autenticated server should have sufficient rights to perform
authentication and impersonation, that is, start the server instance as another user. In particular, it means that
most of the time it should be started with the root user account if:

● System authentication is to be used through Pluggable Authentication Module (PAM). Access to Linux
System account password required root privileges.
● Server instances are going to be started with a different system account than the authenticated server.

So the only case where a different user (who is not identified as root) can be used is when void or File/
Encrypted authentications are used, and all users are mapped to the same used as the one used to start the
processes.

Before starting Automated Analytics server, make sure that:

● The user account used to run the server can write in the tmp directory of the application installation. It is
the case if
○ the user who runs SAP Predictive Analytics is also the one used to install the software
○ if the user running SAP Predictive Analytics is root (which is ensure by the post installation
configuration script).
● Users that will be connecting to the server should have rights also to write their logs on the file system. By
default it is the tmp directory of the installation. Typically this could be done by following the steps listed
below:
1. Create a Linux group dedicated to Automated Analyticss users (for example kxenusrs).
2. Add the concerned Linux accounts to this group.
3. Set this group as the group owner of the tmp directory. This should be done if the application has been
set up with a user account that has this group set as its primary group.
4. Allow the group to write there. This is automatically done when using the post installation
configuration script.

chgrp kxenusrs tmp

chmod g+w tmp

Caution
The three procedures described below should be executed as root.

6.1.7 Deploying the Client

SAP Predictive Analytics client applications are Java graphical user interface that connect to SAP Predictive
Analytics servers. The client application can be installed:

We recommend using the Web Start facility, as it will allow automatic client version migration in case of a server
upgrade.

Using Java Web Start

Java Web Start is an application launcher for the client application. It allows you to start the client from a web
site.

The installation and configuration of Java Web Start is described in the section Installing Java Web Start .

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Manually Install Clients for SAP Predictive Analytics Server

For information on the installation and configuration of an SAP Predictive Analytics client, read the section
Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Client.

6.1.7.1 Using Java Web Start

Java Web Start is an application launcher for the client application. It allows you to start the client from a web
site.

The installation and configuration of Java Web Start is described in the section Installing Java Web Start.

6.1.7.2 Manually Install Clients for SAP Predictive

Analytics Server

SAP Predictive Analytics clients can also be manually installed.

1. Use the SAP Predictive Analytics installer to install a client.

Note
For more detailed information on the installation and configuration of a SAP Predictive Analytics client,
refer to the section Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Client.

2. To connect the client to the server, add the argument -authenticated on the command line.

6.2 Monitoring

6.2.1 Logging

It can be deactivated within a server, or in the Shell utility.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

68 PUBLIC Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux
The default log files for the server are:

● kxen_auth_log.txt: the default activity trace for the server, which can be used mainly for debugging
purpose
● kxenusagelog.txt: the goal of this log file is to have a simpler monitoring of the overall Automated
Analytics activity. This log will include one line for each of the following events: user connection, user
disconnection, training of a model, application of a model, saving of a model.

These files are located in the tmp directory of the SAP Predictive Analytics distribution.

For a detailed description of the logging system, see Operations Guide.

6.2.2 Starting the Administration Console

The administration console is a tool that allows the server administrator to follow the users' activity on the
server by:

● listing active connections, with information such as user, last activity time stamp, number of current
models,
● listing the state of models being within each connection,
● disconnecting an existing connection. This should be used with care, in case some pending connection
remains active while a client crashed for example, in order to free the associated process.

/softs/AutomatedAnalytics_<OsName>/KJWizardCORBA/KxControlPanel.sh serverhost where

serverhost is the name of the host running the name server.

6.3 Troubleshooting

6.3.1 Displaying the Server Log File

Enter the command: cat nohup.out

The log displays the list of problems found when starting the servers.

6.3.2 Error: ./tmp/KxAuthServer_.pid is not running

When starting the server with the command ./kxen.server start, you may encounter this error. In that
case, follow the procedure described below to identify the problem.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Server for Linux PUBLIC 69
6.3.2.1 Missing openssl Library

If the log contains the following line:

KxAuthServer: error while loading shared libraries: libssl.so.0.9.8: cannot open

shared object file: …

This means that the required SSL library is not available on the system.

6.3.2.1.1 Correcting the Issue

1. Check that there is a SSL library installed on the system.

On a RedHat Enterprise 5, use the command:

rmp –qa | grep ssl

2. Display the list of the files installed by the openssl package and filter it to display only the required libraries.
On a RedHat Enterprise 5, enter the following commands:

rpm –ql openssl<installed_version> | grep libssl

rpm –ql openssl<installed_version> | grep libcryp

where <installed_version> is the version of the openssl package listed in the previous step.
3. Go to the installation directory.
4. Go to the libs folder.
5. Create the symbolic links using the name of the library indicated as missing.
If the library lib_ssl.so.1.0.0 is missing, enter the following commands:

ln –s <lib64 path>/libssl.so.<version number> libssl.so.1.0.0

ln –s <lib64 path>/libcrytpo.so.<version number> libcrypto.so.1.0.0

where <lib64 path> is the location of the lib64 folder provided by the commands at step 2.
6. Restart the servers using the commands:

./kxen.server stop
rm nohup.out
./kxen.server start

The servers should start. If they do not, check the log file again and contact your administrator or the
support.

7.4 Important Considerations for Using SAP HANA with

Expert Analytics

Important considerations and requirements for using Expert Analytics with the SAP HANA database.

Security requirements for publishing to SAP HANA

Before users can publish content to SAP HANA, they must be assigned specific privileges and roles. These
roles and privileges are also required for retrieving data from SAP HANA. Use the SAP HANA Studio application
to assign user roles and privileges. For information on administrating the SAP HANA database and using SAP
HANA Studio see SAP HANA Database – Administration Guide. For information on user security see the SAP
HANA Security Guide (Including SAP HANA Database Security).

The user account used to log into the SAP HANA system from SAP Predictive Analytics must be assigned the
MODELING role (in SAP HANA).

Note
This action can only be performed by a user with ROLE_ADMIN privileges on the SAP HANA database.

When an SAP Predictive Analytics user logs into the SAP HANA system, the internal _SYS_REPO account must:

● Be granted the SELECT SQL Privileges.

● Have the Grantable to others option selected in the (SAP Predictive Analytics) user's schema.

in R studio: install.packages("PackName",lib="PATH")
For example: install.packages("recomandable",lib="C:/Users/Public/R-3.1.2/
library"). After the installation, check the subfolder in the R file path. You should see a folder called
recomandable.
● Alternatively, if you have R packages installed in multiple locations, make sure that the Microsoft
Windows® environment variable, R_LIBS, is pointing to each location. Add the folder locations to the
R_LIBS variable, separating each one by a semicolon so they can be found by Expert Analytics.
For example: R_LIBS=%R_HOME%\library;%YOUR_HOME_DIRECTORY%\Documents\R\win-
library\3.1

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Desktop PUBLIC 83
If the R_LIBS variable is not already available, you need to create this.

Note
You can use the .libPaths() function to display all locations where R packages are installed.

7.7.3 Important Considerations for Using Expert Analytics

with R Algorithms in SAP HANA Online Mode

SAP HANA supports in-database data mining through R integration and the Predictive Analysis Library (PAL),
as well as the Automated Predictive Library (APL) and Unified Demand Forecast (UDF). When using Expert
Analytics with R algorithms in the SAP HANA online mode, the following considerations are important:

● To use R algorithms in the SAP HANA database, you must install and configure R on SAP HANA. For
information on how to install and configure R on SAP HANA, see the SAP HANA R integration guide
available at http://help.sap.com/hana_platform.
● Ensure that the user privilege Create R script is granted.

type allows launching the application, whereas the Json mime type allows displaying the online help.

Edit the APACHE_HOME/conf/mime.types file.

○ To associate the application/jnlp-file with the jnlp extension, add the following line:

application/x-java-jnlp-file jnlp

○ To associate the application/json-file with the json extension, add the following line:

application/json-file json

Note
On Apache, this JNLP MIME type will be applied on all the web sites hosted on the server.

<argument>-checkcertificates</argument>

10.7 Firewall Settings

In order to ensure a good communication between the Client application and the Authenticated Server, the
firewall must be set to allow communication between the different software (HTTP Server, Name Server and
Authenticated Server).

Available firewalls in Linux environments are numerous. Please refer to the user guide of your installed firewall
to know how opening applicative ports.

Open these applicative ports:

● port 80 for HTTP

Installing Java Web Start for Linux PUBLIC 105
11 Running Multiple Instances of Java Web
Start

11.1 Overview

A standard SAP Predictive Analytics installation contains the following components:

● The client application

● The server application itself composed of:
○ The CORBA Name service (the default port is 12345)
○ The application authenticated server (the default port is 12347)
● The Java Web Start launcher, that requires a Web server to be operational (the default port is 80).

You can have several versions of the application server running simultaneously, for example:

● To test the latest version of the application without impacting the current production environment.
● To use a feature of version Y when it is not possible to change the current version X (thus to have both X
and Y running at the same time).

This guide provides the steps to configure the system in order to run several SAP Predictive Analytics servers
simultaneously.

For simplicity reasons, this documentation is based on a clear-cut example to clarify the different concepts and
steps.

It is, however, relatively simple to use as a basis for installing more than two versions of the application server.

11.1.1 General Multiple Installation Architecture

This demonstration scenario shows SAP Predictive Analytics version 2.0 and SAP InfiniteInsight version 6.1.0
running at the same time on a Linux server.

The Linux Server is running Apache HTTP Server.

The application Authenticated servers will be accessed through the application Java Web Start launcher.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

106 PUBLIC Running Multiple Instances of Java Web Start
The server architecture is the following:

Note
Please ensure the different services receive connections on different port numbers, in order to avoid
dysfunctions.

It is also necessary to have two web URLs setup for the application Web Start launchers, one for each
application version.

11.2 Installing SAP Predictive Analytics

This section provides guidance for the specific case of installing and configuring multiple versions of the
application.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

Running Multiple Instances of Java Web Start PUBLIC 107
For further details on how to install the application server, please refer to the section Installing Java Web Start.
It provides information on further aspects of the installation process that will not be repeated in this document.

11.2.1 Server Side

The installation process does not differ from a normal installation. Please refer to the section Installing Java
Web Start to guide you through the different steps.

On Microsoft Windows, you must choose between installing the application as a Windows service or as a
standard application:

● On a test environment, the software may be installed as a standard application.

● It is recommended to install the application as a Windows service on a production environment.

11.2.2 Client Side

There are two possibilities for the client machines:

● Install the client application in order to connect to the server. If you choose to install the client application,
please refer to the section Installing SAP Predictive Analytics Client.
● Use a Web browser to connect to the Java Web Start launcher deployed on the server.

Note
Using a web browser is the recommended mode if several users need to connect to the application server. It
allows simplifying the configuration and update processes (only the server needs to be configured).

11.3 Configuring the Application Server

This section describes the configuration steps to have two versions of the application server running
simultaneously. For each server, the configuration will cover the following elements:

● License files
● Connection ports
● Log files
● Java Web Start files

11.3.1 Managing Your Software License(s)

Ensure that the configuration files point to the right licenses. In case of problems using one of the servers,
check if the license configuration is correct.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

108 PUBLIC Running Multiple Instances of Java Web Start
11.3.2 Log Files Configuration

After configuring the Windows services and the application server port numbers, it is necessary to make sure
the different application servers will not write their outputs in the same log files. This would make them
particularly difficult to read.

The default file describing the log policy of the application servers is named logconf.txt.

11.3.2.1 Configuring the Log Files

The file logconf.txt is located in AuthServer. This file has the two following log file names declared.

Root.Directory $KXTEMPDIR
Root.Filename kxen_auth_log.txt
...
Usage.Directory $KXTEMPDIR
Usage.Filename kxenusagelog.txt

Authenticated servers use two different log entries:

● The Root entries are used for tracing the activity of the server which can later be used for debugging
purposes.
● The Usage entries are sparser and report a more global view of the activity on the server. They consist of
one line per event on the following events: user connection, user disconnection, training a model, applying
a model, saving a model.

For the demonstration scenario used in this documentation we chose to change the name of the files so that
the log files remain located in the same folder under different names.

So we get two logconfig.txt files, one for each software version/install, in the following directories:

● C:\Program Files\SAP InfiniteInsight\InfiniteInsightV <version>\EXE\Servers

\AuthServer
● C:\Program Files\SAP Predictive Analytics\Server <version>\EXE\Servers
\AuthServer

For clarity, rename the log files in the respective logconfig.txt files. In this example, the logconfig.txt
file for SAP InfiniteInsight v6.1.0 was edited to reflect the following changes:

Root.Filename kxen_610_auth_log.txt
...
Usage.Filename kxen_610_usagelog.txt

The logconfig.txt file for SAP Predictive Analytics was edited to reflect the following changes:

Root.Filename pa_20_auth_log.txt
...
Usage.Filename pa_20_usagelog.txt

2. For each installation, edit the line set NS_PORT=12345 to set a different (unique) number. For example:
set NS_PORT=12445. Note that it is possible to enter any free port number here.

Your different applications should use different CORBA Named Service port numbers. Our example uses the
following:

CORBA Name Service Port Settings

Installation CORBA Name Service Port

SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 set NS_PORT=12345

InfiniteInsight v6.1.0 set NS_PORT=12445

11.4.1.2 To Configure the Authenticated Server

When you run more than one version of the application, you must make sure that each installation uses a
unique authenticated server port.

1. For each installation, open the runserver.bat file (in the <application_server_folder>\Servers
\AuthServer folder).
2. For each installation, edit the line set KXEN_PORT=12347 to set a different (unique) number. For example:
set KXEN_PORT=12447. Note that it is possible to enter any free port number here.
3. Edit the line set NS_PORT=12345 so that it matches the line in the nameserv.bat file described in step 2
of the procedure To Configure the CORBA Name Service Port.

11.4.1.3 Starting the Servers

For each version of the software you are running, do the following:

1. Double-click the file namesrv.bat to start the CORBA name server.

2. Run the script corresponding to your configuration: double-click the file runserver.bat to start the
authenticated server.

11.5 Microsoft Windows Service Mode

editing it.
3. To start the Remote Assistant and connect to the server, run the following command: $ KJWizardCORBA/
KJWizardCORBA.sh
4. To start the Control Panel and connect to the server, run the following command:$ KJWizardCORBA/
KxControlPanel.sh

11.8 Setting Multiple Java Web Start Launchers

Once have successfully configured and started the services, you need to configure the Java Web Start launcher
so that the remote computers can access the servers by simply connecting to a given URL and clicking the
Start SAP Predictive Analytics button.

The easiest way to achieve this is by deploying each Java Web Start launcher on a different web context, for
instance: make SAP Predictive Analytics 2.0 accessible from http://host/PA_20/ and SAP InfiniteInsight ®
version 6.1.0 from http://host/KXEN_610/.

11.8.1 JNLP Files

For each SAP Predictive Analytics version you need to deploy, you must configure the Java Web Start launcher
related to it. Depending on whether you are running an authenticated server or not, you will have to edit
respectively two files or one file.

This chapter only details the settings needed to run multiple SAP Predictive Analytics versions. For information
on the installation of the Web Start launcher and on the configuration of the Web server refer to the Java Web
Start Installation Guide for Windows or Linux.

The following JNLP files need to be edited:

● KJWizard_auth.jnlp: used to connect to an SAP Predictive Analytics Server.

● KxAdminConsole.jnlp: used to control the connections to the server.

Predictive Analytics Installation Guide

116 PUBLIC Running Multiple Instances of Java Web Start
For Windows platforms, they are located in the following directory:

For Linux platforms, they are located in the following directory:

There are three parameters of the JNLP files that need to be edited to correspond to the settings of your
server:

● The codebase: indicates where the Java Web Start Launcher is deployed.
● The ORBInitialPort: indicates which port the server is listening to.
● The ORBInitialHost: indicates the host on which the server is deployed.
