SAS Mirror Manager is a tool that is used to download the most current Viya software from SAS and prepare the deployment mirror repository for an update. The SAS Mirror Manager is a command-line interface (CLI) tool that is used to create, manage and update deployment mirror repositories. It allows you to download software components from the SAS Software Depot and store them in a local repository. This enables you to perform updates and new installations of SAS Viya without requiring internet access.

When promoting content from SAS 9 to SAS Viya, the correct order of tasks after you've created an initial map of system information is to promote content, promote internal groups, and then promote data definitions. Content promotion involves copying SAS 9 content into Viya, while the promotion of internal groups and data definitions involves creating Viya roles and data objects.

The CAS Server must be manually restored when restoring from a default backup. According to the official SAS documentation, "If you restore the CAS Server from a backup, you must install and continue to use the same version of the server that was used at the time of the backup."

The baseDN field within the identities service configuration is used to specify the starting point for the LDAP search for a user or group. It defines the location in the directory tree where the search for a user or group should begin. This is known as the search base and it is used to limit the scope of the search and improve performance.

The Advanced tab in the CAS server configuration allows users to configure additional settings, such as the authentication domain, which is required for CAS to access external databases. The Data Sources page in the CAS server configuration allows users to view the tables that are available in an external database and that the user is authorized to access. The tables are not automatically loaded into memory at startup by default; instead, the user must explicitly load the tables into memory using the caslib command.

No, that is incorrect. When a user starts a CAS session, the DEFAULT user account that executes the session process and owns the directory and all files within it is the cas account. The cas account is the default system account that is used to run the CAS processes and manage the resources, and it is created during the SAS Viya installation. You can find this information in the SAS Viya 3.5 Administering Guide page 32.
