Upgrading SAS Projects

The goal of upgrading an imported project is to alter the project content so that it matches the contents of a project of the same type that was created with AppDev Studio 3.41. The upgrade process depends on the type of project.

Upgrade a SAS Web Application Project for SAS 9.3

  1. Right-click the project in the Project Explorer and select Properties.
  2. Select Project Facets.
  3. Change the version of the SAS Java Components facet to 9.3.0.0000.
    If the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform facet is enabled, also change its version to 9.3.0.0000.
    Both SAS facets can be enabled if they are the same version. Until you change the version of both facets to 9.3.0.0000, an error is displayed.
  4. Click Apply to upgrade the project facets.
  5. Select Targeted Runtimes.
  6. Deselect the ADS Apache Tomcat v6.0 runtime and click Apply.
    This removes the old server runtime that references the SAS 9.2 Mid-tier JDK Java runtime.
  7. Add an updated server runtime that references the SAS 9.3 Mid-tier JDK Java runtime by re-selecting the ADS Apache Tomcat v6.0 runtime and clicking Apply.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Select Projectthen selectClean.
  10. In the Clean dialog box, select Clean projects selected below and enable the check box for the project that you just upgraded. Click OK.
The project is now upgraded.

Upgrade a SAS Java Application or Portlet Project

  1. Right-click the project in the Project Explorer and select Properties.
  2. Select Java Build Path and then the Libraries tab.
  3. Click Add Library.
  4. Select the SAS Tooling library and click Next.
  5. Click Finish to add the library, and then OK.
If the SAS Repository configuration for the project is the same as the default AppDev Studio configuration, the project upgrade is complete. If manual changes were made to the SAS Repository configuration, see Migrating the SAS Repository Configuration for SAS Java Application Projects.
