Overview of Migrating Content to SAS 9.2

Migration Tools

SAS provides tools to automate most of the tasks necessary to migrate to SAS 9.2. These tools are:

SAS Migration Utility
SAS Deployment Wizard

The SAS Migration Utility is a cross-platform framework and set of SAS product extensions whose primary purpose is to output a package of SAS 9.1.3 content and configuration that the SAS Deployment Wizard will use when it installs and configures SAS 9.2.

The SAS Deployment Wizard is a cross-platform utility that installs and initially configures SAS 9.2 products. Using a SAS installation data file and a deployment plan for its initial input, the wizard is designed to prompt the customer for all the remaining input at the start of the session so that the customer does not have to monitor an entire deployment. During a migration, the wizard reads migration packages created by the SAS Migration Utility and upgrades SAS content and configuration to run in SAS 9.2.
