SAS
provides the following tools to automate most of the tasks necessary
to migrate to SAS 9.3:
The SAS Migration Utility
is a cross-platform framework and set of SAS product extensions whose
primary purpose is to output a package of content from an earlier
SAS version and configuration that the SAS Deployment Wizard will
use when it installs and configures SAS 9.3.
The SAS Deployment Wizard
is a cross-platform utility that installs and initially configures
SAS 9.3 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 the migration package created by the SAS Migration
Utility and upgrades SAS content and configuration to run in SAS 9.3.
