For information about
the pre-migration tasks that you must perform, see Performing Pre-migration Tasks in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide. Here are the most important steps:
-
Back up your SAS system, including
servers and desktop clients.
-
Back up the SAS Decision Manager
Common Server database if you are migrating from SAS Business Rules Manager
2.2 to 2.2 on a SAS 9.4 system.
-
Perform any required maintenance
that is required to meet minimum baselines.
-
Determine whether you can use a
standard deployment plan to install SAS 9.4 and SAS Business Rules Manager
or whether you need to request a custom deployment plan. You must
specify the plan file when you use the SAS Deployment Wizard.
-
Complete the pre-installation and
migration checklists. These checklists can be customized based on
the deployment plan that you choose.
For more information,
see Completing the Pre-migration Checklists in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide.
-
If you are moving to a new system,
ensure that the required operating system user accounts that you used
for SAS in your current operating system also exist in your new operating
system. Examples of these user accounts include sasadm, sastrust,
and sasdemo.
-
Before you migrate to SAS Business Rules Manager 2.2, you should record
the database settings in your current environment. You must enter
this information in SAS Deployment Wizard.
-
If you are using the
SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server for your SAS Business Rules Manager
2.1 database, record the database name and the user name for your
database. The default database name is brmdb.
-
For the SAS Decision
Manager Common Data Server, record the database name and the user
name for your database. The default database name is dcmdb.
-
If you are using Oracle for your
database, record the following information:
-
fully qualified host name of the
database server
-
port number of the database server
-
Oracle Site Identifier (SID)
-
user ID of the database user whose
credentials are used to access SAS Business Rules Manager data
on the server
-
password of the database user whose
credentials are used to access SAS Business Rules Manager data
on the server
You can find the Oracle
SID in the tnsnames.ora file. You can also determine the SID by running
the following query using a database user ID on your Oracle instance:
select instance from v$thread
You
must enter the SID in the
Database name field
in the
SAS Decision Manager Database JDBC Properties dialog
box in SAS Deployment Wizard.
-
Install third-party software. If
you are using Oracle for your database, ensure that the Oracle client
is installed on your server tier and that there is a matching tnsnames.ora
file for the SAS Decision Manager Common Data Server
database.
See
SAS Deployment Wizard Information for Oracle for information
about the tnsnames.ora file.

Use the SAS Migration Utility to
create a migration package.
