Pre-Upgrade Tasks

Before you upgrade 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.
  • 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.
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 database. See SAS Deployment Wizard Information for Oracle for information about the tnsnames.ora file.
