| Migration to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 |
Migrating from SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1
If you are migrating from SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1, the migration process has two parts--migrating metadata and migrating SAS Enterprise Guide projects. Because metadata contains definitions for the objects that projects are built on, you must first migrate metadata repositories and definitions. If your installation stored metadata in a SAS Metadata Repository, you must migrate the repository and the definitions to a SAS 9.2 Metadata Repository. This step is part of the process of migration to SAS 9.2. For information about the migration process, see the SAS Intelligence Platform: 9.1.3 to 9.2 Migration Guide. If your installation stored metadata definitions in a SAS Enterprise Guide repository, the definitions must be re-created in a SAS 9.2 Metadata Repository, as detailed in Migrating from a SAS Enterprise Guide Repository.
After you have migrated or converted metadata definitions, you must migrate your SAS Enterprise Guide projects. To migrate a project, you must convert the project to the format that is required by SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 and change any references to metadata objects that have been renamed or moved. When you open a project in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, the project is automatically converted to the correct format. However, you must manually change the references for each changed metadata object in the project. If your organization has a large number of projects to migrate, migrating them one at a time is inefficient and can lead to errors in metadata references. A utility is included with SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 to enable you to migrate groups of projects and documents to the correct format and to make global changes to metadata references. For more information, see Using the Migration Wizard.
Access to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2 tasks is controlled through roles. If you enabled SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 tasks based on user groups, you must define roles and specify role-based access controls to re-create your previous configuration. For more information, see Administering Role-Based Settings.
