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 of SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 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 of SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 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 . If you are migrating from SAS Enterprise Guide 4.2, the
metadata is already in a SAS 9.2 Metadata Repository, so you only
need to migrate SAS Enterprise Guide projects.
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 4.3 and change
any references to metadata objects that have been renamed or moved.
When you open a project in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.3, 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 4.3 to
enable you to migrate groups of projects and documents to the correct
format and to make global changes to metadata references.

see Using the Migration Wizard.
Access to SAS Enterprise
Guide 4.3 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.
