To upgrade to SAS Federation Server 3.2,
you must perform certain tasks to update your databases and configuration
files. There are two options for upgrading to SAS Federation Server 3.2:
-
Migration: Migration is the process in which
you upgrade your content and configuration from an earlier version
of SAS Federation Server to run in SAS Federation Server 3.2.
Perform a migration when you are upgrading to a different version
platform (for example, from 2.1.x to 3.x). If you are using Federation
Server 2.1.x, use the Migration tasks to update your databases to
be compatible with SAS Federation Server 3.2.
-
Promotion: Promotion is the movement of selected
content from Federation Server 3.1.x to a current configured installation
of SAS Federation Server on the same version platform
(for example, from 3.1.x to 3.2). Use promotion if you are currently
using Federation Server 3.1.x and are upgrading your databases to SAS Federation Server 3.2.
