Overview of the Upgrade Process

Beginning with SAS Model Manager 14.1, the software includes SAS Decision Manager Common components and is integrated with SAS Lineage as well. If you are upgrading from SAS Model Manager 14.1 to 14.2, only one pass of the SAS Deployment Wizard is needed. If you are upgrading from SAS Model Manager 12.3 or 13.1 on SAS 9.4 to SAS Model Manager 14.2 on SAS 9.4, additional installation and configurations steps are required. Therefore, two passes of the SAS Deployment Wizard installation and configuration process are required in order to complete the upgrade. During the first pass, the SAS Deployment Wizard detects which products in your existing deployment to upgrade. After the upgrade has completed successfully, the configuration stage begins. After the configuration stage is complete, you must rerun the SAS Deployment Wizard to install the new product components and to complete the configuration.
If you are upgrading from SAS Model Manager 13.1 to 14.2, the upgrade process supports upgrading to a database from the same vendor as the database that you are currently using. Upgrading from a database based on Oracle to a database based on PostgreSQL, or vice versa, is not supported.
If you are using Oracle for your SAS Decision Manager database, the upgrade process assumes that the upgraded environment uses the same instance of Oracle. The upgrade process does not support moving to a different Oracle database server.
