Upgrade Steps

To determine the required steps to upgrade to the latest version of SAS Model Manager, see the upgrade instructions in SAS Guide to Software Updates at http://support.sas.com/documentation/whatsnew/index.html. For instructions about how to complete the installation and configuration process for an upgrade, see Add SAS Products That Require Configuration in SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.
Here is product-specific information for running the SAS Deployment Wizard for the second time to complete the upgrade process:
  1. Select a plan file that contains SAS Model Manager and SAS Decision Manager Common products. The plan file must be compatible with the plan that was originally used to configure your source system. Verify that you use the new SAS installation data file during this installation.
    Note: For an installation in a multi-machine environment, the server products are typically installed on the SAS Application Server. The rest of the products are on a middle-tier server.
  2. By default, all products that are displayed are installed. Do not change the selections. If there are no product changes, then the deployment wizard does not re-install any pre-existing products.
    Make sure that the following products are among those selected for installation when upgrading from SAS Model Manager 12.3:
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Data Server
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Mid-Tier for Decision Manager
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Mid-Tier for Decision Manager Help and Documentation
  3. Some SAS server services must be started before beginning the configuration process.
    Make sure that the following services are started:
    • SAS Decision Manager Common Data Server
      Note: This service is available only when upgrading from SAS Model Manager 13.1.
    • SAS Metadata Server
    • SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server
    • SAS Web Server (httpd - WebServer)
    • SAS Object Spawner
    • SAS JMS Broker
