All project-related
or model-related data source definitions and publishing channels must
be accessible to the SAS Workspace Server that is used by SAS Model
Manager. In addition, input and output data sources that are used
for scoring tasks, as well as any directories that are associated
with publishing channels and dashboard reports must also be accessible
to the SAS Workspace Server. The SAS Workspace Server that SAS Model
Manager 3.1 uses is defined when running the SAS Deployment Wizard,
and can be managed using SAS Management Console after installation.
The default location for the channels directory and dashboard report
directory is different in SAS Model Manager 3.1. This data does not
need to be migrated to work with SAS Model Manager 3.1, but must be
accessible to the SAS Workspace Server that SAS Model Manager 3.1
uses. The SAS Model Manager 2.1, 2.2, or 2.3 data sources and directories
can be made available to the new SAS Workspace Server by copying the
directories or making the network directories available to the new
SAS Workspace Server for SAS Model Manager 3.1. If you want to keep
the same directory path on the new machine, you must change the default
path during installation.
For example, in your
SAS Model Manager 2.1 environment on the SAS Workspace Server, all
of the scoring input and output data sets are stored in the
c:\MMDataSources directory
on the source machine. This location was specified when you registered
the data sets using SAS Management Console. When SAS Model Manager
2.1 executes a scoring task, the SAS Workspace Server accesses these
input and output data sets. You should copy the entire
MMDataSources directory
and place it in the same location (for example,
c:\)
on the new SAS Workspace Server for SAS Model Manager 3.1. If you
have multiple directories in your SAS Model Manager 2.1 environment
that contain SAS Model Manager scoring input and output data sets,
copy each directory in the same manner.
Publishing channels
that have a persistent store type of
Archive and
an archive type of
File have configuration
information in metadata that points to a specific location. If this
location is local to the SAS Workspace Server in the source system,
then make sure that the location exists on the new SAS Workspace Server
for SAS Model Manager 3.1 on SAS 9.3. For example, in a SAS Model
Manager 2.1 environment, you can use
C:\Channels as
the storage location. Then copy the channels directory from the SAS
Workspace Server for SAS Model Manager 2.1 to the
C:\ directory
on the SAS Workspace Server for SAS Model Manager 3.1.
If a network location
is used in any of the cases above, make sure that the network location
is accessible to the SAS Workspace Server that is used by SAS Model
Manager. The network location access permissions might require assistance
from a system administrator.
