Publishing Channels

When migrating from a previous release of SAS Model Manager, you must manually copy the contents of the channels directory from your old system to a directory on the new machine that is running SAS Workspace Server. It is recommended that you use the same directory name when migrating from an existing SAS Model Manager 12.1 deployment to a new deployment of SAS Model Manager 12.1. If you use the same directory name, you do not need to copy the contents of the channels directory. In SAS Model Manager 2.1 the channels directory was set up manually. For SAS Model Manager 2.2 and 2.3, the default directory path is \SASConfigDir\Lev#\AnalyticsPlatform\apps\ModelManager\Channels. In SAS Model Manager 3.1 and 3.1 M1, the default directory path is \SASConfigDir\Lev#\AppData\SASModelManager3.1\Channels. In SAS Model Manager 12.1, the default directory path is \SASConfigDir\Lev#\AppData\SASModelManager12.1\Channels. For example, in Windows the path might be C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\AppData\SASModelManager12.1\Channels.
If you use a different directory name, then you must modify the channel persistent store directory location. For more information, see Modify an Existing Channel or Channels Node Location in SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide.
In SAS 9.2, security configurations were changed. If you are moving from SAS 9.1.3 to SAS 9.3, all migrated publishing channels that SAS Model Manager might use must be modified in the new SAS 9.3 deployment to give SAS Model Manager users additional permissions.

  1. Log in to SAS Management Console using the SAS Administrator account.
  2. Expand the Publishing Frameworkthen selectFoundationthen selectChannels folders.
  3. Expand any custom folders that might have been created.
  4. Right-click the migrated channel definition and select Properties to view the channel properties dialog box.
  5. Click the Authorization tab.
  6. Click Add.
  7. Select Model Manager Administrator Users and Model Manager Advanced Users under the Available Identities panel and add them to the Selected Identities panel.
  8. Click OK.
  9. Select Model Manager Administrator Users and grant the WriteMetadata permission to this group by clicking the Grant column in the Effective Permissions panel.
  10. Select Model Manager Advanced Users and grant the WriteMetadata permission to this group by clicking the Grant column in the Effective Permissions panel.
  11. Click OK.
  12. Repeat steps 4 through 11 for each migrated SAS Model Manager channel.
