Operating System Migration

If you are migrating from one UNIX operating system to another, or from a Windows 32-bit server to a Windows 64-bit server, then some post-installation tasks are required to complete the migration process. SAS Model Manager provides post-migration macros to assist with this process. Only SAS files on the WebDAV server in the\\ModelManagerDefaultRepository\Project\Version\Resources directory are handled by the post-migration macros. If you have SAS files in another directory location, you must manually migrate them.
Note:
  • You must have access to the SAS deployment on the source system and target system to run these macros.
  • Three of the macros are available for download at http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/blind/mm_migration.sas.
  • The performance data macro %MM_migrationStep3() is available in the catalog sashelp.modelmgr.mm_migration.source.
Perform the following steps to ensure that all data, content, and link and filename references that are used by SAS Model Manager are accessible by the new SAS 9.3 deployment:
  1. Run the %MM_migrationStep0() macro on the SAS Workspace Server in your target system.
    Operating Environment Information: This step is only for a migration from SAS Model Manager 2.1.
  2. Run the %MM_migrationStep1() macro on the SAS Workspace Server in your source system.
  3. Run the %MM_migrationStep2() macro on the SAS Workspace Server in your target system.
  4. Run the %MM_migrationStep3() macro on the SAS Workspace Server in your target system.
    Operating Environment Information: This step is not needed for a migration from SAS Model Manager 12.1.
Note: For more information about the migration macros, see SAS Model Manager Post-Migration Macros.
Here are three example programs of migration for your reference. You can modify them for your environment.
