Life Cycle Templates

When you are migrating to SAS Model Manager 12.1 from SAS Model Manager 2.1 or later, all custom content from the ext directory is automatically copied to SAS Model Manager 12.1 ext directory as part of the migration process. This content includes all user-defined life cycle templates, model templates, report templates, and SAS code files.

Here are the ext directory locations for the different versions of SAS Model Manager:

Version of SAS Model Manager	Directory Location
2.1	`C:\sasinstalldir\SASAPCore\apps\ModelManagement\ext`
2.2 and 2.3	`\sasconfigdir\Lev#\AnalyticsPlatform\apps\ModelManager\ext`
3.1 and 3.1 M1	`\sasconfigdir\Lev#\AppData\SASModelManager3.1\ext`
12.1	`\sasconfigdir\Lev#\AppData\SASModelManager12.1\ext`

If the template files are from SAS Model Manager 2.1, the SAS Demo User and SAS Administrator participants in any custom life cycle templates must be changed. To check to see whether your custom life cycle templates contain either of those users in the participant list, do the following:

Note: You must use the DAVTree utility in your SAS 9.3 deployment to modify files that are located on the WebDAV Server. Only a SAS Administrator with Write access can access the DAVTree utility. The DAVTree utility can be found in the \sasconfigdir\Lev1\Web\Utilities directory.

Run the DAVTree.bat file to open the DAVTree utility program. Select FileOpen, enter the URL http://server-name:port/SASContentServer/repository/default/ModelManager/ and then click OK.
Enter the user name and password for the configured SAS Administrator or SAS Model Manager Administrator.
Expand the ConfigTemplates and ext directories.
Right-click the custom Life Cycle Template XML file and select Edit to open it in the text editor.
Replace all occurrences of SAS Demo User with the user name sasdemo. For example, replace the value of the name for participant id= “1” in the XML file.
Before Change
```
<Participants>
        <Participant id="1" name="SAS Demo User"/>
</Participants>
```
After Change
```
<Participants>
        <Participant id="1" name="sasdemo"/>
 </Participants>
```
Replace all occurrences of SAS Administrator with the user name that you configured as SAS Model Manager administrator (for example, the user name mdlmgradmin).

Increment the version number of the Life Cycle Template XML file by 1. For example, change the value of version in the example XML file from “5” to “6”.

Before Change

<LifecycleTemplate
	name="Custom Lifecycle Template"
	version="5"
	isDefault="false"
	description="A custom lifecycle template for users."
>

After Change

<LifecycleTemplate
	name="Custom Lifecycle Template"
	version="6"
	isDefault="false"
	description="A custom lifecycle template for users."
>

Save the file.
Repeat steps 1 through 5 for each custom life cycle template.
Restart the application server where the SAS Model Manager EAR was installed in order for the changes to take effect.
