Overview of Conversion Steps

To convert existing SAS/IntrNet programs to stored processes, perform the following steps:
  1. Install and configure the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform, a component of SAS Integration Technologies that includes the SAS Stored Process Web Application, which is used to emulate the Application Broker.
  2. Copy the program to a valid source code repository for a stored process server.
    Note: Starting with SAS 9.3, you can store source code in the stored process metadata rather than on the application server. To do this, when you register the stored process metadata, click Edit Source Code in the New Stored Process wizard or the Execution tab of the Stored Process Properties dialog box. Copy and paste the code into the buffer provided.
  3. Modify the program as required to address the items discussed in the Conversion Considerations. For more information, see Conversion Considerations.
  4. Register the stored process using the New Stored Process wizard in SAS Management Console.
  5. Modify the HTML for any custom input forms. Also, convert any HTML pages that link to your stored process to use the SAS Stored Process Web Application URL syntax.
  6. Run the stored process.
