Designing Your Migration

When designing your SAS Visual Analytics migration, consult Designing Your Migration in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide.
The tasks required for designing your migration are as follows:
  1. Understand the high-level SAS migration requirements.
    Consult High-Level SAS Migration Requirements in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide.
  2. Determine which SAS products reside on each machine.
    Run a SAS migration analysis report on your SAS Visual Analytics server and middle tier machine. (Do not run the migration utility on the SAS High-Performance Analytics environment.)
    • To report on SAS Visual Analytics 6.1, use smu93.
    • To report on SAS Visual Analytics 6.2 and later, use smu94.
    For more information, see Inventorying Your Current SAS Deployment in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide.
  3. Obtain a SAS 9.4 deployment plan.
    With a current migration analysis report at hand, contact your SAS representative to obtain a valid SAS 9.4 deployment plan for your current SAS deployment.
    Note: The SAS Visual Analytics Explorer Server Configuration component in release 6.1 has been merged into SAS Visual Analytics Server Components.
  4. Plan SAS user downtime at your site.
    You need to schedule a window of time when your SAS deployment is not being used to install and configure SAS 9.4 and migrate your SAS content.
