After installing IT Resource Management (ITRM) 2.7 on Windows or Unix, 
the following message may appear in a SAS Log: 
 
   ERROR: This PDB was created under a different SAS version 
          (8) and cannot be accessed in WRITE mode. 
          It can, however, be accessed in READONLY mode. 
 
There are three scenarios in which this message can appear: 
 
1.  When ITRM is started for the first time in interactive mode on 
    Windows or Unix, ITRM searches for the demo PDBs with ACCESS=WRITE 
    and adds them to SASUSER.CPUSROPT. Since the demo PDBs are from 
    SAS 8 and is accessed by default in ACCESS=WRITE mode, a message 
    is generated giving notification to convert the demo PDBs. 
 
2.  The message appears when attempting to access a PDB created with a 
    release prior to ITRM 2.7.  Reference the "Migrating Your SAS® IT 
    Resource Management Environment from SAS 8 to SAS 9" documentation 
    for details on PDB conversion: 
 
http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/itsv/index.html#migrate 
 
3.  The message appears when attempting to access a new PDB created 
    with ITRM 2.7.  This can happen because the PDB options were not 
    populated correctly.  To circumvent this problem, follow these 
    steps: 
 
    If you will be using only a single ITRM 2.7 sitelib (and not 
    sharing this sitelib with other ITRM/ITSV releases), You can 
    make a backup of your prefix.sitelib, then run a program (similar 
    to the sample below) against a newly created (and active) PDB using 
    ITRM 2.7: 
 
          %CPSTART(ROOT=root_location, 
                  MODE=BATCH, 
                  PDB=name_of_newly_created_pdb, 
                  DISP=OLD, 
                  SITELIB=site_library); 
 
          %CPPDBOPT(COPY=PGMLIB,TYPE=DICTLIB); 
          %CPPDBOPT(COPY=DICTLIB,TYPE=SITELIB); 
 
    After running this program,  the problem will be corrected for the 
    newly created PDB and any new PDBs created thereafter with ITRM 
    2.7. 
 
    If you will *NOT* be using a single sitelib or will be sharing a 
    sitelib with a previous release of ITRM, you will need to run a 
    program similar to the following sample for each PDB that has been 
    created using ITRM 2.7: 
 
         %CPSTART(ROOT=root_location, 
                 MODE=BATCH, 
                 PDB=name_of_newly_created_pdb, 
                 DISP=OLD); 
 
         %CPPDBOPT(COPY=PGMLIB,TYPE=DICTLIB); 
 
This problem will be corrected in a future release of ITRM.
