If you attempt to Replace the SAS server on a project migrated into SAS^® Enterprise Guide^® 4.1 from a previous release of SAS Enterprise Guide, you might receive the following error message:

This will typically happen when you have a table used as input to a task or when a query does not exist on the server you are specifying in the replace.

For example, if you have an input table to a query that outputs to a WORK table, and that WORK table is also input into another query such as in the following:

Suppose you originally ran this project on your local SAS Server. Then you moved the project to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 and now want to run this project on your SASMain server. However, the WORK.QURY1 table does not exist on the SASMain server. When you run Replace SAS Server, it returns an error "Unable to create data WORK.QURY1" and the replace will fail.

To circumvent this problem, you can try one of the following two workarounds:

1. Convert the 3.0 project using the EGPMover tool to modify the server before you are migrating the project to SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1.
2. Make sure the temporary table exists on the new server before running Replace SAS Server in SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1. You can create a dummy table in the same library/location on the server with the same name.
