Course Data Availability

Any data that has been uploaded by an instructor or researcher for an active course (that is, a course that extends past August, 2014) will be migrated. However, the LIBNAME and/or FILENAME statement used to access that data will change. You must sign in to the Control Center after the upgrade to identify the updated LIBNAME and/or FILENAME statement.

After signing in, locate your course in the Courses I Teach area. Then, click the Details link. You will then be able to find your Course Data path, which is equal to your LIBNAME or FILENAME statement.
