SAS OLAP Server

• For SAS 9.3, see SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates.

• For the maintenance releases for SAS 9.2, see the Maintenance Release Announcement for SAS 9.2.

Peaceful Coexistence of Multiple Versions

You can install multiple versions of SAS OLAP Server on the same computer. If you keep multiple versions of a cube, then be sure to store and reference the cubes in different locations. For more information about known coexistence issues, see the peaceful coexistence topic.

Upgrading from SAS/MDDB Server

As of SAS®9, the SAS/MDDB Server, which creates MDDBs, is a component of the SAS OLAP Server, which creates cubes. SAS 8 OLAP data is accessible in SAS®9. However, when you build or read SAS 8 MDDBs, you cannot take advantage of new SAS®9 features without re-creating the data as SAS®9 data. For conversion information, read about transitioning from Release 8.2 in the SAS online documentation. See also a SUGI 29 paper about moving forward to SAS OLAP Server.
