Best Practices Migration with PROC MIGRATE: Migrate Files
Migrating files to the target SAS installation is the third phase, after creating backups and benchmarks and installing SAS. As part of the installation, you have already validated that SAS®9 is installed correctly and is performing correctly.
You might choose to migrate in stages. For example, you could migrate one workgroup at a time. Or you could identify the processes that need SAS®9 features the most, and migrate them first.
- Step 1: Update SAS programs and custom SAS applications
- Update SAS code to
run correctly for SAS®9 and for any differences in the
target operating environment.
- Step 2: Migrate data to SAS®9 format
- Use PROC MIGRATE to migrate data sets and other SAS files.
For some files not covered by PROC MIGRATE, you can move them to
the target and then recompile to save them in SAS®9 format.
