Migration
OLAP Cube Servers
The SAS OLAP Server provides dedicated storage for data that has been summarized along multiple business dimensions. The server uses a threaded, scalable, and open technology and is especially designed for fast-turnaround processing and reporting.
For any updates or hotfixes that are required before you can migrate, see the baseline requirements topic.
Messages
After installing SAS OLAP Server, you will
need to recreate existing cubes manually.
- This message is a reminder of a post-migration task. In some deployments, rebuilding cubes can be time-consuming, so this task is left to the administrator or user, following migration. For more information, see SAS Intelligence Platform: 9.1.3 to 9.2 Migration Guide.
- The server name contains
characters not compatible with SAS 9.2. Please remove the incompatible characters from server name
before migration.
- Correct the name of the server in SAS 9.1.3 Management Console, and run SAS Migration Utility again.
The naming convention in the SAS Management Console has changed. In SAS 9.1.3, the forward slash and backslash characters are supported in server names, but in SAS 9.2 these characters are not supported. Other unsupported characters in server names include control characters (e.g., tabs, newlines) and leading or trailing blanks. The name must not be greater than 60 characters, and must be specified (non-null).
- "server-name" will not be
migrated successfully, as its port cannot be found. To support migration for this server,
you need to update the port attribute of the connection of this server and run SMU again.
- Correct the port attribute in SAS 9.1.3 Management Console and run SAS Migration Utility again.
- "server-name" uses TCP/IP service
"service-name". Make sure the service is available on 9.2 system to avoid
configuration failure during migration.
- This message indicates that an administrator set the service attribute manually with the SAS 9.1.3 Management Console, and the attribute contains characters that are not supported in SAS 9.2. Usually these unsupported characters are white space. Correct the service attribute in SAS 9.1.3 Management Console and run SAS Migration Utility again.
