Migration

Platform Process Manager

Platform Process Manager is a component of Platform Suite for SAS®. Migration instructions for Platform Process Manager are available in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide. See also "Installation Guide: Platform Suite for SAS," which is available from the Install Center.

For any updates or hot fixes that are required before you can migrate, see the baseline requirements topic.

Messages

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 the previous deployment's SAS 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 and later 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).

JOB Scheduler found, You have to manually upgrade it to PlatformPM. Metadata definition of the job scheduler will be changed to platformPM on target machine for you

Platform Job Scheduler is not supported in the new deployment. The metadata is automatically changed to Platform Process Manager, but you must manually upgrade to Platform Process Manager. For more information, see SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide and SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide
