Analysis Report Messages

Migration

Stored Process Servers

SAS® Stored Process Servers fulfill client requests to execute SAS stored processes. A stored process is a SAS program that is stored on a server and can be executed as required by requesting applications.

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 target SAS version. 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).

No object spawner is assigned to "server-name (server-ID)". This server will not be migrated.

Without an association to an object spawner, the server cannot function and therefore is not migrated. If you want to migrate the server, then in the previous deployment, associate an object spawner to the server and run SAS Migration Utility again.

Server "server-name" uses "server-ID" login user-ID. This login will be modified to match the target machine name during migration and must exist on the target system for the server to function.

This is an informational message to notify you that the SAS Migration Utility is able to change the login to match the target system.

Server "server-name" uses "server-ID" login user-ID. This login will not be modified during migration and must exist on the target system for the server to function.

The SAS Migration Utility is not able to change the login to match the target system. See SAS Note 36464 for instructions to correct the login in the previous deployment's SAS Management Console, and run SAS Migration Utility again.
