Promoting SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 Content

Using the Export SAS Package and Import SAS Package wizards provided by the SAS Intelligence Platform, you can promote individual metadata objects or groups of objects in SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 from one server to another.

For more information about the promotion tools and how to perform promotion, see SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.

Special Considerations for Promoting Metadata Associated with SAS BI Dashboard 4.3

In addition to the important considerations outlined for promotion in the SAS Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide, the following special considerations apply to SAS BI Dashboard 4.3:

SAS BI Dashboard objects should be imported to an identical folder structure on the target server. The objects from the source location must be imported to the same location in the target environment.
Import the corresponding Indicator Configurations and Prompt Contents for each indicator from these folders to the target server:

/SAS Folders/System/Applications/SAS BI Dashboard/BI Dashboard 4.3/IndicatorConfigs

/SAS Folders/System/Applications/SAS BI Dashboard/BI Dashboard 4.3/PromptContents
SAS BI Dashboard objects do not support dependent objects such as information maps, stored processes, and reports upon which these objects are dependent. Import these dependent objects manually before importing the SAS BI Dashboard objects.
The copy, paste, and paste special functions are not supported for SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 objects.
SAS BI Dashboard 4.3 objects or groups of objects cannot be promoted on the same metadata server.
You can use the Filter option in the Export SAS Package wizard to select SAS BI Dashboard for promotion.
