Promoting Content to SAS Federation Server 4.1

To promote SAS Federation Server databases:
  1. Stop the 3.x servers using Windows Services Manager, the Start menu, or the dfsadmin utility for UNIX.
  2. Copy the 3.1 or 3.2 SYSCAT.TDB (Windows) or syscat.tdb (UNIX) and the SQL_LOG.TDB files to the 4.1 installation location (for example, <SAS Home>\SASFederationServer\4.1\fedserver\var).
  3. Start the 4.1 servers using Windows Services Manager, the Start menu, or the dfsadmin utility for UNIX.
Tip
If any custom configuration changes were made to the existing configuration files, update the new configuration files with these configurations. For more information, see SAS Federation Server Configuration Reference
Note: When promotion is performed as an ‘Upgrade in Place’ (UIP), the port number for the prior release (3.x) is reassigned to release 4.1. As a result, release 3.x is disabled and the associated service or daemon will no longer run.
