SAS MDM Update Process :: SAS® MDM 4.3: Administrator's Guide

Overview

If you already have SAS MDM installed, the installation and configuration process takes steps to upgrade your existing environment. This involves an MDM database schema evolution process, updates to web applications, and the delivery of updated or new MDM jobs in the data management environment. Several manual post-installation steps are described in this guide, the most important of which is the MDM database schema evolution process.

Prerequisites

Prerequisites for the SAS MDM update process are as follows:

Back up your SAS MDM database before beginning the update process. After you have run the automated installation process, you must manually upgrade the MDM database schema. See Configuring SAS MDM for details.
Back up your SAS Data Remediation database before beginning the update process. This database is updated to the latest version.
The automated installation process makes backups of your data management repository file directories in a predetermined location for both Data Management Studio and Data Management Server. If you prefer to back up these directories to another location, you must copy them manually.
Have SAS MDM database connection information available when you start the installation process. You might be prompted for DSN, schema, user name, and password information depending on your specific configuration.
