Deprecated Functionality

In SAS 9.3, SAS deprecates the following functionality:

The SAS Visual Data Explorer has been deprecated in SAS 9.3.
The SAS Data Surveyor for PeopleSoft has been deprecated and is no longer supported. The SAS Data Surveyor for PeopleSoft continues to be supported on SAS 9.2 systems.
SAS BI Web Services for .NET has been discontinued. SAS BI Web Services for Java supports .NET versions of generated web services that are migrated from SAS 9.2 in a way that is transparent for clients. In fact, clients need to change only endpoint addresses. (And this step can be omitted if a proxy server is used.) For more information, see Migrating SAS BI Web Services for .NET to SAS BI Web Services for Java in SAS BI Web Services: Developer's Guide.
In SAS Data Quality Server, several functions and procedures have been deprecated. For more information, see Deprecated Procedures and Replacing the DQSRV Functions with DMSRV Functions.
The SAS Analytics Platform has been deprecated. Products that used the Analytics Platform as their middle tier (such as SAS Forecast Studio, SAS Enterprise Miner, and SAS Model Manager) now use the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform, which requires a web application server. For more information about web application servers, see http://support.sas.com/resources/thirdpartysupport/v3/appservers.
The SAS Table Server is replaced by the SAS Framework Data Server when you configure the target system by using the SAS Migration Utility. The DataFlux Integration Server is replaced by the DataFlux Data Management Server. For more information about the SAS Migration Utility, see SAS Migration Utility Reference in SAS Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide.

Note: Even though the SAS Table Server is deprecated, it continues to be displayed in the Products to Upgrade section of the Review Required Updates page in the SAS Deployment Wizard. You can ignore this instance.
SAS Shared Services was incorporated into the Web Infrastructure Platform in SAS 9.3.

Note: Even though SAS Shared Services is deprecated, it continues to be displayed in the Products to Upgrade section of the Review Required Updates page in the SAS Deployment Wizard. You can ignore this instance.

Note: If you are upgrading from SAS 9.1.3, the following functionality was deprecated in SAS 9.2:

SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java will have no new releases. It has been replaced by functionality that is available in SAS Web Report Studio 4.3. For more information, see SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java.
The Replication Wizard in SAS Management Console has been deprecated. For more information, see SAS Note 40834 at http://support.sas.com/kb/40/834.html.

Note: The NLSCOMPATMODE option will be deprecated in a future release of SAS, and NLS compatibility mode will no longer be supported. For more information, contact a SAS representative or Technical Support.
