Upgrading from 9.2 to 9.4 codes execute really slow

[Nafsika]

Hello. After we upgraded SAS 9.2 to SAS 9.4 codes that needed 2 hours to be executed now takes 9 hours. This applies to all of our pcs were we have installed the SAS with its license. We've already excluded SAS from our antivirus. We are using SAS Foundation and not Enterprise. Any thoughts? We are facing a huge issue with this delays.

This is highly likely some install & config issue and will require much more detail than you can share publicly to get to the bottom of it.

I recommend that you contact SAS Tech Support directly.

Without knowing anything about the hardware used and the install/upgrade process, it is hardly possible to say anything helpful.

1) Does your code uses indexes created by datastep/proc datasets in SQL queries?

2) Does your code produces a lot of listings/figures?

Run your codes with

options fullstimer;

set and look at the timing information of particularly long-running steps. Compare these with logs from the 9.2 setup. Once you find (a) step(s) with a dramatic difference, post the 9.4 log here.

Since 9.2 is very old, what else did change? I suspect you installed new computers at the same time.

I moved this to the Administration & Deployment community, as it has nothing to do with the working of the SAS Communities website.
