Hi All,

Would the 'SASContentAssessment' utility able to identify and categorize SAS artifact by its application, Such as evaluating a SAS files, and associating to DI , or to a model

We are currently assessing an legacy SAS Grid environment, wherein the client has SAS artifact spread across SAS programs, DI Job, Model, Report , some of it which is deployed on Grid and some are non grid.

It's a brand new tool, so I'm not sure there will be many here who have experience with it and can answer your question. You may just have to read the documentation, and if the tool is available to you, experiment with it.

If you are referring to this: https://support.sas.com/downloads/package.htm?pid=2465#

then AFAIK it is a tool for examining your SAS installation specifically looking at potential issues with upgrading in place. It has nothing to do with any user-built content which you have added to it like programs, reports, jobs and so on.
