Compare products found in Content Assessment to setinit product list

[bl_jyskebank_dk]

Hi all.

I'm looking through Content Assessment for SAS 9.4M7 in order to prepare migration to Viya 4.

We have a lot of SAS programs (thousands) and we are trying to get an overview of our situation, which can be quite complex in a large SAS setup.

I have extracted the PROC and Product list from the CTA reports in Viya.

Then I have extracted the procedure to product list from SAS' website.

And finally I have extracted info from proc setinit in our 9.4 environment.

But the product names extracted from the above places are not camparable.

You cannot just run a PROC SQL and join on product name.

Has anybody here solved that  challenge?
Does anybody know where to find comparable product information/lists in SAS or on the website?

What are you hoping to achieve by comparing SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya products?

[bl_jyskebank_dk]

I'm not trying to compare 9.4 with Viya products.

I'm trying to find a consistent way to recognise product names in 9.4.

But I have decided to go through my list manually in order to find what I need.

Hi @bl_jyskebank_dk 

Have you tried to use the Deployment Registry Report? It will display the Product Code along with its Long/Descriptive name

Here are couple of links on how to generate one for your current deployment.

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/fndigunx/9.4/n05004sasfoundatunx00install.htm

https://sas.service-now.com/csm?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0036131

You'll need to run this on every host/machine you have SAS software deployed on.

Hope this helps,

Ahmed
