Hi, I just made a video to show how you can automate migration from SAS Enterprise Guide to SAS Viya.
It is based on a public repository here: https://github.com/larsatsas/auto-eg2viya so if you want to try this out yourself and have access to an environment with Enterprise Guide as well as a SAS Viya environment, you may want to try this out yourself.
As many now are considering migrating Enterprise Guide projects to SAS Viya - I wanted to see how we could automate this quite tedious process that requires tight attention to details.
As humans we are not always good at this – we get bored and sloppy, and mistakes may happen.
So why not automate this and have a computer do this for us? With CICD and devops being a thing, doing migration through CICD seems to be a sensible way of attacking this. Also – many of the tools for migration are well suited for automation – most of them have command-line options.
And as a CICD addict and true believer in all things agile, going cicd on migration makes a ton of sense.
The repository have content and guidance on:
- Understanding and setting up the environments to prepare for CICD
- How to use git to transfer content between SAS94 and SAS Viya
- Using github actions to automate importing and validation of sas content to SAS Viya
Watch the video and let me know what you think - and do take a peak at the repo mentioned above.
