Good day data community,

 

I am currently on the task to migrate a dataflux server from sas 9.3 to sas 9.4 I am not sure on how to start with this, since my previous migration experience was on codes in 9.3 to grid, or from codes to data integration jobs.

 

The scenario is:

- Server on 9.3 it's using Dataflux Data Management Server on a Linux environment.

- Server on 9.4 it's using Dataflux Data Management Server on a Linux and Grid environment.

- Data management studio version for sas 9.3 users it's 2.4, with current jobs for names, address and phone numbers, and cutomized QKB.

- A couple of sas codes that uses data quality macros like %dqload, codes should be migrated too, but I think these codes doesn't require any special treatment to move them.

- Data management studio version for sas 9.4 users it's 2.6 (where existing jobs and QKB should be migrated).

 

Questions:

1.- Is there a special process to migrate Data Management jobs from 2.4 to 2.7 or a higher version?

2.- Is it possible to backup the current jobs (maybe create an spk in Management Console) and then restore them in new server running on 9.4? Or should I recreate the jobs and existing rules?

3.- Customized QKB should require an special treatment to migrate?

 

Any advice, previous experience or document with this will be great!

 

Thank you.

 

Many thanks in advance for your reply/replies.

Hi @Kal_ETL,

Did you check this Data Flux migration guide?

http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dfdmstudio/2.7/dmpmig.pdf

It has detailed explanation on which content can be automatically migrated and which has to be modified a bit. I think this should be a good place to start and plan an effective migration.

Since you have also mentioned about migration to a newer version of SAS Platform, there is an guide to start of that as well. Here's the link to that:

Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Thank you Anand,

 

It will help I guess, I just reviewed that document but for 2.6 and it seems it can not be all backup, some manual job.
