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.
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.
Regards.
