Migrating from a SAS 9 Grid environment to SAS Viya introduces new ways to manage workload, scale resources, and modernize scheduling without losing core capabilities. This session explains how SAS Workload Orchestrator replaces traditional grid components, how batch, parallel, and scheduled jobs translate to Viya, and what changes in architecture and tooling to expect. You’ll see how features like Kubernetes-based scaling, integrated workload management, and flexible scheduling options reshape how jobs are executed. The session also highlights practical migration steps, common pitfalls, and tools that help streamline the transition.
