Migrating the SAS Repositories

[vijayanand]

Hi ,

Currently we are migration a SAS application from AIX (SAS 9.3) to Linux (SAS9.4). This application has many DI Studio jobs. We could migrate all the jobs which are lying in project related folders.

Some of the jobs were checked out in the source (AIX) for editing as part of the current business activity.  How do we migrate these checked out jobs also to the target (Linux).

One option we could find is to check out the same job int he target and then promote the metadata from Aix to Linux using Export and Import wizards.  However, this is very time consuming process as there are many jobs in the check out folders. How do we move all of them in one go.

Thanks,

Vijay.

Not sure what is actually possible, but migrating checked-out jobs dosn't sound safe.

Have all the jobs checked in, then migrate.

If your goal is to minimize downtime for your developers:

• make a plan
• communicate it
• do migration tests
• perform migration after office hours
• validate
