Hi ,
My requirement is to migrate the SAS application from AIX 7.1 (SAS9.3) to Linux.(SAS9.4). This application has SAS BI Suite as well (DI Studio,SAS EG, SAS IDP and SAS Web Report Studio). I am thinking of two options.
1) Migrate the source system to Linux with SAS version 9.3 and then upgrade the SAS version to 9,4
2) Install SAS 9.4 on Linux in target environment and then migrate the application from source to target
3) I believe the metadata package exported in SAS 9.3 would not have any problem while importing into SAS9.4. Any other eay of doing this.
Which one would be a better choice between 1 and 2 here. Thoughts please..
Thanks.
Most definitely 2) is your best option. You can't migrate SAS software from one operating system to another. A complete new installation is required so you might as well install SAS 9.4M5, which is the latest available maintenance.
Don't forget you need to migrate ALL SAS content including metadata, SAS datasets, formats, catalogs, EG projects, SAS programs and so on.
SAS provides very good resources for migration: http://support.sas.com/rnd/migration/utility/upgrade.html
