Risk Dimension Code promotion

[MadhuKiran1]

Hello ,

We have SAS Risk Dimension code developed in the windows environment and it is ready for moving to PROD.

1. we tried to copy and paste the entire project repository folder (from windows level) to the new environment (in the matching location       from the current server to new server).

2. current server RD code is running fine with no issues.

3. when migrated to new environment the new changes(other than SAS provided along with installation) which we have made has not reflecting in the new environment. (changes like Pricing Methods, Instrument types, variable definitions, Curve Registrations.. etc).

as I understand SAS has not provided any tool to migrate this RD environments across servers, could you please guide us the right way of migrating things specific to Risk Dimensions.

Thanks in Advance.

I'm not a user of Risk Dimensions, but if it uses the same mechanism for application migration as other SAS products, then you need to look at the promotion tools available in your version of SAS:

SAS Management Console is a good place to start for understanding the promotion process.

Risk Dimension promotion is not a typical metadata code promotion, since everything you develop in RD is getting saved in the folder level on the OS.

you would need to copy paste the entire folder to the new environment and compile all your user defined functions and variables, Along with the parameters changed in the configuration data set.

this made us new environment up and running.

Sad part if not much help from SAS Tech support as well :(.

anyways, we found it after banging head adn able to get it through finally 🙂
