Change in projects after updating to 7.5

[AK100]

Hi all,

I have a lot of projects running on SAS VA, however our software will be updated soon to 7.5. Do I have to worry that my projects and everything linked to them will NOT work correctly as it used to be after the update? 

Someone experience in this?

Hi!
What do you meen with projects?
Are they reports or code running or something else :)?

They are reports who are linked with SAS Enterprise codes (linked by using LASR tables).

[FredrikE]

Sorry but I am still not really sure what you mean. Do you run stored processes that are linked to each other or just reports using data created with EG?
If the later you most likely wont have any problems, just minor changes to the reports regarding siza and position of objects.

Yes, I was talking about the later. So I wont have any problems. Thank you 🙂

Hi AK100,

I asked around and there shouldn't be any major issue with promoting your content to 7.5.

For some reports, the report will converted each time it is opened in the 7.5 report viewer, which can cause a small delay. The issue is resolved by opening the report in the 7.5 report editor and saving it. I seem to understand that this happens primarily for reports that contain report links.

Let us know how the upgrade goes!

Thanks,

Sam

@Sam_SAS, Thank you I'll let you know how it went. The update is planned for next week.

@Sam_SAS  Hello Sam,

Like I mentioned before I would let you know how the update went. The update went okay, it took some time to open it but that was not the point. When I click 'Edit report' in the viewer I get and Error loading the report. So It seems that I can only check my dashboards on the viewer, I cant edit them. You know anything about it?

I am very sorry to hear that you are getting an error! This was not expected. What does the error say? 

You probably should contact SAS Technical Support to get the quickest solution to your issue.

@Sam_SAS It just says Error loading the report and then the name of the report. I have contacted the SAS Technical support, so I hope to get an answer soon.

@AK100 have you had any luck with Technical Support? I am very interested to know what caused the problem and how it can be resolved.

Thanks,
Sam
