Hi SAS VA experts,
I am working for a bank and currrently created a number of reports and explorations in Developemnt/UAT folder (LASR) and now
I need to copy them to production along with changes to the datasource names(same dataset with production names).
I am doing this manually now ( copying to production folder and linking to production data source) and ought to do 100's of reports and explorations.
I would like to do this via program /script and automate this copying process.Could you please help and let me know your vaulable thoughts on this.
thanks
JP
There are batch import/export tools. See
You should read all of the documentation first. In particular, you will have to look to see if the scripts support changing table names during the process, or if you will have to do that afterwards.

Hi madelyn,
That documentation is for promoting metadata items in sas di studio tool as sas package. But I cannot see such options ,'Export as package' in SAS VA.
Thanks,
Jithesh
Export as Package can be done in SAS Management Console by switching to the Folder Tab then selecting the VA folder your reports are stored in then right click to get the Export as Package option.
The batch tools let you perform promotions from an operating system command line or batch script. The batch import tool and export tools are called ImportPackage
and ExportPackage
. The tools are located in the following path:
SAS-installation-directory/SASPlatformObjectFramework/9.4
