Hi SASKiwi,   I too have the same scenario. SAS Catalog are created by user and stored centrally using 9.1.3 and 9.2 version (there are few created with 8.2 as well). We are doing a fresh deployment of SAS 9.4 M5 in Linux x64 (RHEL 7.5).    Please clarify if the below approach is correct or kindly suggest alternate: -   1. Identify the catalogs which needs to be migrate from source destination folder, 2. Prepare a Cport procedure to create a intermediate transport file.  3. FTP the file to target destination using binary mode. 4. Prepare a CImport procedure to extract the catalogs in the destination directory. 5. Quick sanity check using Proc Compare to compare the entries. ... View more

Backups are super important for situations like this. I'd raise a support track.

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 ... View more

@Kurt_Bremser is mentioning AIX commands here, but SPDS security is held within the application, not in the OS. But it is the same concept I would say. Check the SPDS user group membership on source and target for both users. Then check what ACL settings are in effect for your data sets (again, compare source and target environments). ... View more

It might be that some data sets are out of bounds for some users.   ... View more

When you say data files "are getting migrated successfully," what are you using to migrate?   PROC MIGRATE can migrate your indexes and most other library members and attributes.   If you have access to a SAS/CONNECT or SAS/SHARE server, PROC MIGRATE can also migrate the catalogs.    See PROC MIGRATE. ...

PROC DOWNLOAD supports recreation of indexes, but behaviour depend on how you are using the OUT=, DATA= and INDEX = options. https://documentation.sas.com/?docsetId=connref&docsetTarget=n01xxs4f7yb4cln188odwmewp98x.htm&docsetVersion=9.4&locale=en#n0y1aj2ak4zismn1h0lpo16ystwh ... View more

@vijayanand  There is no CDC for SAS tables. You would need to implement fully blown ETL delta processing which is nothing you can just do on-the-fly as an intermediary measure. Best you can do is to compress/zip your data before transferring from source to target - but you will still need to transfer the whole file.   ...or: Any chance to map the file system used by the old server also to the new server as an intermediary measure?     ...
