SAS 9.1.3 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide

182 Prerequisite Actions R Chapter 18
3 Each of the information maps is associated with specific tables. The table
metadata must be promoted along with the information maps in order for the
information maps to function properly. The physical tables must also be promoted,
or must already exist in the target environment.
3 One of the reports is associated with a stored process. The stored process must be
promoted in order for the report to function properly.
3 The stored process is associated with a source code file that is stored on the file
system. For this to be promoted, BI Manager will expect a source code repository
to exist on the target application server.
3 The stored process is associated with a SAS application server and a source code
repository definition. BI Manager will prompt you to establish an association
between the stored process and both an application server and a source code
repository definition in the target environment.
Prerequisite Actions
In the example steps that follow, it is assumed that the following preparatory actions
have already been completed:
3 The following physical items must be created (or already present) in the target
environment:
3 a WebDAV server
3 a file path for the source code file for the stored process
3 physical tables that correspond to the tables in the source environment (or
file paths for these tables, if they are being exported along with the metadata)
3 In SAS Management Console, the library and table metadata must appear in
folders under BI Manager (see “In SAS Management Console, Collect Tables and
Libraries under BI Manager” on page 176). When you use SAS Data Integration
Studio, this requirement does not apply.
3 The following metadata must be created (or already present) in the destination
metadata repository:
3 ACTs that correspond to, and have the same names as, the ACTs in the
source metadata repository
3 user group definitions for the groups that the ACTs refer to
3 a server definition for the WebDAV server
3 an application server definition that includes a stored process server and a
workspace server
3 a source code repository definition
Step 1: Export the Folders and Objects
Follow these steps to export the folders and objects from the source environment.
These steps assume that you have already completed all of the preparatory actions that
are described in the preceding section.
1 Open SAS Management Console, and connect to the source metadata repository
(that is, the repository from which you want to promote the folders and objects).
2 Select the BI Manager node.
Note: In SAS Data Integration Studio, you would select the repository that
contains the objects that you want to export. R
