SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

Changes to Note Before You Upgrade to SAS Data Integration Studio 4.3 137
n Any pre-3.4 versions of the Table Loader transformation and the SQL Join
transformation are replaced with the latest versions of these transformations. After
migration, jobs with converted transformations should provide the same output as
before.
n Any job whose process flow included a separate Report transformation, such as
Correlations Report and Frequency Report, no longer has that transformation in the
process flow. The need for separate Report transformations has been eliminated.
After migration, jobs that used to require the Report transformations should produce
the same output as before.
n All jobs that were deployed for scheduling or were deployed as stored processes
should be redeployed in the SAS 9.3 environment. From the SAS Data Integration
Studio desktop, select Tools � Redeploy Jobs for Scheduling or Tools �
Redeploy Jobs to Stored Processes.
n Any job that was deployed as a Web service in SAS Data Integration Studio 3.4
appears in the Stored Process folder of the Inventory tree, not the Web service
(generated) folder. This special type of stored process can be used as before.
n The DataFlux IS Job transformation is now called the DataFlux Batch Job
Transformation. The DataFlux IS Service transformation is now called the DataFlux
Data Service transformation. For other changes related to these transformations,
see Chapter 27, “Working with Data Quality Transformations,” in SAS Data
Integration Studio: User's Guide.
Migrate Content Stored outside the SAS
Configuration Directory
Some metadata objects specify paths to physical files. If these files are stored outside of
the directories that are part of the standard migration process, then you must manually
migrate the files. If a file on the target computer has a different physical path than the
file had on the source computer, then any migrated metadata that points to that file has
to be updated to point to the new location.
For example, the metadata for a transformation within a job can point to a file that
contains source code. If the file is stored outside of the SAS configuration directory, the
