file will not be moved during the standard migration process. If you execute the job after
migration, an error will appear in the SAS log, saying that the transformation could not
access the source code file. To fix the problem, use the operating system tools to copy
the source code file to the target computer, preserving the directory structure, if
possible. Then run the job again. If the transformation fails, review the physical path to
the file and either change the path on the file system or update the metadata that points
to the file.
Similarly, if the metadata for an external file points to a file that is stored outside of the
SAS configuration directory, the file will not be moved during the standard migration
process. If you right-click the metadata for the external file and select Open, a file
does not exist error displays. To fix the problem, manually migrate the file to the
target computer and complete the steps described earlier for transformations.
The metadata for a deployed job, such as a job that has been deployed for scheduling,
points to a file that contains the code for the job. If you migrate the metadata for a
deployed job, and the metadata is pointing to a file that does not exist in the target
environment, then the deployed job will fail. To fix the problem, manually migrate the file
to the target computer and complete the steps described earlier for transformations.
However, if the path to the source code files in the target environment cannot be the
same as the path was in the old environment, you must update the directory definition in
the target environment, and then reschedule all flows that include jobs that use the
updated deployment directory definition.
To update directory definitions in the target environment:
1 In SAS Management Console, right-click Schedule Manager and select
Deployment Directories.
2 Edit any outdated deployment directory definitions so that they point to the location
where you moved the source code files.
To identify jobs that use an updated deployment directory definition:
1 In SAS Management Console, right-click Schedule Manager and select Manage
Deployed Jobs.
2 In the Manage Deployed Jobs window, right-click the job and select Properties.
