SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

212 Chapter 36 / SAS Information Delivery Portal
release for the SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.2, you can now enable
unchallenged access. For more information, see “Enabling Unchallenged Portal
Access” in Chapter 10 of SAS Intelligence Platform: Web Application
Administration Guide.
o The Alerts portlet has been renamed the Stored Process Alerts portlet. This
change avoids possible confusion with a new general-purpose alerts portlet that
is included with the SAS Enterprise BI Server package. The behavior of the
Stored Process Alerts portlet has not changed.
o The portal uses a new common logon interface to authenticate users. This
change results in a different logon and logoff flow. For example, by default no
Logon page appears after you log off.
n The following changes affect portlets that have been migrated:
o Due to infrastructure changes to the portal, custom-developed portlets require
code changes. For more information, see Developing Portlets for the SAS
Information Delivery Portal.
o Migrated WebDAV content and the WebDAV graph portlet use a new SAS
Content Server instead of a Xythos WebFile server.
o Migrated navigator portlets might display locations that are no longer
documented. The documentation for the SAS Information Delivery Portal 4.31
describes a SAS Folders tree. The documentation for the SAS Information
Delivery Portal 2.0 described a root-level folder called the BIP Tree.
n The following changes affect SAS Publication Channels:
o Users might need to re-create subscriber profiles and subscriptions for channels
that have been migrated.
o Due to stricter security enforcement, users cannot create subscriber profiles by
default. For a user to create subscriber profiles, an administrator must grant
permissions to the user in SAS Management Console.
o SAS reports cannot be published.
