Administration Changes in the 4.31 Release

and enhancements:

promoting portal content from a SAS 9.1.3 environment to a SAS 9.2 or SAS 9.3
environment, the values for certain parameters in this file are modified to ensure that
the appropriate metadata repository ID and the names of the internal accounts for
sasadm and sastrust are specified to prepare the target system.
n An additional upgradeMetadata command is used when promoting a Portal
Application Tree or a portlet instance to a target SAS 9.3 system from a source
system with SAS 9.1.3 or SAS 9.2.
n Message logging is accomplished with logging contexts that are added to the
SASportal-log4j file.
Features Ported from the 4.3 Release
The following enhancements and changes that were introduced in the 4.3 release have
been ported to the 4.31 release:
n Messages that are displayed at the top of pages and in the title bar of portlets can be
hidden by specifying two new properties and their values in SAS Management
Console.
n A content promotion tool is provided. This tool consists of stand-alone batch scripts,
shell scripts, and metadata extraction templates. These scripts and templates use
the metadata server's import and export capabilities to promote portal metadata.
n By default, SAS BI Portlets are displayed with the Flex interface.
