Release That You
Are Upgrading to High-Level Steps and Resources
SAS 9.3 In the November 2010 release of SAS 9.2,
SAS Web OLAP Viewer for Java was
discontinued, and data explorations are now
maintained as reports. When you upgrade your
existing SAS 9.2 deployment, the SAS
deployment tools automatically convert each
bookmark in a data exploration to a report that
you can view in SAS Web Report Studio.
If the automatic conversion fails, a warning
appears in the Instructions.html file. To convert
these data explorations manually, see
“Manually Convert Data Explorations to
Reports” in Chapter 5 of SAS Intelligence
Platform: Migration Guide.
For more information, see “Upgrading to SAS
9.3” on page 284.
If a data exploration was created from an OLAP cube or SAS Information Map that is
saved to a restricted directory (such as My Folder), then the converted report will not be
available to other users at your site. Before converting a data exploration, re-create this
data exploration by using a SAS Information Map. Users of the final report must have
permission to the directory where the information map is saved.
If your data exploration includes a calculated measure that is used as a slicer, this
calculated measure is removed when the data exploration is converted to a report. As a
result, you cannot open the report in SAS Web Report Studio. To avoid this issue, move
the calculated measure to the row or column axis before you convert.
Note: If you have not applied the second or third maintenance release for SAS 9.2,
then you cannot use the SAS Visual Data Explorer to save data explorations as reports.
