Migrating a SAS Deployment to Microsoft Windows for x64

Overview

Many customers want to take advantage of 64-bit hardware for metadata-based SAS 9 deployments. These deployments contain Business Intelligence, Data Integration, or Solution products with metadata that is stored by a SAS Metadata Server in a SAS Metadata Repository. This paper discusses the migration of such deployments from 32-bit SAS 9.1.3 (on either 32-bit Windows or Windows for x64) to 64-bit SAS 9.2 (on Windows for x64).
