Blogging about all things SAS

Had a tipoff from a regular support.sas.com user that there is now a few SPM 5.1 guides and usage notes now on the site.

So is SPM 5.1 released?

I haven’t seen any announcements, but then again I might have missed it.

Here are the docs I have found so far:

• Installation Instructions–Release 5.1 of the SAS Performance Management Solutions
  Installation Instructions for Release 5.1 of the SAS® Performance Management Solutions Copyright Notice The correct bibliographic citation for this manual is as follows: SAS Institute Inc., Installation Instructions …

  http://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/en/ikfmofrii/63034/PDF/default/install.pdf, 433KB
  

• 37794 – Post-migration steps required for SAS® Strategy Management
  The SAS Demo User account must be modified in the SASSDM in order for that user to be able to access SAS Strategy Management content.

Let me know if you know.

Setting up SAS Share to enable you to Import and Export ABM models is one of those things that always seems to be a bit tricky to get working.

I found a public doc on the old ABC Tech support site here, that explains the steps. I have also cut and paste the content below in case the doc disappears.

One thing to note is that if you have two SAS servers wanting to talk via this SAS Share link (i.e one with SAS ABM and the other with SAS DI or EG etc) you need to make sure the SAS Share names are identical on both servers or it wont work!

Oh and don’t forget that you need SAS Share OLEDB client on every PC that wants to export/import. You can install this from the SAS ABM Client install page on your ABM Webserver.
