After SAS had finished the install we manually converted the relevant metadata etc.

We then used the EG Migration Wizard (more on this in another post) and then tried to run the project.

Code that used to run fine in SAS 9.1 gave an error like this in SAS 9.2:

ERROR:  Read Access Violation In Task [ SQL ]
Exception occurred at (032F94F6)
Task Traceback

After applying the hotfix here: http://support.sas.com/kb/37/012.html  to the server it ran fine.
