Blogging about all things SAS |
SAS ANZ ran a forum in Sydney this month, and had a great turn out with over 1,000 attendies. I didn’t manage to make it but heard it was a great event.
SAS ANZ have put up copies of the papers over on the SAS Forum Australia and New Zealand 2008 conference web site, check them out, there is some good info and highlights on whats comming in 9.2!
I have been doing a bit of research around SAS 9.2, whats coming and when.
There was an interesting presentation over at http://www.sascommunity.org/mwiki/images/3/3c/NewsCorner_SAS_Club_16.pdf which (apart from not being in English) was dated Nov 2007 and outlined a road map for the delivery of 9.2. It outlined:
Ignoring the dates (they have obviously slipped but no official news on how much that I could find) the phasing seems to still be true, with Phase 1 already released.
In trolling around I did manage to find some information on what is being delivered in Phase 2, so I have posted them over on our main site at :
Of course if you were lucky enough to attend SAS Forum 2008 and have anymore information feel free to post a comment with some juicy details.
If you ever need to change the passord for one of the SAS Administrator id’s (i.e. sasadm, sastrust, saswbadm, sassrv, sasdemo etc) then you will find that it is not a simple case of updating the hosts password and metadata passwords.
There are a few more places that you will need to edit.
SAS Tech Support have a document that explains what you need to do - TS736 - Changing Password for Default Users
The doc is orientated towards a solutions based install, but you will need to follow most of the steps, depending on what products you have installed (i.e. Business Intelligence Server, Data Integration Server etc)
As you will see lots of text edits required, but I wont rant about why this shouldn’t be so difficult, here’s hoping SAS 9.2 makes it a little easier…..
