The physical files and
folders that make up a SAS Enterprise Miner project can be numerous
and complicated in structure. When moving the project files, the
hierarchy of folders and files needs to be maintained. If you are
migrating to an operating system with a different word size (32-bit
to 64-bit), a different locale or encoding, or different byte order,
you need to convert the SAS Enterprise Miner project files to a format
compatible with your new operating system.
On the previous system,
the EM_MigrateProject macro can be used to prepare SAS Enterprise
Miner project directories and files for movement between different
operating environments. For example, moving SAS Enterprise Miner projects
to or from 32-bit and 64-bit systems (such as moving from Windows
Server 2003 32-bit environment to a Windows Server 2008 64-bit environment)
requires the EM_MigrateProject macro. If you are changing to a system
with a different locale and encoding from your previous system, you
need the EM_MigrateProject macro. If you are changing from one operating
system to a different SAS Enterprise Miner supported operating systems,
such as moving HP-UX files to a Red Hat Linux operating environment,
the EM_MigrateProject macro is needed.
On the new system, the
EM_MigrateProject macro restores prepared projects to a usable form
after the directories and files are moved to the new system. The EM_MigrateProject
macro and its user’s guide are available from the SAS Technical
Support’s Download site,

Information about migrating
your other SAS files to a new system is available in the SAS System
Help under Strategies for Moving and Accessing SAS Files.
