Dashboard Reports

When migrating from SAS Model Manager 2.3 to the latest release SAS Model Manager 12.1, you must manually copy the contents of the dashboard report directory from the source system to the target system.
Note: For information about how to configure the dashboard report directory, see Configuring the Dashboard Reports Directory in SAS Model Manager: Administrator's Guide.
To copy the content of the dashboard report directory from the source system to the target system, follow these steps:
  1. To determine the location of the dashboard report directory on the source system, follow these steps:
    Note: Only a SAS Model Manager administrator can view the dashboard report directory. The SAS Model Manager administrator can also find the location of the dashboard report directory in the app.config file in the \SASConfigDir\Lev#\AnalyticsPlatform\apps\ModelManager\ directory. The property name is application.conf.dashboard.dir.
    1. Log on to SAS Model Manager 2.3 on the source system.
    2. Select Dashboardthen selectSet Dashboard Report Directory
    3. Note the dashboard report directory that is shown in the message dialog box as the source directory path (for example, C:\Dashboard), and then click No.
  2. To determine the location of the dashboard report directory on the target system, follow these steps:
    1. From the SAS Management Console, expand the Application Management node on the Plug-ins tab.
    2. Select and expand Configuration Managerthen selectSAS Application Infrastructure.
    3. Right-click Model Manager JavaSvcs 12.1 and select Properties.
    4. Click the Advanced tab to view the application dashboard report directory.
    5. Note the property value for App.DashboardDir as the target directory path and click Cancel. The default directory that is configured during installation is \SASConfigDir\Lev#\AppData\SASModelManager12.1\Dashboard.
  3. Copy all dashboard SAS data sets from the data subdirectory of the configured dashboard report directory on the source server into .dpo files and put them under a user-specified directory. Run the following code on the SAS Workspace Server in your source system to copy all data set content into a transportation file.
    libname source "SAS-data-library";
    filename tranfile "full-path-tran-file-name";
    proc cport
       library=source
       file=tranfile
       memtype=data
       index=yes;
    run;
    quit;
    
  4. Import all dashboard SAS data sets from the transportation (.dpo) file into the data subdirectory of the configured dashboard report directory on the target server. Run the following code on the SAS Workspace Server in your target system to import the transportation file.
    libname target "SAS-data-library";
    filename tranfile "full-path-tran-file-name";
    proc cimport
        library=target
        file=tranfile
    force;
    run;
    quit;
    
  5. You can either manually copy the existing dashboard reports that are located in the report subdirectory from the source server to the target server, or you can regenerate the dashboard reports using the migrated data sets in SAS Model Manager 12.1.
