Five strategies to eliminate passwords from your SAS programs

SAS 9.2 Mid Tier Support for Windows 2008 R2
To date I had avoided Windows 2008 R2 because, until recently, it was not supported for the SAS 9.2 Mid Tier. I had read in SAS Installation Note 36616: SAS® 9.1.3 Service Pack 4 and SAS® 9.2 support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 that support for 2008 R2 was coming with the release of the […]

Farewell to the SAS 9.2 Replication Wizard
It looks like the SAS® 9.2 Replication Wizard has recently been deprecated. I spotted a new SAS usage note about it the other day: Usage Note 40834: The Replication Wizard in SAS® 9.2 has been deprecated. The Replication Wizard is, or perhaps I should now say was, a feature available in the SAS 9.2 Management […]
