(mI' grAt) v.t.&i.
1. to replace one SAS release with another; especially, to replace an older SAS release with the latest SAS release.
2. to move data from one SAS release to another; especially, to move data from an older SAS release to the latest SAS release, making any needed changes in the data file formats and any associated programs.
When you migrate a SAS site, you upgrade the software and implement it among the people who use it. The existing installation is the source, and the new, upgraded installation is the target. You might also upgrade the computer platform as part of the migration.
Migrating a file is a more specific usage. When you migrate a data set, you move or copy the data set from source to target. But more important, in addition to moving it, you change the file format so that you can fully exploit the capabilities of SAS®9.
