Upgrading SPD Server 3.x to SPD Server 4.5

Overview of Upgrading

SPD Server 3.x tables are not compatible with SPD Server 4.5. If you want to use your
SPD Server 3.x tables with SPD Server 4.5, you must first convert your SPD Server 3.x
tables.For more information about converting SPD Server 3.x tables for use with SPD
Server 4.5, see

Upgrading SPD Server 4.4 to SPD Server 4.5

SPD Server 4.x tables are compatible with SPD Server 4.5. No conversion is required to
use SPD Server 4.x tables with SPD Server 4.5. You can start SPD Server 4.5 using domains
that include tables created by any SPD Server 4.x host.

Installing and Configuring SPD Server Clients

SPD Server client software makes SAS LIBNAME connections and performs user-specific
functions on the SPD Server host. SPD Server client software is installed with SAS 9.2. It
contains the following SAS modules:
•

The SPD Server client software is installed with SAS 9.2 Foundation at
\SASFoundation\9.2\spdclient
includes your SPD Server client software directory in its required path list.
Once the SPD Server environment is configured and running, you need to complet other
installation functions on the SAS clients that will use SPD Server. This might include the
system that is actually running SPD Server. Therefore, some of these steps might have
already been performed during installation of the SPD Server host. If so, skip the duplicated
steps.
SPD Server media contains SAS client software modules for SAS 9.2 installations on
Solaris by Sun, AIX by IBM, and HP-UX by Hewlett-Packard. Perform the following steps
on each SAS client that will access SPD Server:
1. If you want to access SPD Server through a registered port (named service), add the
