The video provides a detailed overview of SAS Content Assessment and its applications, particularly in facilitating the migration of SAS 9.4 deployments to SAS Viya. SAS Content Assessment offers tools for compatibility analysis, optimization, and migration modifications, delivering results through SAS Visual Analytics and supporting the export and import of SAS 9.4 content to Viya. Configuration requires two main files: `metaparms.SAS` and `setenv.yaml`. Key tools include `PublishAssessedContent` for data preparation and `ImportAssessedContent` for data importation into Viya.
The video highlights the Profile feature for detailed content usage reports and the Code Check tool for assessing program compatibility, identifying unsupported code elements, and evaluating physical path changes necessary for migration. Tools like the Gather SAS Code assist in comprehensive assessments, while SAS 9 Application Usage, SummarizeSASLogSteps, and previewAssessedContent aid in understanding usage patterns and preparing for migration without immediate data loading into Viya.
Further, the video covers the requirements for running these tools, such as SAS 9.4 and GRE 1.7 or higher environments, and describes various import tools tailored for different project types and file formats. The modifySASCode tool, which updates hardcoded paths for seamless Viya integration, is also emphasized. Overall, the video underscores the importance of consulting detailed documentation and additional resources for practical guidance on using Content Assessment tools.

In this segment of the video, an overview of SAS Content Assessment and its applications is provided. SAS Content Assessment assists users in understanding and preparing SAS 9.4 deployments for migration to SAS Viya. It includes tools for analyzing compatibility, optimization, and necessary modifications. It delivers reports via SAS Visual Analytics and is updated monthly. Additionally, Content Assessment features applications for exporting SAS 9.4 content and importing it to SAS Viya. The video also outlines general system requirements and command-line operation essentials for these applications.

In this part of the video, the presenter explains the configuration and usage of the Content Assessment application. Two main configuration files are essential—`metaparms.SAS` for source metadata server connection information and `setenv.yaml` for application-wide settings. The video discusses utility applications including `PublishAssessedContent`, which aggregates and prepares data for reporting, and `ImportAssessedContent`, which imports data into the Viya platform for report access. The segment highlights the inventory application, which scans and documents the type and volume of content in the SAS 9.4 system, providing details on deployment, license info, and counts of reports, jobs, and processes.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a series of tools and reports related to SAS 9.4 content migration to SAS Viya. The Profile feature provides detailed reports on SAS content, including task usage in Enterprise Guide (EG) projects and transforms in Di Studio jobs. These reports also assess the likelihood of successful migration for individual content items. Code Check evaluates program compatibility with SAS Viya, identifying unsupported code elements and restrictions, such as PROC METADATA or LASR LIB, which are flagged for re-evaluation or reconfiguration. Additionally, Code Check highlights physical path changes required for migration and examines internationalization issues, focusing on elements like embedded strings and locale-sensitive formats, essential for UTF-8 compatibility in SAS Viya. The Gather SAS Code tool assists by extracting SAS code from various sources to facilitate comprehensive assessment with Code Check.

In this segment of the video, the usage and functionalities of several SAS applications and tools related to SAS 9.4 and Viya environments are discussed. Key points include SAS 9 Application Usage, which counts users utilizing SAS workspace servers and helps identify usage patterns. SummarizeSASLogSteps analyzes SAS logs to understand CPU and real-time usage, aiding in migration preparation. The previewAssessedContent application enables results extraction into CSV files, bypassing the need to load data into Viya and CAS environments. This is supported by Inventory and Code Check. The segment also covers Content Assessment applications facilitating migration processes through detailed reports and CSV file exports for EG projects and Data Integration jobs. Finally, it explains the functionality of export tools like createSASPackages, which generates SAS package files from job lists in CSV files, and other tools like createFARPackages and createEMBatchCode for different SAS environments.

In this segment of the video, the speaker details the requirements for the environment to run migration tools, emphasizing the necessity of a 9.4 environment and GRE 1.7 or higher, with both the Middle-Tier and Content Server installed. Various tools for importing projects into SAS Viya are discussed, including importEGProjects for EG projects, importSASPackages for SPK files, importFARPackages for Forecast Server archives, and importSASGridPackages. The need to modify hardcoded paths in SAS code for Viya implementation is addressed using the modifySASCode application, which updates paths based on a mapping file. This tool is essential for ensuring the updated code runs smoothly in the Viya environment. The segment concludes by mentioning the support available for Content Assessment on the SAS website and references additional YouTube videos that provide practical demonstrations of these tools.
