We are running the NZ SAS Users Conference on the 27th, damn missed by a day (and a few timezones) And yes heard that the 9.1 clients were not compatible with 9.2 environment so mandatory desktop upgrade, plus only XP and Vista is supported (and its surprising how many Windows 2000/NT client environments still exist) Also heard that Portal Pages won't be migrated as part of the upgrade, now its a pain in the bum not being able to migrate themn from Dev > UAT > Prod at the moment, but losing them as part of the upgrade is diabolical (somebody from SAS please post that I am wrong here) We have been planning to build a tool to migrate Portal content rolm Dev > UAT > Prod, but wanted to wait to see what was in 9.2. Looks like it might be worth doing ti sooner than later. Thanks for the Info.

We have a number of architectural changes to implement, but more significantly the metadata structure changes on the server, cause a requirement to release client software at the same time, and also we have to migrate 32bit SAS db's to 64bit versions. Managing this through our server environments, and for a large user base will be non-trivial. unofficially – release is going to be Feb 28th.
