			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There is a migration wizard delivered with Enterprise Guide 4,2 (9.2) that enables you to convert your EG projects automatically when you upgrade.</p>
<p>It is a an exe file in your EG 4.2 directory.</p>
<p>This wizard scans the selected EG projects and allows you to do a global replace of Servers, Libraries and External files.</p>
<p>The alternative is to open each EG project and manually change these (or alternatively do a fully automated SAS 9.2 migration, where you dont change any of the server names, libnames or file paths <img src='http://blog.saasinct.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_wink.gif' alt=';-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>So I have found this wizard a bit hit and miss.  Don&#8217;t get me wrong it still saves you time, but I have found instances where it doesnt actually update the EG Projects (normally when trying to convert a lot of projects at once).</p>
<p>Also with project that have a lot of tabs, it sometimes forgets to do one.</p>
<p>Another issue is it changes the libname of a source table, bit if the query saves the result table in a permanent libname (i.e. not work) then it doesn&#8217;t seem to update those ones.</p>
<p>So all fixable and the wizard is better than no wizard, but don&#8217;t under estimated the effort required to convert these projects.</p>
