Great blog, Gerry. Thanks! My team lead discovered this today and shared it with us. I like the "new house" analogy.

I found that the link to the migration guide (first bullet), however, points to the SAS 9.4 Guide to Software Updates doc instead of the correct one which is-

SAS® 9.4 Intelligence Platform: Migration Guide, Second Edition
https://go.documentation.sas.com/?cdcId=bicdc&cdcVersion=9.4&docsetId=bimig&docsetTarget=titlepage.htm&locale=en

Just wanted to let you know.

Thanks,
Bishal
