SAS, the leader in business analytics software and services, and the largest independent vendor in the business intelligence market, has released Maintenance Release M8 for SAS Software 9.4.
Initial Release of SAS 9.4
The initial release of SAS 9.4 was in 2013. SAS 9.4 includes features that are beneficial to all users at your site.
- For IT departments, SAS 9.4 provides a simplified architecture, increased security (including enhanced encryption algorithms), and deployment options that include running SAS on premises or on a cloud infrastructure.
- For SAS administrators, SAS 9.4 provides a broad suite of management capabilities that support management tasks, auditing, and software deployment and upgrades.
- For data administrators, the integration of the DataFlux products creates a more complete data management solution. Also, additional programming languages enable you to manipulate your data and access relational data from various data sources.
- For SAS programmers, high-performance analytics enable you to quickly analyze large amounts of data. Multi-threading capabilities enable you to perform analyses on single-machine deployments.
- For the business user, SAS 9.4 extends the options for mobile access and self-service options for data access, reporting, and exploration.
Enhancing SAS 9.4 through Maintenance Releases
Over the past several years, SAS 9.4 technology has advanced, and SAS has introduced SAS Viya. Both SAS 9.4 and SAS Viya are part of one SAS platform.
During the SAS 9.4 life cycle, maintenance releases enable us to continue delivering new functionality to our users.
SAS 9.4M8 (January 2023)
Here are some of the highlights in the SAS 9.4M8 release:
- Several SAS products and features have been retired. For a list of retired products, see January 2023 (SAS 9.4, Rev. 940_23w05).
- If you order SAS 9.4M8, these products and features are not included in that order. A best practice is to unconfigure retired SAS products and features before you upgrade and to uninstall them after you upgrade. For more information, see Unconfiguring and Uninstalling Retired Products in SAS Guide to Software Updates and Product Changes.
- Several SAS/ACCESS Interfaces are no longer supported. See SAS/ACCESS.
- SAS 9.4M8 supports Java 11 and PostgreSQL 14.
SAS 9.4 Maintenance Releases are cumulative. The "Introduced" column indicates the SAS 9.4 Maintenance Release in which the issue was first addressed.
