How to Cancel RISK

To cancel a SAS Risk product implementation, you need to follow a series of steps that involve both technical and administrative tasks. Here is a comprehensive guide on how to proceed:

Pre-Cancellation Checks

Before initiating the cancellation, ensure you have the necessary permissions and access to the SAS environment. This includes administrative rights to the SAS Management Console and access to the specific risk management solution you are using.

Stopping Services

To cancel the SAS Risk product, you first need to stop the relevant services:

• Stop the Web application server, SAS servers, and any other related services. This can be done using the instructions provided in the SAS Risk Stratum Cookbook, which details how to start and stop services such as the Web application server and SAS servers.

Terminating Processes

If there are any ongoing processes or jobs, you need to terminate them cleanly. SAS provides several methods to stop processes, including using the stop or abort statement for individual data steps, or generating errors with the errorabend option to cancel the entire SAS session. For more controlled cancellation based on specific conditions, you can use a macro as described in the SAS support documentation.

Unregistering and Removing Data

• Unregister any input data and configuration data associated with the risk management solution. This involves reversing the steps outlined in the SAS Risk Stratum Cookbook, such as unregistering input data and managing data columns.

Configuring Roles and Users

• Remove or modify the roles and capabilities configured for users in the SAS Management Console. This includes configuring individual metadata roles and capabilities or bulk loading roles via the Administrative Management Utility (AMU).

Archiving Support Requests

If there are any open support requests related to the SAS Risk product, ensure they are archived or closed. This involves mutual agreement between the support team and the customer, and all information from the archived case will be preserved according to the SAS Technical Support Policy.

Notification and Refund (If Applicable)

If the cancellation involves contractual or licensing agreements, notify SAS and follow the termination rights detailed on the SAS website. This includes understanding any refund or termination clauses that may apply.

Final Steps

• Document the cancellation process for future reference.
• Ensure all related logs and data are properly archived and accessible if needed in the future.
• Inform all relevant stakeholders about the cancellation and any subsequent actions or alternatives.

By following these steps, you can ensure a comprehensive and orderly cancellation of the SAS Risk product implementation.
