IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Files delivered in this hot fix will be backed up during the installation process. However, it is good general practice to back up your system before applying updates to software. In particular for this hot fix, it is important to back up Regulatory Reporting Data Point Model tables (PostgreSQL or Oracle) and the associated SAS metadata objects prior to applying this hot fix.

2. This hot fix will drop some existing Regulatory Reporting Data Point Model tables and create tables with new DDL as per latest EBA specifications. After this hot fix is installed, it is mandatory to apply SAS® Regulatory Content for EBA Taxonomies v08.2017 Content Release to be able to use the Packages functionality in SAS® Risk and Finance Workbench.

3. You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.

4. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix.

5. This hot fix should be installed using the same user id, who performed the initial software installation.

6. CONFIGURATION: This hot fix requires scripting to automatically reconfigure your SAS Risk and Finance Workbench 2.3 software after the hot fix has been applied. For this particular hot fix, the "Apply Hot Fix" and "Configure SAS Hot Fix" must be run in separate steps. You must first apply the hot fix without selecting the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option. After the hot fix has been successfully applied, you need to start all the SAS servers. After the services have started, run the SAS Deployment Manager again and select "Configure SAS Hot Fix" only.

   Note: This hot fix should *not* be applied using the "-silenthotfix" command line option

INSTALLATION

The hot fix will be applied using the SAS Deployment Manager. By default, the SAS Deployment Manager will search in the <SASHOME>/InstallMisc/HotFixes/New directory for hot fixes to be applied, but will also prompt for a location if you have downloaded hot fixes to a different directory.

After downloading A4G006pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User's Guide.

Please review the CONFIGURATION Important Note above concerning proper selection of the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option in the SAS Deployment Manager.

The hot fix installation process generates the log file

<!SASHOME>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs/IT_date-and-time-stamp.log

Postexec log files are created after the installation is completed and identifies the files that were added, backed up, changed and removed. These log files include the ‘member’ hot fix id in the name of the file and are also written to the <!SASHOME>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs directory. There is one postexec log for each ‘member’ hot fix applied (member hot fixes are listed at the top of these instructions).

The content of this hot fix is listed in the hot fix manifest.
