POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Note that these instructions provide example filenames and directory names based on a Unix deployment; if your deployment is to a different host OS please make the appropriate adjustments.

Web application Update
This hot fix requires steps that will update the web application deployed to your application server.

Step 1: Make sure SASServer8_1 is Stopped
During the installation you should have stopped the SAS servers. As a result SASServer8_1 should be stopped. If not, you need to stop SASServer8_1. For information about stopping and restarting the server, depending on your operating system, see Chapter 6 “Operating Your Servers” in SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.

Step 2: Move the current contents of the SAS Social Network Analysis war
This step allows you to keep a backup copy of any local changes you have made to the war and allows you to roll back changes if needed. Move the following directory and it’s contents to a location outside of the sas_webapps path:

<CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer8_1/sas_webapps/sas.sso.snaserver.war

** Note: The configuration directory, <CONFIGDIR> is described in the section, “Overview of the Configuration Directory Structure” in the SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.

**Note: If you have modified SNA config files, such as those for advanced search/disposition, these changes will be reapplied after the web application gets re-built.

** Note: You may want to rename sas.sso.snaserver.war to something like sas.sso.snaserver.war.backup to make it clear that it is a backup file.

Step 3: Re-build Web Applications
This process will update the SAS Social Network Analysis Mid-Tier ear in

<CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging

A backup of the original ear file will be placed in the Backup directory

<CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging/Backup

In order for this step to execute correctly, the Metadata Server must be running.
**Note: SDM will start it for you if it is not running.

3.1 Invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.4
From the SASDeploymentManager directory launch sasdm.sh. The default installation path for the SAS Deployment Manager is

<SASHOME>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4

**Note: <SASHOME> is defined in Chapter 1 of the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User's Guide

3.2 Select a language in the Choose Language box

3.3 Select Rebuild Web Applications

3.4 Select Configuration Directory or Enter the Configuration Directory and Level that needs to be updated

3.5 Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password

3.6 Select SAS Social Network Analysis 6.2 Product Configuration and SAS Social Network Analysis Mid-Tier Product Name and select Next

3.7 Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start

3.8 Select Finish when the deployment is complete

Step 4: Copy files and directories from the exploded ear directory to the SAS Social Network Analysis deployment area.

4.1 Locate sas.sso.snaserver.war in the exploded war directory for SAS Social Network Analysis Server:

<CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.socialnetworkanalysis6.2.ear/sas.sso.snaserver.war

4.2 Copy the sas.sso.snaserver.war from the exploded ear directory (above) to the SAS Social Network Analysis Server deployment within SASServer8.

For example, copy

sas.sso.snaserver.war

from
<CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded/sas.socialnetworkanalysis6.2.ear
to
<CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer8_1/sas_webapps

Step 5: Delete the work directory in SASServer8_1

rm -rf <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer8_1/work

Step 6: Delete the contents of the temp directory in SASServer8_1

rm -rf <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer8_1/temp/*

Step 7: Clear your browser cache
Please follow the instructions at the following link to clear your browser cache

Step 8: Reapply any local changes
In step 2 you moved your old contents of the SAS Social Network Analysis war to a safe location. That war included any modifications you may have made to SNA config files. You now need to copy those changes from your old war directory to the new war directory.

Step 9: Restart SAS Servers
For information about stopping and restarting the server, depending on your operating system, see Chapter 6 “Operating Your Servers” in SAS 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide.
