This hot fix requires that your software must already be configured prior to installation. If no configuration directory exists at the time of installation, security updates built into this hot fix will not be completed, leaving your software in a vulnerable state.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. You must have SAS Web Application Server 9.43 installed on your system before applying this hot fix. Refer to SN-35968 for instructions on how to determine which product releases you have installed.

  2. 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.

  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.

  6. CONFIGURATION: No automatic configuration scripting is included for this hot fix. If you have previously configured software installed, the SAS Deployment Manager may present a screen where you will see "Apply SAS Hot Fixes" and "Configure SAS Hot Fixes" options. On this screen, you must ensure that the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option is *not* selected. If this option is automatically selected, please de-select it prior to proceeding with the SAS Deployment Manager Screens. Failure to do so could have unintended consequences when applying this hot fix.

POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

IMPORTANT NOTE: If your SAS Web Server is configured for TLS, you will need to install the latest Java 7 Update. Please visit the Updates for Java 7 download page for the latest available updates.

Upgrade-in-place installations or update existing configuration in SAS Deployment Manager:

Due to changes in the xml files during upgrade-in-place scenarios, the SAS Deployment Manager will show a failure during the upgrade of existing configuration for SAS Web Application Server after this hot fix has been applied. In a clustered configuration, this failure could happen on the primary machine and all cluster nodes. When this occurs, leave the SAS Deployment Manager running and use a separate session to make the following change:

  1. For SASServer1, navigate to <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer1_?/conf/Catalina/localhost/

    NOTE: The '?' in SASServer1_? can be an integer starting from 1 in a configuration with vertical cluster nodes. If you have custom server names, the server instance names should end with 1_?.

  2. Edit the SASWorkflowServices.xml file as follows:
    Change

    <ResourceLink global="sas/jms/QueueConnectionFactory" name="jms/QueueConnectionFactory" type="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"/>

    to

    <ResourceLink global="sas/jms/QueueConnectionFactory" name="jms/QueueConnectionFactory" type="javax.jms.ConnectionFactory"/>

  3. Once this change has been made, return to the SDM and click the retry button. This should allow the SDM to complete the upgrade configuration task.



This completes the installation of hot fix B1C002 on HP-UX IPF.
