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.

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

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

  4. This hot fix should be installed using the same userid who performed the initial software installation.

  5. 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.


INSTALLATION

Hot Fix C7T004 must be installed on each machine where the updated components of the product, listed above, are installed. During the installation process you may see references to all operating systems for which updates are provided in the hot fix. The installation process will determine the operating system and which component(s) of SAS Social Network Analysis 6.2_M4 require updating on the machine. See SAS Note 44810 for more details.

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 C7T004pt.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
for example, IT_2011-10-31-13.18.21.log. Each attempt to apply a hot fix results in the creation of a new log file giving detailed information regarding the installation process.

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.

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 

   http://java.com/en/download/help/webcache.xml

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.


This completes the installation of hot fix C7T004 on Linux for x64.
