POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Required only for distributed deployments:

As part of the client install, the hot fix installs an executable file called lasr.so that must also be manually copied to the computing appliance. On Linux for x64, this file is installed in <SASHome>>/SASFoundation/9.4/sasexe/lasr.so. This file should be copied under the TKGrid install location on the computing appliance; for example, /opt/TKGrid/lib. When copying the file, make sure the proper mode of 755 is set.

If your computing appliance uses a shared install, you need to copy lasr.so only to the shared location. However, if your computing appliance uses a replicated install, you must copy lasr.so to every node.

Additionally, if the TKGrid installation script to enable sashdat file encryption (TKGrid_SEC_x86_64.sh) has been run on the computing appliance, then you will need to remove the copy of lasr.so from the TKGrid/lib2 location, if it exists. The TKGrid/lib2/lasr.so executable file would need to be removed from all nodes in a replicated install.



This completes the installation of hot fix C8E002 on Linux for x64.
