PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Before applying this hot fix, follow the instructions in SAS Note 35968 to generate a SAS Deployment Registry report, then verify that the appropriate product releases are installed on your system. The software components and release numbers should match the list of software components updated by the individual hot fix installers.

  2. Backup the entire SAS Human Capital Management 5.1 system, all tiers. This will entail stopping all SAS sessions, daemons, spawners, and servers. Instructions for using the Metadata Backup Wizard can be found in the SAS 9.2 Intelligence Platform - System Administration Guide in Part 4, Chapter 10. The easiest method is to use the Backup Wizard, but if this method is to be used, it is imperative to ensure that the appropriate User Credentials are used. Chapters 9 - 11 cover all of the methods for metadata backup.

    If there are problems backing up the metadata, open a Technical Support Track with the Metadata Support Team.
