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

Downloading the hot fix

1. This hot fix must be installed on each machine where the updated components of the product, listed above, are installed. The installation process will determine which components of SAS Financial Management 5.2_M1 are installed on each machine, and apply the appropriate updates.

2. If the updated components of this product are installed on multiple operating systems, you must download the hot fix for the appropriate operating system(s) and follow the installation instructions provided to complete the deployment of this hot fix.

3. When downloading SAS 9.2 hot fix packages, you must choose to Save the hot fix to disk, then execute the install from the saved location. Attempting to install a hot fix directly from the download page results in the error documented in SAS Note 37104.

4. The installer downloaded is D73034r6.exe.

Prior to executing the hot fix shut down the SAS servers

1. Log on to the WebLogic Server Administration Console at
   http://midtierservername:7501/console

2. On the left side of the screen under Domain Structure, select Environment > Servers

3. Select the Control tab

4. Select SAS Servers 3, 4 and 5 and click Shutdown > Force Shutdown Now > Yes

5. Exit out of the SAS Information Delivery Portal.

Installing the hot fix

1. Verify that the installation binary has execute permission. If it does not, use the chmod command to make it executable.

   $> chmod 755 D73034r6.bin

2. Set your $DISPLAY environment variable

   export DISPLAY=<your_node_name>:0

3. Execute D73034r6.bin with the -alwaysoverwrite option

   <path_to_downloaded_file>/D73034r6.bin -alwaysoverwrite

       For example:

   ./D73034r6.bin -alwaysoverwrite

   
   This will initiate the installation wizard, which will guide you through the hot fix installation process. During the installation you will be prompted for the SASHOME location to be updated. You should provide the path to the top level SAS directory where the deploymntreg directory exists.
