POST-INSTALLATION STEPS

SAS Security Updates

SAS Security Updates are applied during the initial installation of your software. In order to maintain the latest level of security offered by SAS, security updates should be applied and/or re-applied after any changes to your software, including installation of hot fixes. The current SAS Security Updates for all releases of SAS are available at https://tshf.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/SAS_Security_Updates.html. Please re-apply security updates in accordance with the SAS Security Updates and Hot Fixes document available on the SAS Security Updates web page.

Update Templates for SAS Management Console

1) Open SAS Management Console
2) Go to Metadata Manager Plug-in
3) Right-click on Active Server
4) Choose Upgrade Metadata
5) Select Yes when prompted to continue. 6) Select OK once the process has completed.
Note: This Upgrade Metadata process only needs to be performed one time for each of the site's metadata server instances
(DEV, TEST, PROD) so each metadata server instance gets the updated templates.

Distributed In-Process Services

To surface updates provided in this hotfix for issue described in 63894 the following applies:
  1. “SAS Distributed In-Process Services Scheduling Server “ is not selected by default as a Scheduler Console action. The panel will have a combo box of available schedulers, with no default setting so a selection must be made in the combo box. A login opportunity will be offered.

  2. Although the Scheduler Console is a part of SASMC, they are NOT meant to be used simultaneously.
    ie.,actions in SASMC Scheduler Manager Plugin and actions in the concurrently open Scheduler Console.

  3. Whenever a change is made in the SAS Scheduler Manager Plugin, you are required to Right click Schedule Manager Plugin -> Clear Scheduler Connections which will trigger a refresh of the flow definitions inside of the Scheduler Console.
    Without this refresh, behavior can become unpredictable due to the fact the Scheduler Console was not designed for concurrent/simultaneous (seeabove) usage with the Schedule Manager Plugin

Restore "sasmc.ini" from Backup
This step ONLY applies if you previously installed Hotfix D8N001.
Hotfix D8N001 was only available for download from February 18, 2019 - February 26, 2019.
If you do not have a folder named mgmtconsole_h6i_9.4_M6_HFD8N001 then you do not need to take further action.

Copy the original sasmc.ini file
FROM:
<SASHOME>/SASManagementConsole/9.4/installs/mgmtconsole_h6i_9.4_M6_HFD8N001/
TO: <SASHOME>/SASManagementConsole/9.4
This step can be done before or after installing this hotfix, D8N019.
NOTE: For addtional information about the steps in this section see SAS Note 63749.
