INSTALLATION

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 Risk Management for Banking 3.1 are installed on each machine, and apply the appropriate updates.

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.

The installer downloaded is E29003sx.bin.

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.

To install 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 E29003sx.bin
2. Set your $DISPLAY environment variable
export DISPLAY=<your_node_name>:0
3. Execute E29003sx.bin
<path_to_downloaded_file>/E29003sx.bin
    For example:
./E29003sx.bin

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.

See the Maintenance Install Tool (MIT) Usage Guide for more details on the installation of hot fixes.

This completes the installation of E29003. You must perform any "Post-Installation Instructions" documented below to successfully complete the deployment of this hot fix.

Follow the steps below to regenerate the Solution Data Mart (SDM):

  1. Locate the create_solution_data_mart.sas file in your install: in a typical install, the macro resides under SASHOME/misc/rmbcomnsvr/solution_data_mart
  2. Open the create_solution_data_mart.sas file in a BASE SAS session on the installation server (where the SAS code resides)
  3. Scroll to the bottom of the macro file and comment out the following line:
    %create_solution_data_mart(soln_data_mart_dir=&sysparm);
  4. Compile the macro in the SAS session by clicking the Submit button on the menu
  5. After successful compilation, execute the following macro below:
    %create_solution_data_mart(soln_data_mart_dir=<complete path to indata directory in your install>);
    Example of indata path: <CONFIGDIR>/AppData/SASRiskManagementForBanking/2.1/indata
  6. Check the SAS log for successful execution of the preceeding macro.

    In addition, complete the following for any existing playpens that use private entity data marts, or for any shared entity data marts.

  7. Login to Risk Management for Banking 3.1
  8. Select File > Select Entity, choose an entity from the list, and click OK.
  9. Re-create any private playpens or the shared data mart for that entity.
    If you are re-creating a playpen that uses a private entity data mart, select File > Manage Playpens from the menu, and for each playpen you are re-creating, follow instructions for creating a playpen that uses a private entity data mart. Any private playpens created prior to the re-creation of the solution data mart cannot receive updates that have been applied to the solution data mart.

    If you are re-creating a shared entity data mart, select File > Manage Shared Data Mart from the menu, and click Change to update the existing shared data mart. (Playpens that use the shared data mart do not require re-creation.)
  10. Repeat steps 8 and 9 for each Entity

    The following steps update sample data in SAS Risk Reporting Repository - RRR:

  11. Back up the location where current RRR data reside
  12. Follow the instruction of sample reporting data creation in the Create SAS Risk Reporting Repository Sample Data section on page 63 of the SAS Risk Management for Banking 3.1 Administrator’s Guide. Note user can now specify location and mode (OVERWRITE or APPEND) directly in the call of the "rmb_batch_create_rrr_sample_data" instead of the steps 3 and 4 in the original instruction.


This completes the installation of hot fix E29003 on Solaris for x64.
