POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

After installing this hotfix, you must restart the SAS Analytics Platform server so that changes in the SAS Forecast Server are incorporated into this component.

Restarting in a Windows Environment
To restart the SAS Analytics Platform server in a Window environment, use one of these methods:
- From the Start menu, select Programs, SAS, SAS Configuration, Config-Lev, Analytics Platform Server - Start
- At a command prompt, navigate to the SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\AnalyticsPlatform directory and type
  AnalyticsPlatform.bat start
Note: When you initially installed SAS, you might have selected Windows options: run as managed scripts or services in the SAS Deployment Wizard. If you selected this option, then the SAS Analytics Platform is run as a Windows Service. Generally, you can start the service by using the Services window. However, the first time that you restart the server after installing a hotfix, you must use either the Start menu or a command prompt. If you restart the server from the Services window, then the SAS Analytics Platform does not pick up the updates in the SAS Forecast Server. After you have restarted the server from either the Start menu or at a command prompt once, the next time that you restart the server you can again use the Services window.
Restarting in a UNIX Environment
To restart the SAS Analytics Platform server:
1. Verify that your X server is running and is available.
2. At the UNIX prompt, navigate to the directory where the SAS Analytics Platform server is configured. Usually, this directory is SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/AnalyticsPlatform
3. If the SAS Analytics Platform server is currently running, type
  ./AnalyticsPlatform.sh stop
4. To start the SAS Analytics Platform server, type
  ./AnalyticsPlatform.sh start

NOTE
For customers running Forecast Studio as Java Web Start, you must uninstall the Forecast Server from the Java Web Start cache. This can be done by issuing the command
javaws -uninstall

This completes the installation of hot fix E54003 on Windows.
