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 release number information in the Registry report should match the 'member' release number information provided above for the software components installed on each machine in your deployment.

The hot fix downloaded, E88007pt.zip, includes the updates required for all components listed above on all applicable operating systems. To apply this hot fix on multiple machines, you can either save E88007pt.zip on each machine or save it in a network location that is accessible to all machines.

Do NOT extract the contents of E88007pt.zip. The hot fix installation process will extract the contents as needed.

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. Files delivered in this hot fix will be backed up during the installation process. However, it is good general practice to back up your system before applying updates to software.

2. You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.

3. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix.

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

5. If you use SAS Marketing Automation integrated with SAS Marketing Optimization, you should apply both the Marketing Automation and corresponding Marketing Optimization hot-fix to your system, at the same time. This is needed as Marketing Optimization consumes a jar file from Marketing Automation, and these jar files need to synchronized. Without the correct jar file in place for Marketing Optimization, communication between the two products might not function correctly. You might receive serialization errors due to the API signature being out of date. At times, there may be a delay in the corresponding Marketing Optimization hot-fix being made available, but we would recommend waiting to install both hot-fixes together. Contact Technical Support for further details.

6. If you use SAS Marketing Operations Management (MOM) integrated with SAS Marketing Automation please call SAS Technical Support prior to installing this hotfix. The SAS Marketing Operations Management Integration Web-Services consume a jar file from SAS Marketing Automation, and these jar file need to be synchronized. Without the correct jar file in place for MOM the two products might not function correctly. You might receive serialization errors due to the API signature being out of date.

   At times, there may be a delay in the corresponding Marketing Operations Management hot-fix being made available, but we would recommend waiting to install both hot-fixes together.

INSTALLATION

The hot fix will be applied using the SAS Deployment Manager (SDM). By default, the SDM will search in the <SASHOME>\InstallMisc\HotFixes\New directory for hot fixes to be applied, but will also prompt for a location if you have downloaded hot fixes to a different directory.

After downloading E88007pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.3: User’s Guide.

The hot fix installation process generates the log file

<!SASHOME>\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\IT_date-and-time-stamp.log

Postexec log files are created after the installation is completed and identifies the files that were added, backed up, changed and removed. These log files include the ‘member’ hot fix id in the name of the file and are also written to the <!SASHOME>\InstallMisc\InstallLogs directory. There is one postexec log for each ‘member’ hot fix applied (member hot fixes are listed at the top of these instructions).

The content of this hot fix is listed in the hot fix manifest.
