IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. You must have SAS Environment Manager 2.5_M3 or SAS 9.4M6 installed and configured on your system before applying this hot fix. Refer to SAS KB0036131 for instructions on how to determine which product releases you have installed.

  2. If you are upgrading to SAS Environment Manager 2.5_M3 or SAS 9.4M6, this hot fix should only be applied after the upgrade is complete, including completion of Upgrade Configuration across all configurations. Otherwise, your configuration will fail. In other words, if you follow the normal pattern of upgrade SASHome -> Apply Hot fixes -> perform Update Configuration, this hot fix will fail to apply in this scenario. Instead, you should use the order: SASHome -> perform Update Configuration -> Apply Hot fixes for this hot fix.

  3. 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.

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

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

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

  7. CONFIGURATION: No automatic configuration scripting is included for this hot fix. If you have previously configured software installed, the SAS Deployment Manager may present a screen where you will see "Apply SAS Hot Fixes" and "Configure SAS Hot Fixes" options. On this screen, you must ensure that the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option is *not* selected. If this option is automatically selected, please de-select it prior to proceeding with the SAS Deployment Manager Screens. Failure to do so could have unintended consequences when applying this hot fix.
