HOT FIX COMPONENT HISTORY

IMPORTANT NOTES

1. It is strongly recommended that you install hot fixes in a non-production environment and test *before* installing them in production.
2. The POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION sections are *not* optional. These steps must be reviewed and performed where applicable for all hot fix installations. Any questions on these steps should be directed to support before you begin the installation.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Create a Deployment Registry report on each server:
   

   Before applying this hot fix, follow the instructions in SAS Note 35968 to generate a SAS Deployment Registry report on each server in your environment.

   Commands to create the report:
   1. cd <SASHome>/deploymntreg
   2. <JAVA_HOME>/bin/java -jar sas.tools.viewregistry.jar
      

   Two files are created: DeploymentRegistry.txt and DeploymentRegistry.html. Either of these files can be used to verify that the appropriate product releases are installed on your system. The release number information in the Deployment Registry report should match the 'member' release number provided above for the software components installed on each machine in your deployment. In addition, you can determine the current hot fix level by comparing the HOT FIX COMPONENT HISTORY chart above with the hot fix entries in the Deployment Registry report.

2. Backups:  Full backups are required. The backups will be needed to roll-back this hot fix installation should an issue occur.

   Backup the following on each Server:

   1. <SASHOME> directory
   2. <CONFIGDIR> directory
   3. Database(s) that will be updated by this hot fix. Review the POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: DATA TIER section to determine if there are database updates.

   For a detailed list of updated files, see the hot fix manifest.  NOTE: The manifest is cumulative for all hot fixes for this release.

3. Stop SAS Fraud Management Servers and Processes:
   1. Stop the OnDemand Decision Engine (ODE) server(s).
      $ cd <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Applications/SASFraudManagement/6.1/<Auth-Domain>/engine/Server<n>/bin
      $ ./ose.sh stop
   2. Stop the Transactional Analysis Server (TAS).
      $ cd <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Applications/SASFraudManagement/6.1/<Auth-Domain>/analysis/bin
      $ ./tas.sh stop
   3. All batch jobs and processes running against the SAS FM databases should be stopped.
   4. All rule estimations should be stopped.
4. Stop SAS Servers:
   Stop the SAS servers using the sas.servers script located in <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1 directory:

   $ ./sas.servers stop
   

SERVER INSTALLATION

1. Important:  Install this hot fix using the same userid who performed the initial software installation.
2. Install the hot fix using the SAS Deployment Manager (SDM):
   

   Hot Fix F6R007 must be installed on each machine where the updated components of the product, listed above, are installed.

   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. Do NOT extract the contents of   F6R007pt.zip into the selected directory. The hot fix installation process will extract the contents as needed.

   After copying F6R007pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User's Guide.

   For example:

   1. Set the DISPLAY environment variable, for example

      $ export DISPLAY=<displayname>:0

   2. From the SASDeploymentManager directory execute sasdm.sh

      $ cd <SASHOME>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4
      $ ./sasdm.sh

      Important: The SAS Deployment Manager will present a screen with two options: "Apply SAS hot fix" and "Configure SAS hot fix" On this screen, you must ensure that the "Configure SAS hot fix" option is *not* selected before continuing.

   Notes:

   • If this hot fix has been previously installed, use the -reinstallhotfix option:

     $ ./sasdm.sh -reinstallhotfix

   • If friendly fixes have been previously installed or manual file updates have been made in <SASHOME>, use the -alwaysoverwrite option to ensure that those files are overwritten by the SDM:

     $ ./sasdm.sh -alwaysoverwrite

   The hot fix installation process generates the log file

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

   For example, IT_2021-05-28-11.00.31.log. Each attempt to apply a hot fix results in the creation of a new log file giving detailed information regarding the installation process.

   Postexec log files are created after the installation is complete. These log files identify 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).

6.1M0 HF6	Steps for upgrade from 6.1M0 HF6 to HF7 There are no custom steps for the server tier to upgrade from 6.1M0 HF6 to 6.1M0 HF7.

POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS: DATA TIER

1. Execute SAS Fraud Management DBMS Package to Update the Databases
   1. The following table describes the database changes for each hot fix. The DBMS script for each database will examine the current state of the database and apply the required changes for the all previous hot fixes and the current hot fix.

      Vendor	Database	Hot fix	Updates
      PostgreSQL	MEH	HF1	Authorizations are added to the static partition tables.
      Oracle	TDR	HF1	Peformance improvements are made to the DECODE_BASE64_SIGNATURE function.
      Oracle	SOR	HF4	Delete fmx_me_phone entry, loaded by default that is a space.
      PostgreSQL	SOR	HF4	Support for SAMS for PostgreSQL. Delete fmx_me_phone entry, loaded by default that is a space.
      PostgreSQL	TDR	HF4	Support for SAMS for PostgreSQL.
      PostgreSQL DB2 Oracle	SOR	HF6	Support for 6000 rule slots.
      PostgreSQL DB2 Oracle	TDR	HF6	Support for 6000 rule slots.

   2. As the SAS installation user, log on to the server where the SAS Fraud Management Data Services component is installed.
   3. Change to the <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Applications/SASFraudManagement/6.1/<Auth-Domain>/dbms/bin directory.
   4. (Optional) To preview the SQL for the changes that will be applied to each database, run the following commands:

      $ ./mehddl.sh preview
      $ ./sorddl.sh preview
      $ ./tdrddl.sh preview

   5. Run the database update scripts. Check each log for errors. By default, the logs are in <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Applications/SASFraudManagement/6.1/<Auth-Domain>/dbms/logs directory.

      $ ./mehddl.sh update
      $ ./sorddl.sh update
      $ ./tdrddl.sh update

      Notes:
      • You can run all three <db>ddl.sh scripts whether there are database changes or not. The DBMS package will determine what updates are needed and skip the rest. If you prefer, you can use the chart in the begining of this section to determine which databases have changes between your starting hot fix level and ending hot fix level and then run only scripts for those databases.
      • If a script fails with a checksum error, clear the checksums for the failed database:

        $ ./mehddl.sh clearCheckSums
        $ ./sorddl.sh clearCheckSums
        $ ./tdrddl.sh clearCheckSums

      • You can update the logging level and log file location the database properties files located in the <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Applications/SASFraudManagement/6.1/<Auth-Domain>/dbms/etc directory.

POST-INSTALLATION: Start SAS Fraud Management Servers

1. Redeploy Rules Files in SAS Fraud Management Web Application:

   Log in to the web application as a user with the privilege to deploy rules on the Console tab. Deploy all the existing rules files.

2. Start SAS Fraud Management Servers:
   1. Start the TAS server. Confirm there are no errors in the log.
      $ cd <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Applications/SASFraudManagement/6.1/<Auth-Domain>/analysis/bin
      $ ./tas.sh start
   2. Start the ODE server(s). Confirm there are no errors in the log.
