  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.


INSTALLATION

Hot Fix H09004 must be installed on each machine where the updated components of the product, listed above, are installed. During the installation process you may see references to all operating systems for which updates are provided in the hot fix. The installation process will determine the operating system and which component(s) of SAS Retail Space Management 6.3 require updating on the machine. See SAS Note 44810 for more details.

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 H09004pt.zip, follow the instructions provided in the SAS Deployment Wizard/SAS Deployment Manager 9.3: User’s Guide; see the Applying Hot Fixes for Windows and UNIX section in Chapter 5 -- SAS Deployment Manager Tasks to complete the installation of the hot fix.


The hot fix installation process generates the log file

<!SASHOME>\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\IT_date-and-time-stamp.log
for example, IT_2011-10-31-13.18.21.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 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.

Delete
<SASHOME>\SASVersionedJarRepository\eclipse\com.sas.app.launcher.cacheFile

Step 1: Re-build Web Applications

In order for this step to execute correctly, the Metadata Server must be running.

1.1 invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.3
      From the SASDeploymentManager directory launch sasdm.exe.
      SAS Deployment Manager is installed in the following default location:
                     <SASHOME>\SASDeploymentManager\9.3
1.2 Select a language in the Choose Language box
1.3 Select Rebuild Web Applications
1.4 Select Configuration Directory or Enter the Configuration Directory and Level that needs to be updated
1.5 Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password
1.6 Select Retail Space Mgmt Web Srvcs as the Web Application to Rebuild
1.7 Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start
1.8 Select Finish when the deployment is complete
      This process will update SAS Retail Space Management Web Services 6.3 ear in
                     <CONFIGDIR>\Lev1\Web\Staging.
A backup of the original ear file will be placed in the Backup directory.


Step 2: Re-deploy Web Applications

2.1 In your JBoss installation path, navigate to \server\SASServer1\deploy_SAS
2.2 Move the sas.rsm6.3.ear folder to an alternate location (e.g. Desktop) in case a rollback to the pre-hotfix state is necessary.
2.3 In your SAS Configuration directory (default path is assumed), navigate to:
                     C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Web\Staging\exploded\
2.4 Copy the sas.rsm6.3.ear folder from the \exploded folder to the JBoss deploy_SAS folder noted in step 2.1 above.
2.5 From the Windows Control Panel, start the JBoss/SASServer1 service.
2.6 From the Windows Control Panel, start the SAS Retail Space Management Server service.
2.7 JBoss requires 10-15 minutes to complete start-up.
2.8 Open a browser (IE8 or IE9) to invoke the rsm-studio web application with the appropriate URL and port number.


This completes the installation of hot fix H09004 on Windows for x64.
