IMPORTANT NOTES

You must have SAS Merchandise Intelligence 5.2 installed on your system before applying this hot fix. Refer to SN-35968 for instructions on how to determine which product releases you have installed.
At a minimum, back up your system:
a. For SAS, refer to the SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates for documentation about back up tasks:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/whatsdiff/63859/HTML/default/viewer.htm#titlepage.htm

b. For SAS Merchandise Intelligence, backup the MI data mart and database.
Technical Support strongly suggests that you back up all of your files. You should always try to include the current date in the name of the backup file created to distinguish between versions of backup files. By doing this, you will maintain a history of the file, which will be helpful when multiple iterations of a maintenance release have been applied to the same file. For example:
cp com.sas.solutions.di.server.jar com.sas.solutions.di.server.jar.08202012
where 08202012 is the date when the maintenance release is applied.
The extension must be appended after the .jar extension, as it appears above.
You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.
All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix:
This hot fix should be installed using the same userid who performed the initial software installation.
You must deploy the hot fix in the following timeframe
- after your weekly activity has completed
- before the weekly ETL and back-end job

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

<SASHOME>\SASMerchandiseIntelligenceClient\5.21\configuration

SAS Merchandise Intelligence Workbench Server 5.21

Please perform below step on all SAS Merchandise Intelligence Configuration Workbench Client machines before installing MI5.21 client pieces for hotfix.

INSTALLATION

Hot Fix H63002 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 Revenue Optimization 5.2 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 H63002pt.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

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.

H79001 updates SAS Merchandise Intelligence Server 5.21

Run the Update Data Mart Script To update the existing data mart:

Log on as MI ETL User (sasmietl).
From the sasmietl home directory, run the migration script.
For WX6:
\Lev1\Applications\SASMerchIntellServer5.2\sas\update_datamart.bat
Check the log file (update_datamart.log) for output and errors.

Note: When you run the migration script, the system adds a date and time stamp to the name of the log file. This enables the system to maintain multiple versions of the log files. It also makes it easier to identify which log files correspond to specific runs of the scripts.

Here is an example of a log file that results from a script run on May 8, 2012, at 9:44 a.m.:
update_datamart_20120508_0944.log
