IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

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

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

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