POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. This hot fix requires post-installation steps that will update the web application deployed to your application server.


    Step 1: Re-build Web Applications

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

    1.1 Set the DISPLAY environment variable, for example

    $ export DISPLAY=<displayname>:0

    1.2 Invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.3

    From the SASDeploymentManager directory execute sasdm.sh, for example

    $ cd <SASHOME>/SASDeploymentManager/9.3
    $ ./sasdm.sh

    1.3 Select a language in the Choose Language box

    1.4 Select Rebuild Web Applications

    1.5 Select Configuration Directory or Enter the Configuration Directory and Level that needs to be updated

    1.6 Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password

    1.7 Select Web Report Studio 4.3 as the Web Application to Rebuild

    1.8 Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start

    1.9 Select Finish when the deployment is complete


    This process will update the Web Report Studio ear in <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging and place the updated exploded ear in <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging/exploded. The Web Report Studio ear includes:

    A backup of the original ear file will be placed in the Backup directory.


    Step 2: Re-deploy Web Applications

    2.1 Re-deploy the updated ear listed above to the web application server you are using based on the instructions appropriate for your web application server. See SAS 9.3 Intelligence Platform Web Application Administration Guide for more details.


  2. After installing the hot fix, additional steps might be required if you need to open SAS Web Report Studio or SAS Web Report Viewer in an inline frame (IFRAME). Specifically, in Microsoft Internet Explorer 8 and 9, SAS Web Report Studio and SAS Web Report Viewer do not open in an IFRAME if they are accessed from a browser link that opens a new window. The solution is to adjust the browser’s  ActiveX Control and Compatibility View settings. For details about how to manage these settings, see the following links:
