If you have previously configured software installed, the SAS Deployment Manager may present a screen where you will see "Apply SAS Hot Fixes" and "Configure SAS Hot Fixes" options.

PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

If the current SAS Security Update (SAS Security Update 2021-12 or later) has not been applied to your environment, it must be downloaded from SAS Security Updates and Hot Fixes and applied prior to applying this hot fix.

Failure to apply the security update prior to the hot fix will result in SAS Financial Management Studio failing to launch.

See SAS Note SAS Note 68679 for additional details.


To determine whether you have applied SAS Security Update 2021-12-M7, review the contents of
SASHome\InstallMisc\utilities\installqual\9.4\security_hotfix.properties
If the file does not exist, or it does not list the version as 9.0, then you do not have the latest version of the Security Update.


INSTALLATION

Hot Fix L1Y005 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 Financial Management 5.61 require updating on the machine. See SAS Note 44810 for more details.

The hot fix will be applied using the SAS Deployment Manager. By default, the SAS Deployment Manager 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 L1Y005pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User's Guide.

Please review the CONFIGURATION Important Note above concerning proper selection of the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option in the SAS Deployment Manager.


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.
