PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Create a Deployment Registry report:

    Before applying this hot fix, follow the instructions in SAS Note 35968 to generate a SAS Deployment Registry report.

    Commands to create the report:
    1. cd <SASHome>/deploymntreg
    2. <JAVA_HOME>/bin/java -jar sas.tools.viewregistry.jar

    Two files are created: DeploymentRegistry.txt and DeploymentRegistry.xml. Either of these files can be used to verify that the appropriate product releases are installed on your system. The release number information in the Deployment Registry report should match the 'member' release number provided above for the software components installed on each machine in your deployment. In addition, you can determine the current hot fix level by comparing the the software component information in the chart above with the Deployment Registry report.


INSTALLATION

  1. Backups:  Files delivered in this hot fix will be backed up during the installation process. However, it is good general practice to back up your system before applying updates to software.

    Backup the following:

    1. The <SASHOME> directory, including the <CONFIGDIR> directory
    2. Each database that will be updated by this hot fix. Review the POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS section to determine if there are database updates.

    For a detailed list of updated files, see the hot fix manifest.  NOTE: The manifest is cumulative for all hot fixes for this release.

  2. Stop Servers:  The AGS server and the JOSE server must be stopped via the command line before installing this hot fix. In addition, all batch jobs running against the SAS FM databases should be paused.

  3. Important:  Install this hot fix using the same userid who performed the initial software installation.

  4. Install the hot fix using the SAS Deployment Manager (SDM):

    Hot Fix L50010 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 Fraud Management 3.3_M1 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. Do NOT extract the contents of   L50010pt.zip into the selected directory. The hot fix installation process will extract the contents as needed.

    After copying L50010pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.3: User’s Guide.

    Note:   If this hot fix has been previously installed, use the -reinstallhotfix option when running the SDM. If friendly fixes have been previously installed, use the -alwaysoverwrite option.


    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).


POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Update the Databases:

    Database updates are generally performed by the DBA. The files required are found in the Miscellaneous directory in the L50010pt.zip file and must be manually extracted and copied to a location accessible by the DBA.

    1. Create a "L50010pt" directory on your machine and unzip the contents of L50010pt.zip into that directory.

    2. Go to the L50010pt/Miscellaneous directory.

    3. Based on the table below, determine which files need to be run and copy those files to the appropriate database server. The instructions for each file should be reviewed before running each update.

      The SAS Deployment Registry report created in the PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS step can be used to determine the current hot fix level. Files included in previous hot fixes should NOT be run again.

  2. (Step introduced in HF1, skip if already done)  Copy the updated SAS Fraud Management Reporting History DB Maintenance Macros files to the appropriate configuration directories.

    You must be logged in to the SAS Fraud Management ETL Server host machine as the configuration user.

    1. Navigate to $SASROOT/misc/fsmrh/data.
    2. Copy the frx_scd_column.csv to <implement_root>/dbloader/data/sas
    3. Copy the frx_scd_column_maint.csv to <implement_root>/dbmaint/data/sas
    4. Copy the frx_scd_column_upgrade.csv to <implement_root>/dbmaint/data/sas

  3. (Step introduced in HF2, skip if already done)  Set the test_area_path and test_area_path_webapp properties.

    A new property, test_area_path_webapp, has been created as part of this hot fix. This property is closely related to the property "test_area_path". Both properties can be found on the SAS Fraud Management web application under the Preferences tab. From the Preferences tab, select System Properties -> Rule Testing.

    The value for both of these properties needs to be set to a logical location that is shared between the server running WebSphere and the server hosting the SAS IOM Server. If the properties are not set correctly, rule testing may fail.

    It is suggested that the TestArea directory should be in the same location as the Estimates directory as defined in the properties "estimate_results_dir_sasiom" and "estimate_results_dir_webapp" found in the Preferences Tab under System Properties -> Estimation.

  4. (Step introduced in HF2, skip if already done)  Alternate connection method for Oracle Databases

    Use the following instructions if an alternate connection method from the Alert Generation Server (AGS) to an Oracle database is desired. 

    1. After applying this hot fix, edit $SASFMCP_IMPLEMENT_HOME/ags/etc/ags_env and insert this line at the bottom of the file:
      # export ORACLE_URL_TEMPLATE=jdbc:oracle:thin:@host:port:sid;
    2. Uncomment the line and save the file.
    3. Restart the Alert Generation Server.

    Note:  The host, port, and sid values in the URL will be substituted by AGS.

  5. (Step needed only if "SAS Fraud Management Mid-Tier" component was updated)  Update the web application deployed to your application server:

    1. Re-build Web Applications

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

      1. Set the DISPLAY environment variable, for example
        $ export DISPLAY=<displayname>:0

      2. Invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.3

        From the SASDeploymentManager directory execute sasdm.sh, for example

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

      3. Select a language in the Choose Language box

      4. Select Rebuild Web Applications

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

      6. Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password

      7. Select SAS Fraud Management Mid-Tier as the Web Application to Rebuild

      8. Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start

      9. Select Finish when the deployment is complete

      This process will update the Fraud Management ear in <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging. A backup of the original ear file will be placed in the Backup directory.

    2. Re-deploy Web Applications

      If the environment is not configured to auto deploy, perform the following steps manually after the hot fix has been applied to the Midtier server and the applications have been rebuilt via the SAS Deployment Manager:

      From the WebSphere Console:
      1. Uninstall the SAS Fraud Management application under applications

      2. Install new SAS Fraud Management application from either a local file system on "PC" or from a remote file system "On the WebSphere server"

        1. Click ADD

        2. Select Local or Remote. Remote will be located under <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging

        3. Add new application, assign proper JDBC and JMS resources as defined per your configuration.

        4. Once application is installed, a restart of the WebSphere Application server must be completed.

      3. Logon to Fraud Management Midtier to test.

      See SAS 9.3 Intelligence Platform Middle-Tier Administration Guide, Chapter 7, for more details on Re-deploying Web Applications.

  6. Start Servers:  Start the JOSE server and then the AGS server via the command line. Start any batch jobs that were paused before the installation.

  7. Create a final Deployment Registry report:

    Run a new SAS Depployment Registry report following the same steps as in the PRE-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS. The new report files will overwrite the existing ones. To retain the old files, save them to a new location or rename them before running the commands.

    Please send a copy of the final Deployment Registry report to SAS Fraud Management support.



This completes the installation of hot fix L50010 on Linux for x64.
