IMPORTANT NOTES
-
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.
-
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.
-
CONFIGURATION: No automatic configuration scripting is included for this hot fix. 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.
On this screen, you must ensure that the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option is *not* selected. If this option is automatically
selected, please de-select it prior to proceeding with the SAS Deployment Manager Screens. Failure to do so could have unintended
consequences when applying this hot fix.
SAS Technical Support provided some customers with a pre-production JAR file (sas.solutions.irm.server.jar)
to evaluate fixes for SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management 3.7. If you applied a pre-production JAR file
to your system, you should remove it prior to installing the official SAS Infrastructure for
Risk Management 3.7 Hot Fix M2Q003. Failure to remove this pre-production JAR file before applying the
hot fix can cause issues during hot fix installation.
Steps to delete a pre-production sas.solutions.risk.irm.server.jar fix from IRM environment are as follows:
-
On the Midtier machine - open the file
<SASConfig>\Lev1\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer8_1\sas_webapps\sas.insuranceriskmanagementserver.war\WEB-INF\picklist
and search the file for the line:
name=sas.solutions.risk.irm.server
Below this line you will find the version number of sas.solutions.risk.irm.server jar file. For example:
version=307001.8.0.20240809091900_f0irm37p
- Go to the folder <SASHome>\SASVersionedJarRepository\eclipse\plugins and search for the
sas.solutions.risk.irm.server jar that matches the version number.
For example:
sas.solutions.risk.irm.server_307001.8.0.20240809091900_f0irm37p
Remove this file from the folder or move it to a different archive folder.
INSTALLATION
Hot Fix M2Q003 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 Infrastructure for Risk Management 3.7 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 M2Q003pt.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.
This hot fix requires following post-installation steps.
-
Run the SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management post-installation task automation tool.
For detailed instructions, go to the
SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management 3.7 Administrator's Guide.
- Ensure that all servers are stopped except the Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server.
- Ensure you are logged in to the SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management server machine as the SAS Installer account.
- Execute the following command (updated for your deployment) to complete the post-installation tasks:
<SASHome>\SASPrivateJavaRuntimeEnvironment\9.4\jre\bin\java -cp <SASHome>\SASVersionedJarRepository\eclipse\plugins\sas.solutions.risk.irm.server_307001.8.0.20240809091900_f0irm37p.jar
com.sas.solutions.risk.irm.server.utils.IRMHFHelper
-home <SASHome> -config <SASConfig> -dbuser <IRM_db_user > -dbpassword <IRM_db_user_pw>
Values in angle brackets <> above denote user-replaced values.
Other optional parameters may be required if your install differs from the default install values in the SAS Deployment Wizard®. The SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management 3.7 Administrator's Guide provides more details.
-
Update and merge the IRM logging configuration file.
This fixes an issue with the log file size and logging entry formatting.
- Make a backup of the existing configuration files.
- cd <SASConfig>\Lev1\Web\Common\LogConfig
- copy SASIRM-log4j2.xml SASIRM-log4j2.xml.bak
- copy SASIRMServer-log4j2.xml SASIRMServer-log4j2.xml.bak
- Copy the new configuration files installed by the hot fix.
- cd <SASConfig>\Lev1\Web\Common\LogConfig
- copy <SASHome>\SASInfrastructureforRiskManagementMidTier\3.7\Configurable\logging\SASIRM-log4j2.xml.orig SASIRM-log4j2.xml
- copy <SASHome>\SASInfrastructureforRiskManagementMidTier\3.7\Configurable\logging\SASIRMServer-log4j2.xml.orig SASIRMServer-log4j2.xml
- This will reset the logging configuration to its defaults. If different settings are desired,
you can merge the changes into the configuration files using the backup files as a reference.
- Delete the unused log configuration files.
- cd <SASConfig>\Lev1\Web\Common\LogConfig
- del SASIRM-log4j.xml
- del SASIRMServer-log4j.xml
