POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

In a multi-tier deployment, the ActiveMQ client jars will also be present on the Metadata Server and Server (Compute) Tiers. This hot fix, M3P004, cannot be installed on these Tiers, so these jars are not removed or updated by the hotfix.

The jars are located under the following SAS-configuration-directories:

/Web/Scripts/AppServer/src/Config/vfabrictcsvr/jars/activemq/activemq-*.jar
/Web/Scripts/SASEnvironmentManagerAgent/src/Config/vfabrictcsvr/jars/activemq/activemq-*.jar

If this hot fix is installed on a 94M8 environment and that environment is upgraded to a later release of 94M8, the older version of the ActiveMQ jars will be reinstalled on the environment during the upgrade in place process. It is necessary to re-install this hot fix in such cases.
