POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. After hotfix installation has successfully completed you must remove older spring-web jar files so only the newest version of the jar file exists in the following installation location:


    Where <SASHome> is the file location where your SAS Software is installed on a machine.

    Note that jar file naming conforms to the following pattern in these directories: <Jar-Name>-<Version-Number>_<Release>.jar

    Examine the files with a common "spring-web" name and only keep the one file with the greatest <Version-Number> value. Using the <Version-Number> is necessary because there are instances when the file creation and modification dates may not differ across jar files.

    1. Stop the SAS Environment Manager service as well as all instances of SAS WebAppServer (tcServer)
    2. Run the SAS Deployment Manager and choose 'Remove Existing Configuration'
    3. Select only 'Job Mntr Hyperic Plugin/SAS Job Monitor Administration' and continue until you have unconfigured the product.

    <Config>/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.8.0-EE/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/hqu/jobmonitor/lib
    <Config>/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.8.0-EE/hq-engine/hq-server/temp/pdknull/work/lib/jobmonitor
    Where <Config> is the file location where you SAS Software configuration exists.

    Where <Config> is the file location where you SAS Software configuration exists.


  5. Reconfigure the SAS Job Monitor Administration product

    2. Choose the plan you originally installed and when prompted for products to configure, only select 'SAS Job Monitor Administration'
    3. Complete the configuration and exit the SAS Deployment Wizard.
