IMPORTANT NOTES

 1. You must have Base SAS 9.4_M1 installed on your system before
        applying this hot fix. Refer to Usage Note 35968 for instructions
        on how to determine which product releases you have installed.
     2. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must
        be terminated before applying this hot fix.
     3. The hot fix installer has a graphical user interface that requires
        the use of an X11 server. If an X11 server is not available at
        your site, the silent installation process described below may
        be used.
     4. SAS Hot Fixes are installed into new datasets after which they can be
        promoted to your production libraries. Several new datasets will be
        created in this process.


DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS

FTP N22004os.zip to a UNIX file system directory on z/OS.  This can be
done in one of three ways:

Option 1) Download hot fix N22004os.zip to your PC. When downloading a
          SAS 9.4 hot fix, you must choose to "save" the hot fix.  After
          downloading the file to the PC, FTP the N22004os.zip file to
          your working directory in USS by issuing the following commands:

          NOTE: It is recommended to FTP the file(s) to the default USS
          directory  <SASHOME>/InstallMisc/HotFixes/New.  If this
          USS directory does not exist on your system, you should create
          it before beginning the FTP process.

          binary
          put N22004os.zip /uss_directory/N22004os.zip
          quit

Option 2) From z/OS, FTP to ftp.sas.com using userid=anonymous and
          password=your.email&address

          Once you are logged on, "cd" to the following directory:
          /techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/N/N22/N22004/xx/mvs

          Issue the following commands to place the ZIP file in your working
          directory in USS:

          binary
          get N22004os.zip /uss_directory/N22004os.zip
          quit

Option 3) From z/OS, submit a batch job to FTP to ftp.sas.com using using
          userid=anonymous and password=your.email&address

          See sample JCL:

			 //FTPFIX     EXEC PGM=FTP
			 //SYSPRINT     DD SYSOUT=D
			 //FTPOUT     DD SYSOUT=D
			 //SYSIN     DD *
			 ftp.sas.com (exit
			 anonymous your.email&address
			 binary
			 cd /techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/N/N22/N22004/xx/mvs
			 get N22004os.zip /uss_directory/N22004os.zip (repl
			 quit

INSTALLATION

Hot Fix N22004 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 Base SAS 9.4_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.

After downloading N22004os.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User’s Guide.


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.
