IMPORTANT NOTES

1. 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.

2. You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.

3. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix.

4. This hot fix should be installed using the same userid who performed the initial software installation.

INSTALLATION

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 P04002pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.3: User’s Guide.

The hot fix installation process generates the log file

<!SASHOME>\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\IT_date-and-time-stamp.log

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.

Re-build and Re-deploy Web Application

This hot fix requires that the WebApp be rebuilt and redeployed. Use the following steps to perform this post-installation task:

Step 1: Re-build Web Application

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

1.1 Invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.3

From the SASDeploymentManager directory launch sasdm.sh.
SAS Deployment Manager is installed in the following default location:

<SASHOME>/SASDeploymentManager/9.3

1.2 Select a language in the Choose Language box

1.3 Select Rebuild Web Applications

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

1.5 Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password

1.6 Select Enterprise GRC MidTier 5.1 as the Web Application to Rebuild

1.7 Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start

1.8 Select Finish when the deployment is complete

This process will update the Enterprise GRC MidTier 5.1 ear in <SASCONFIGDIR>/Web/Staging.
A backup of the original ear file will be placed in the directory below:

<SASCONFIGDIR>/Web/Staging/Backup

Step 2: Re-deploy Web Applications

Re-deploy the web applications based on the instructions for the web application server you are using.

Notes:

1. Please see SAS Note 54281 and SAS Note 54282 for recommended changes to the SAS Enterprise GRC workflow and notification templates.

2. The system can now be configured to hide the allocation/monetary breakdown tab in the incident wizard using a new option “monitor.incidentMonetaryBreakdown.enable”. To disable this tab, set the following properties in configdata.properties:

   monitor.incidentAllocation.enable = false
   monitor.incidentMonetaryBreakdown.enable = false
   
   By default, both values are true. A restart of the SAS Enterprise GRC MidTier server is required for this change to take effect.

3. A new configuration option has been added to allow users to delete accepted tests. To enable this behavior, set the following property in configdata.properties:

   monitor.controlTesting.canDeleteAcceptedTest = true
   
   By default, the value is false, and accepted tests cannot be deleted or unloaded.

4. As part of security fix to prevent cross-scripting vulnerability, please update configdata.properties file and add the property “monitor.http.xframeoptions” with one of the following values:

   SAMEORIGIN - only allows current site to frame content
   ALLOW-FROM uri - only allows the page to be framed from the specified origin (may not be supported on all browsers)
   DENY - prevents any domain from framing the content (not recommended)
   none - turn off header, do not set any value (default)
