POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: SAS PATCH CODE GIVEN BELOW NEEDS TO BE APPLIED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE HOTFIX IS APPLIED AND BEFORE CXT ETL RUN.
What you will need to do:
- Ensure SAS Metadata server, SAS Object Spawner, SAS Connect Spawner are all up and running.
- Launch Base SAS from ~/Lev/SASApp as an user who has administrative privileges for CXT.
- Assign CXTWH and CXTCNFG in the SAS session before running the SAS code patch for geo_ip_md5 given below.
- The library statement for CXTWH and CXTCNFG can be obtained by login into SAS DI Studio. To get the CXTWH and CXTCNFG library names.
- Launch SAS DI studio using CXT admin user credentials.
- On the Folders tab, navigate to CXT ETL -> Data Sources -> CXTWH.
- Right-click CXTWH and select ‘view LIBNAME’.
- Copy the library details and paste it in the program editor window and run it.
- Make sure the library is assigned without error.
- Similarly get the library statement for CXTCNFG under the folder CXT ETL -> Data Source -> CXTCNFG and assign that library in the SAS session without any errors in the log.
Once both the libraries are assigned, then run the following SAS CODE PATCH in the same SAS session.
