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

Hot Fix P83004 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 SAS Strategy Management 5.6_M1 require updating on the machine. See SAS Note 44810 for more details.

The hot fix will be applied using the SAS Deployment Manager. By default, the SAS Deployment Manager 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 P83004pt.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.

Updates to the SAS Strategy Management Mid-Tier 5.6_M1 provided in this hot fix require that Web Applications be rebuilt and redeployed. If this component is installed on Windows, follow the steps below to rebuild and redeploy the web application:

Re-build Web Application

Before re-building the SAS Strategy Management web application, start all SAS services except the SAS Web Application Servers. For example, WebAppServer SASServer1_1 through WebAppServer SASServerX_1, where X is your highest SAS Web Application server, should be stopped.

1. Invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.4

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

<SASHOME>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4

2. Select a language in the Choose Language box

3. Select Rebuild Web Applications

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

5. Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password

6. Select SAS Strategy Management Mid-Tier 5.6 as the Web Application to rebuild

7. Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start

8. Select Finish when the deployment is complete

This process will update the SAS Strategy Management Mid-Tier 5.6_M1 ear in

<SASCONFIGDIR>/Web/Staging
A backup of the original ear file will be placed in the directory
<SASCONFIGDIR>/Web/Staging/Backup

9. Exit the SAS Deployment Manager 9.4


Re-deploy Web Application

The SAS Web Application servers should still be stopped as described in the Re-build Web Application section.

1. Invoke the SAS Deployment Manager 9.4

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

<SASHOME>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4

2. Select a language in the Choose Language box

3. Select Deploy Web Applications

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

5. Specify Connection Information, including the sasadm User ID and Password

6. Check the Allow the application server to stop checkbox

8. Select SAS Strategy Management Mid-Tier 5.6 as the Web Application to Deploy

9. Verify the information on the Summary screen and select Start

Note, if an error occurs in Stage 3: Start Web Application Server, try to start the SAS Web Application Servers manually, but first determine if SAS_Server1_1 has been started. It is recommended to look for the "server startup" message in the server.log file located in the
<SASCONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer1_1/logs
folder before starting the next server.
If the servers fail to start, please contact SAS Technical Support.

10. Select Finish and exit the SAS Deployment Manager when the deployment is complete


This completes the installation of hot fix P83004 on Linux for x64.
