INSTALLATION

The R92001 hot fix for SAS Data Quality Server 9.4_M1 will be installed 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 R92001la.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User’s Guide.

The content of this hot fix is listed in the hot fix manifest.


POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Once R92001 has been applied these steps must be performed:

  1. Rename the library libgsoap-2.7.so to a backup file. This step will allow the original library to be restored if necessary.

  2. Create a symbolic link named libgsoap-2.7.so linked to libgsoap_ssl-2.7.so. For example,
    ln -s libgsoap_ssl-2.7.so libgsoap-2.7.so
    This step gives SAS code access to the SSL-enabled SOAP library.

  3. Modifying a SAS Data Integration Studio generated job to use SSL:

    The fix includes a new user-written function, dmsrvprotocol. The SAS code generated by DI Studio's 'run batch job' transform will have to be modified so that it calls this new function.

    The function takes a character-type argument whose value must be either "http" or "https". In this case you will want to use "https". Below is a sample data step using the new function:

    data _null_;
    rc = dmsrvuser("usernamegoeshere", "passwordgoeshere");
    rc = dmsrvprotocol("https"); /* new function */
    rc = dmsrvbatchjob("job", "machine.xx.com", 21036);
    run;
    Add the call to dmsrvprotocol("https") anywhere in the data step before the call to dmsrvbatchjob and communication between client and server will use SSL.



This completes the installation of hot fix R92001 on Linux for x64.
