  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 T54004 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 Visual Scenario Designer 6.3 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 T54004pt.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.

In order for this step to execute correctly, the Metadata Server must be running.
**Note: SDM will start it for you if it is not running.

3.2 Unzip the war file created to the SAS Visual Scenario Designer deployment within SASServer7.

For example, mv the old war up one directory

	mv <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer7_1/sas_webapps/sas.visualscenariodesigner.war ~/
Then upzip the new war file to the SASServer7_1 deployment directory. 
	unzip <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/Staging/sas.visualscenariodesigner.war -d  <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer7_1/sas_webapps/sas.visualscenariodesigner.war
Step 4: Delete the work directory in SASServer7 
	rm -rf <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer7_1/work
Step 5: Delete the contents of the temp directory in SASServer7 
	rm -rf <CONFIGDIR>/Lev1/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer7_1/temp/*
