POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. If you have configured the Web Server to use the secure sockets HTTPS protocol then the following steps can be skipped.

    If you have applied hotfix V77016 for SAS Web Server 9.4_M3, the Pivotal Web Server has been updated to version 6.2. In order for SAS Environment Manager to discover Pivotal Web Server 6.2, please complete the steps below to activate the new plugin.

    Note: You must restart all servers and web applications prior to executing the steps below:

    For more information on the proper order for starting servers, go to SAS® 9.4 Intelligence Platform: System Administration Guide, Fourth Edition and review the section entitled "Starting, Stopping and Checking the Status of Servers".

    1. Log into the SAS Environment Manager console.

    2. Select Resources -> Browse from the Resources dropdown. Then click the Servers link. A list of servers will be displayed.

    3. If there is a Web Server in the discovered server list, click its checkbox. The discovered Web Server name may look like "xxxxxxxx Pivotal Web Server 6.x WebServer" or "xxxxxxxx vFabric Web Server 6.x".

    4. Click the Delete button at the bottom of the webpage to remove this Web Server instance. Then click OK in the confirmation dialog.

    5. Select Dashboard in the webpage toolbar. If there is a Pivotal Web Server 6.2 in Auto-Discovery section, then check the resource and click the Add Into Inventory link. After you add the resource into inventory, please skip the following steps. Otherwise, complete the remaining steps to add the new Web Server to the inventory.

    6. Select Resources -> Browse again, and click the Platforms link. Then click on the machine platform where the Web Server is installed.

    7. Select New Auto-Discovery from the Tools Menu dropdown to request that a new discovery process run.

    8. On the New Auto-Discovery page, click on the Pivotal Web Server 6.2 checkbox. Then click the OK button near the bottom of the webpage.

    9. Select Dashboard in the webpage toolbar. Refresh the dashboard page repeatedly until the newly discovered Web Server appears in the webpage's Auto-Discovery section. Then check the resource and click the Add Into Inventory link.

      Note: If you cannot find the new Pivotal Web Server 6.2 resource in Resources -> Servers page after you clicked the Add Into Inventory link, login to the machine where the Pivotal Web Server 6.2 is installed, stop the Environment Manager Agent on this machine, re-name the data directory under <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/agent-5.8.0-EE/ to data_backup, and then restart the Environment Manager Agent. Restarting the Agent must be done by using the hq-agent script with the ‘restart’ option. The new Pivotal Web Server 6.2 resource should appear on the Auto-Discovery section. Select and click the Add Into Inventory link to add this new resource into inventory.
