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

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 V77001pt.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

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.

   > ln -s httpd-2.2.31.0-64 httpd-2.2

2. If you configure the Web Server to use the secure sockets HTTPS protocol then the SAS Environment Manager plugin will not be able to monitor the Web Server. In that case the following steps will not apply and they can be skipped. Otherwise, please complete these steps to activate the new plugin once the system has been restarted:
   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 should look like: xxxxxxxx vfabric Web Server 5.x WebServer.

   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 5.5 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 5.5 checkbox. Then click the OK button near the bottom of the webpage.

      Note: If you cannot find the new Pivotal Web Server 5.5 resource in Resources -> Servers page after you clicked the Add Into Inventory link, login to the machine where the Pivotal Web Server 5.5 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. The new Pivotal Web Server 5.5 resource should appear on the Auto-Discovery section. Select and click the Add Into Inventory link to add this new resource into inventory.
