INSTALLATION

Hot Fix W19003 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 Size Optimization 3.4 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 W19003pt.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User's Guide.

Please review the CONFIGURATION Important Note above concerning proper selection of the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option in the SAS Deployment Manager.


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.

If the updates for the Java Deserialization Vulnerability documented at http://support.sas.com/security/Java-deserialization.html were applied to your system, you must rerun the updateclientconfig tool delivered as part of the vulnerability update. If previously run on your system, you will find this tool in the following locations
/SASMerchandiseSolutionsConfigurationWorkbench/5.4/hotfix
/SASMerchandiseIntelligenceClient/5.4/hotfix

To rerun this tool:

  1. Navigate to /SASMerchandiseSolutionsConfigurationWorkbench/5.4/hotfix OR /SASMerchandiseIntelligenceClient/5.4/hotfix.

    The tool can be executed from either of these locations. It only needs to be run one time on each machine where these components are installed.

    • On Unix systems: execute the following command
      chmod 775 *
    • Execute the following command:

      Unix:

      updateclientconfig.sh <SASHome>
      where <SASHome> is the full path to SASHome

      Windows:

      updateclientconfig.bat
      Note: On some Windows operating systems, you might have to use the option to Run as administrator

      The batch tool prompts you for the SASHome location.
