POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

This hot fix delivers the following files to the <SASHome>/SASWebApplicationServer/9.4/ directory:

apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar.gz
apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.zip
activemq-client-5.12.0.jar
activemq-kahadb-store-5.12.0.jar
hawtbuf-1.11.jar
activemq-jms-pool-5.12.0.jar
activemq-pool-5.12.0.jar
commons-pool2-2.3.jar
Follow the instructions below to upgrade the ActiveMQ standalone server:
  1. Navigate to the <SASHome>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4/products/cfgwizard__#####__prt__xx__sp0__1/Utilities/AppServer/ Source/Config/vfabrictcsvr directory
    NOTE: You may have multiple cfgwizard_* directories. Choose the one that has the highest number represented by the ##### in the location above.

  2. Rename apache-activemq-5.7.0-bin.tar.gz
    to
    apache-activemq-5.7.0-bin.tar.gz.bkup

  3. Copy <SASHome>/SASWebApplicationServer/9.4/apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar.gz
    to
    the current directory
    (ie: <SASHome>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4/products/cfgwizard__#####__prt__xx__sp0__1/Utilities/AppServer/Source/Config/vfabrictcsvr directory)

  4. Rename apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar.gz
    to
    apache-activemq-5.7.0-bin.tar.gz

  5. Copy <SASHome>/SASWebApplicationServer/9.4/apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar.gz
    to
    the <SASConfig>/LevX/Web directory

  6. Navigate to the <SASConfig>/LevX/Web directory

  7. Use the following commands to unzip and untar apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar.gz:
    > gunzip apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar.gz
    > /usr/local/bin/tar -xvf apache-activemq-5.12.0-bin.tar
    This will create a <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/apache-activemq-5.12.0 directory.

  8. Rename the <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/activemq directory
    to
    activemq.bkup

  9. Rename the <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/apache-activemq-5.12.0 directory
    to
    activemq

  10. Edit <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/activemq/bin/env and make the changes below:
    Replace line 109 of env which is:
    JAVACMD="auto"
    with the line below:
    JAVACMD="<path_to_SASHome>/SASPrivateJavaRuntimeEnvironment/9.4/jre/bin/java"

Note: If you made customizations to the pre-hotfix version of activemq.xml, i.e. <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/activemq.bkup/conf/activemq.xml, including port numbers, they will be lost unless you apply them back to the updated version in <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/activemq/conf/activemq.xml.

This completes the steps needed to upgrade the ActiveMQ standalone server.

Follow the steps below to copy the ActiveMQ client jars used by SAS web apps.

  1. Navigate to <SASHome>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4/products/cfgwizard__#####__prt__xx__sp0__1/Utilities/AppServer/Source/Config/vfabrictcsvr/jars/ directory

  2. Rename activemq
    to
    activemq.bkup

  3. Create a new directory named activemq

  4. Copy the following jars from <SASHome>/SASWebApplicationServer/9.4/ directory
     to
    the activemq directory:
    activemq-client-5.12.0.jar
    activemq-kahadb-store-5.12.0.jar
    hawtbuf-1.11.jar
    activemq-jms-pool-5.12.0.jar
    activemq-pool-5.12.0.jar
    commons-pool2-2.3.jar

  5. Perform the following steps for each configured SAS tc Server instance

    1. Create a Backup subdirectory in each instance's <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/WebAppServer/SASServerX_X/lib directory

    2. Move the following jar files from each web app server' <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/WebAppServer/SASServerX_X/lib directory
      into
      <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/WebAppServer/SASServerX_X/lib/Backup directory:
      activemq-core-5.7.0.jar
      kahadb-5.7.0.jar
      activemq-pool-5.7.0.jar
      commons-pool-1.6.jar

    3. Copy all the jar files delivered to <SASHome>/SASWebApplicationServer/9.4/
      into
      <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/WebAppServer/SASServerX_X/lib directory.

    4. Inspect each <SASConfig>/LevX/Web/WebAppServer/SASServerX_X/conf/server.xml file. Make changes below if org.apache.activemq.pool.AmqJNDIPooledConnectionFactory appears in server.xml. If the string is not found, this step can be skipped.

      Change:

      org.apache.activemq.pool.AmqJNDIPooledConnectionFactory
      to
      org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory (e.g. in the EVQueueConnectionFactory Resource statements).

      Other Resources containing Resource statements that reference org.apache.activemq.pool.AmqJNDIPooledConnectionFactory should also be changed to org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory, if they exist.

  6. Delete the following file:
    <SASHome>/SASWebApplicationServer/9.4/templates/sas/lib/activemq-core-5.4.3.jar

  7. Restart the standalone ActiveMQ server, ActiveMQ clients and web app servers with web apps that use ActiveMQ

    Note: Please see SAS Note 5707 if if appears that the SAS Java Message broker is not running.
