INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR HOT FIX 12APCORE01 ON WINDOWS


The hot fix package downloaded is a self extracting executable named 
12apcore01wn.exe. 



IMPORTANT NOTE(S):

1.  You must have SAS Analytics Platform Release 1.2 installed on your 
    system before applying this hot fix.

2.  It is recommended that the hotfix be installed using the same userid who 
    performed the SAS 9.1.3 installation.

3.  You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine
    and all currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must 
    be terminated before applying this hot fix.

4.  This hot fix should be applied to all of your client machine(s) AND to your 
    Analytics Platform/mid-tier machine.



To install this hotfix 

1.  Launch the executable, which will initiate a Java install wizard and will 
guide you through the extraction of the updated components.  


2.  To verify the installation of the hot fix confirm that the file(s) in the location(s)
below have been updated to the level indicated by the date provided:

      <sashome>\SASAPCore\lib\sas.apps.session.jar
	Date: 03/14/06 (EST)

      <sashome>\SASAPCore\lib\sas.apps.session.server.jar
	Date: 03/14/06 (EST)


3.  In addition to applying hotfix 12APCORE01 to the SAS Analytics Platform 
server,  it is necessary to manually edit some control files.

a)  UNIX users need to edit the apserver shell script located in the path 

      <sashome>/SASAPCore/bin/apserver

Add the following command line argument before the word $OPTIONS 
in the last line of the script. Make sure there is one blank space before 
and after this argument:

      -Dap.rmi.socket.factory=com.sas.apps.session.server.APSocketFactoryRMI


b)  Windows users need to edit two files. Edit the apstart.ini file, typically at path 

      C:\Program Files\SAS\SASAPCore\bin\apstart.ini

Add this argument to the CommandLineArgs line, just after the argument 
"-Xmx512m".  Make sure there is one blank space before and after this 
argument:

      -Dap.rmi.socket.factory=com.sas.apps.session.server.APSocketFactoryRMI


c)  Windows users should also edit the wrapper.conf file, which is used to
contain the arguments when the Analytics Platform server is installed as a 
Windows service. The typical path is 

      C:\Program Files\SAS\SASAPCore\conf\wrapper.conf 

Locate the following line in the "Java Additional Parameters" section of 
the file: 

      wrapper.java.additional.8=-Dsas.app.class.dirs=../lib

Immediately after it, add this line: 

      wrapper.java.additional.9=-Dap.rmi.socket.factory=com.sas.apps.session.server.APSocketFactoryRMI


d)  After saving the appropriate edits, stop and restart the AP server, and then 
ask clients to try access again.


4.  Repeat the installation of this hot fix on all client machines as well as your 
Analytics Platform/mid-tier machine.



This completes the installation of hotfix 12APCORE01.
