IMPORTANT NOTE(S):

1.  You must have SAS Human Capital Management 4.3 installed on your 
    system before applying this hot fix.

2.  You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine
    and all currently active Financial Management sessions must be terminated 
    before applying this hot fix.



INSTALLATION:


Extract 43hcm01wn.exe to build mid-tier and data-tier bat files. 


1. Run 43hcm01wn.exe to extract the hotfix installation files onto your server 
into a directory (for example, c:\SAS).  

Running the 43hcm01wn.exe will create a hotfix directory inside the directory 
specified during execution, named Hotfix_yyyymmdd, where yyyymmdd is the 
build date of the hotfix.  This is the 'Hotfix directory' and is the location of the 
files used below.

If you are running a multiple-server deployment, be sure to extract the files on 
both the mid-tier and data-tier servers.  

The extract contains several directories and a set of files in the Hotfix directory, 
including Readme.txt, hotfixEnv.cmd, Hotfix_Datatier.bat and Hotfix_Midtier.bat. 
Additional instructions are also included in the Readme.txt file.

2. Edit the hotfixEnv.cmd file to specify the location of your local SAS Solutions 
Configuration directory. By default, this location is c:\SAS\SASSolutionsConfig.

3. To update a data-tier environment (that is, the machine or machines that host 
SAS 9.1, the SAS Metadata Server, etc.), run Hotfix_Datatier.bat 

Note that it is safe to ignore the following messages if you receive them:

    “Error: Cannot open file soltnsmid.properties; ignoring”.

and

    "System error 1060 has occurred.

    The specified service does not exist as an installed service.


4. To update a mid-tier environment (that is, the machine that hosts the Weblogic 
application server and SAS services)

   a) Make sure that the SAS Managed Server under Weblogic and the SAS 
       Services are stopped.

   b) Run Hotfix_Midtier.bat. 

       Note that it is safe to ignore the message 

           “Error: Cannot open file soltnsdata.properties; ignoring”.

       It is also safe to ignore messages where locations could not be found under
       the 'bea' application directory.  This means that the hot fix installation could 
       not find products that are likely not installed.  For example, a message that
       would be generated if SAS Financial Management is not installed would
       look like the following:

           "C:\bea\user_projects\domains\SASSolutions\applications\sas.solutions.
            finance.ear does not exist"

   c) The Weblogic cache directories need to be cleared in order to  pick up the .jar 
       changes in the hot fix.  Delete the *contents* of the .wlnotdelete directories listed 
       below.  

       Note:  Depending on your configuration, not all of the directories in the list 
       might exist.

       <bea home>\user_projects\SASSolutions\FinanceServer\.wlnotdelete
       <bea home>\user_projects\SASSolutions\FoundationServer\.wlnotdelete
       <bea home>\user_projects\SASSolutions\HRServer\.wlnotdelete
       <bea home>\user_projects\SASSolutions\SASODCSServer\.wlnotdelete
       <bea home>\user_projects\SASSolutions\SolutionServer\.wlnotdelete
 
       where <bea home> is the directory weblogic is installed, normally c:\bea.
 
   d)  Restart SAS Services, the ODCS Managed Server, and the SAS Managed Server.  
       Restart all other Managed Servers that are being used in your configuration, 
       including HRServer.



This completes the installation of hot fix 43HCM01 on Windows.
