You must have Release 8.2 (TS2M0) installed on your system before applying this hot fix. 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. AFTER DOWNLOADING: The following instructions describe the steps for installing the files listed above. In this example, !SASROOT, the directory where Release 8.2 (TS2M0) is installed, is: /usr/lib/sas8 STEP 1: Assuming the tar file is downloaded to the user's HOME directory, follow these procedures to install the package. $> cd /usr/lib/sas8 $> uncompress -c $HOME/82bb97ia.tar | tar -xf - STEP 2: Once the tar command is complete, the following line must be added as the first line of the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file: -path !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe Do not modify any existing -PATH options in the !SASROOT/sasv8.cfg file. STEP 3: Change the ownership (using the chown command) and permissions (using the chmod command) on the files in the !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory to match the ownership and permissions on the files in the !SASROOT/sasexe directory. This completes the installation of hot fix 82BB97 on ABI+ for Intel Architecture.
