The name of the tar file is 82te08ar.tar.Z. IMPORTANT NOTE(S): 1. You must have Release 8.2 (TS2M0) installed on your system before applying this hot fix. 2. You must be running AIX 5.1 or greater 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: Create the necessary sub-directories in !SASROOT if they do not already exist. $> cd /usr/lib/sas8 If the misc/dbi directory does not exist, it should be created. $> mkdir misc misc/dbi If the hotfix directory does not exist, it should be created. $> mkdir hotfix hotfix/sasexe STEP 2: Change to the !SASROOT/misc/dbi directory. $> cd /usr/lib/sas8/misc/dbi STEP 3: Extract the contents of the downloaded tar file. Assuming the tar file is downloaded to the user's HOME directory, execute the following commands: $> cd /usr/lib/sas8/misc/dbi $> uncompress -c $HOME/82te08ar.tar | tar -xf - After the files has been extracted, the following makefile and directory structure with files for linking will be created: !SASROOT/misc/dbi/sastra.mak !SASROOT/misc/dbi/sastra_obj/ STEP 4: Build the new version of SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe/sastra. $> pwd /usr/lib/sas8/misc/dbi $> make -f sastra.mak This will rename !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe/sastra by appending the current date to the file name and build a new version of !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe/sastra. Also, !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe/sasiotra will be replaced. Any intermediate files created are cleaned-up. STEP 5: 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 6: 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. STEP 7: To backout, replace !SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe/sastra with the most recent backup generated in STEP 3. !Replace SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe/sasiotra with the most recent backup also. This completes the installation of hot fix 82TE08 on AIX.
