NLS Issues with this patch

If you want to run ADS 1.2 in French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, or Spanish, you need to follow these instructions. This patch contains two fixes for NLS issues.

The first fix updates translated version of the afmsg and eismsg message data sets on the SAS server. In the sasupdates folder there are a set of cport files. For version 6 of SAS (v6ln.cpo), for version 8.0 of SAS (v80ln.cpo), and for version 8.1 of SAS (v81ln.cpo), where ln stands for language code (see the language code table listed below for the ln values).  The cpo files contain the server side datasets as well as the Statdesc.scl entry in case of version 6. Without applying this fix, user will not be able to utilize the functionality of the Computed Values and Show Detail Data menu options within ADS 1.2 applets.

To apply the French, German, Hungarian, Italian, Polish, or Spanish updates:

  1. In the sasupdates folder there is a subfolder for V6, V8.0, & V8.1.
  2. Copy the appropriate v*ln.cpo file from one of these folders to the machine which is your SAS server. Be sure to carefully choose the correct version of the SAS cpo files that corresponds with the version of your SAS server. The cpo files are stored in subfolders by SAS version in the sasupdates folder. If you attempt to apply the wrong SAS version of the cpo file, the results will be unpredictable.
  3. Start SAS on the server.
  4. Enter and submit the following code:

      For V81 SAS Servers:

libname appdev 'path-to-the: : \sasupdates\v81';
proc cimport lib=appdev infile='path-to-the: : \sasupdates\v81ln.cpo'; run;
/* Where ln stands for language code. See the table above for ln values. For example, v81de.cpo is the Version 8.1 German cpo file.*/

proc datasets library=appdev;
   copy out=sashelp;
   select eismsg afmsg;
   run;

       For V80 SAS Servers:

libname appdev 'path-to-the: : \sasupdates\v80';
proc cimport lib=appdev infile='path-to-the: : \sasupdates\v80ln.cpo'; run;
/* Where ln stands for language code. See the table above for ln values. For example, v80de.cpo is the Version 8.0 German cpo file.*/

proc datasets library=appdev;
   copy out=sashelp;
   select eismsg afmsg;
   run;

       For V6 SAS Servers:

libname appdev 'path-to-the: : \sasupdates\v6';
proc cimport lib=appdev infile='path-to-the: : \sasupdates\v6ln.cpo'; run;
/* Where ln stands for language code. See the table above for ln values. For example, v6de.cpo is the Version 6 German cpo file.*/

proc datasets library=appdev;
   copy out=sashelp;
   select eismsg afmsg;
   run;


The second fix is for accessing the NLS translations of the webEIS help. It is necessary to modify the webEIS property file to access this help. Without applying this fix, the English version of the help will be displayed.

To access the NLS translations of webEIS help:

  1. Change directory to the webEIS folder of your AppDev Studio installation(typically \appdevstudio\webeis).
  2. Copy the file webeis.properties to webeis.properties.en
  3. Edit the file webeis.properties and change the HelpFolder=help setting to HelpFolder=help\ln, where ln stands for language code. See the language code table listed above for the ln values.

To add help for the MDTable transformation bean to webAF:
If you have previously installed AppDev Studio 1.2 Patch 1, then you do not need to repeat these steps.

On the AppDev Studio download site there is another file in addition to the patch. This file contains the compiled html help used by webAF. This file has been updated for the patch to include the Javadoc for the new MDTable transformation bean. The patch installation program adds this Javadoc to the AppDev Studio Developer's site on your machine. If you want to access this new Javadoc from within webAF follow the directions below.

  1. Get the webafchm.zip file from the AppDev Studio download site.
  2. Extract the contents of the zip file to the same folder that the patch files are in.
  3. Copy the webaf.chm file to the webaf\help folder of your AppDev Studio installation(typically \appdevstudio\webaf\help).

To install the EIS hotfix for SAS Version 8.1:

  1. Go to http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/v81fp.html.
  2. Select the latest MDDB Server/SAS OLAP Server hot fix for 8.1 that contains performance enhancements for the EIS data model class.
  3. Follow the instructions provided to install the EIS data class hot fix.
