IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. You must have SAS High-Performance Risk Server Component 4.2 installed on your system before applying this hot fix. Refer to SN-35968 for instructions on how to determine which product releases you have installed.

  2. Files delivered in this hot fix will be backed up during the installation process. However, it is good general practice to back up your system before applying updates to software.

  3. You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.

  4. All currently active SAS sessions, daemons, spawners and servers must be terminated before applying this hot fix.

  5. This hot fix should be installed using the same userid who performed the initial software installation.

  6. CONFIGURATION: No automatic configuration scripting is included for this hot fix. If you have previously configured software installed, the SAS Deployment Manager may present a screen where you will see "Apply SAS Hot Fixes" and "Configure SAS Hot Fixes" options. On this screen, you must ensure that the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option is *not* selected. If this option is automatically selected, please de-select it prior to proceeding with the SAS Deployment Manager Screens. Failure to do so could have unintended consequences when applying this hot fix.


INSTALLATION

The F7P001 hot fix for SAS High-Performance Risk Server Component 4.2 will be installed using the SAS Deployment Manager. By default, the SAS Deployment Manager will search in the <SASHOME>/InstallMisc/HotFixes/New directory for hot fixes to be applied, but will also prompt for a location if you have downloaded hot fixes to a different directory.

After downloading F7P001la.zip, follow the instructions for applying hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard and SAS Deployment Manager 9.4: User's Guide.

Please review the CONFIGURATION Important Note above concerning proper selection of the "Configure SAS Hot Fix" option in the SAS Deployment Manager.

The content of this hot fix is listed in the hot fix manifest.


POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

High Performance Risk Server 4.2 Grid Update

  1. Copy SASFoundation/9.4/misc/hprisksvr/TKGrid_HF_x86_64_tkhprisk_01.sh grid hot fix installer to the parent directory of the existing TKGrid installation on the head grid node.

  2. Log in to the head grid node and run the following (modify path to match your installation location):
    $ umask 022
    $ cd /install

    The output of the file command should indicate that TKGrid is a directory. If so, then proceed to the next step. When the output of the file command indicates that TKGrid is a symbolic link (i.e., softlink), issue the "cd" command to change to the parent folder of the resolved link location. Repeat the "file TKGrid" and "cd" commands until the "file TKGrid" output indicates that TKGrid is a directory.

  3. Run the grid hot fix installer script:
    $ ./TKGrid_HF_x86_64_tkhprisk_01.sh
    You should see the following:

    Verifying archive integrity... All good. Uncompressing TKGrid........... running TKGrid/bin_tkhprisk_01/hfInstall TKGrid /install TKGrid HotFix Configuration Utility. Running on 'gridnode01.orion.com' Using stdin for options. Shared install or replicate to each node? (Y=SHARED/n=replicated)

  4. Check with your grid install team to determine if the existing grid software was deployed using a replicated or shared approach. Answer the question accordingly and proceed with the grid software update. If necessary, respond with YES to confirm the software update on all of the other grid nodes.

    The updated shared libraries will be located in the /install/TKGrid/lib_tkhprisk_01 folder.
    If necessary, the permissions on the /install/TKGrid folder for all grid nodes may need to be updated for group read/write permissions.


High-Performance Risk Server 4.2 optional integration with SAS Event Stream Processing (ESP)

If you are integrating SAS High-Performance Risk with ESP, perform the following post-installation steps:

  1. If the SAS installation was previously configured for ESP with modifications of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH and DFESP_HOME on the command line or in batch files used to launch SAS, then these should be removed.

  2. Modify the ${SASROOT}/bin/sasenv_local script to set the environment variables: LD_LIBRARY_PATH, DFESP_HOME, and TKPATH.
    Note: If your deployment uses the alternative scripts ${SASROOT}/bin/sasenv_local.ksh or ${SASROOT}/bin/sasenv_local.csh then you will need to make equivalent modifications in these files.
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH:
    The path ${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/misc/espps/lib must be placed at the start of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.
    The path ${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/misc/espps/tksf must be placed at the end of the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable.

    DFESP_HOME:
    Set this environment variable to the ESP client located at the directory ${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/espps. This must not be set to an external ESP installation as HPRisk now only works with the ESP client that is installed with this hotfix.

    TKPATH:
    Set this environment variable to the path for the SAS executables located in ${SASROOT}/sasexe

    NOTE It is important that this be done in ${SASROOT}/bin/sasenv_local and not on the command line when launching SAS to ensure the ESP libraries are first in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

    The following is an example modification to ${SASROOT}/bin/sasenv_local that assumes $SASROOT is set to the root directory of the SAS installation (you will need to change this value based on your deployment).

    #########################################################################
    # Set path to internal ESP PubSub Client to the start of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    # and set ESP variables DFESP_HOME and TKPATH.
    #########################################################################

    SASROOT=/path/to/sas/installation/dir

    if [ "$LD_LIBRARY_PATH" != "" ] ;  then
       LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/espps/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}
    else
       LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/espps/lib
    fi
    # Add the path to libtksf.so at the end so the installed version is used
    # if one is found.
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}:${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/espps/tksf
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export DFESP_HOME=${SASROOT}/misc/hprisksvr/espps
    export TKPATH=${SASROOT}/sasexe
