INSTALLATION

The G12001 hot fix for SAS Embedded Process 9.31 will be installed using the SAS Deployment Manager (SDM). By default, the SDM 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 G12001dl.zip, follow the instructions provided in the SAS Deployment Wizard/SAS Deployment Manager 9.3: User's Guide; see the Apply Hot Fixes section in Chapter 5 -- SAS Deployment Manager Tasks to complete the installation of the hot fix.

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


POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

  1. After the hot fix has been installed on the client machine, locate the file tkdb2srv.so in /SASTKInDatabaseServer/9.31/DB2onLinux64/sasexe.

  2. Use FTP (set the file transfer type to binary) or SCP to copy tkdb2srv.so to a temporary location on the target Database Server.

  3. Login to the target DB2 server as the DB2 instance owner. From the command line, execute the DB2SET command to find the LIBRARY_PATH location of the SAS DB2 Embedded Process scoring files:
    $ db2set
    DB2_SAS_SETTINGS=ENABLE_SAS_EP:true;LIBRARY_PATH:<db2instance-home>/SAS/SASTKInDatabaseServerForDB2/9.31/sasexe.
  4. Submit the following command to determine if the SAS DB2 Embedded Process is running.
    $ ps -ef | grep db2sasep
    If the SAS Embedded Process was started, lines similar to the following are displayed.
    db2v9 23265382 20840668 0 Oct 06 - 4:03 db2sasep
    db2v9 27983990 16646196 1 08:24:09 pts/10 0:00 grep db2sasep
  5. If the SAS DB2 Embedded Process is not running, skip to step 6. Otherwise, stop the database manager instance. This will stop the SAS Embedded Process.
    $ db2stop
    A message indicating that the stop was successful displays.

    If the database manager instance cannot be stopped because application programs are still connected to databases, use the FORCE APPLICATION command to disconnect all users, use the TERMINATE command to clear any background processes, and then use the DB2STOP command.

    $ db2 list applications
    $ db2 force applications all
    $ db2 terminate
    $ db2stop
  6. Change directory to the LIBRARY_PATH location and rename the current version of the tkdb2srv.so file.

  7. Copy the new version of the file (tkdb2srv.so) from step 2 to the LIBRARY_PATH location

  8. Restart the database manager instance
    $ db2start
  9. Verify that the SAS Embedded Process started
    $ ps -ef | grep db2sasep
    If the SAS Embedded Process was started, lines similar to the following are displayed.
    $ ps -ef | grep db2sasep
    db2v9 23265382 20840668 0 Oct 06 - 4:03 db2sasep
    db2v9 27983990 16646196 1 08:24:09 pts/10 0:00 grep db2sasep
    You can also verify if the SAS Embedded Process log file was created in the DB2 instance's diagnostic directory.
    $ cd <db2instance-home>/sqllib/db2dump
    $ ls -al sasep0.log



This completes the installation of hot fix G12001 for DB2 on Linux 64.
