Before applying this hot fix, follow the instructions in SAS Note 35968 to generate a SAS Deployment Registry report, then verify that the appropriate product releases are installed on your system. The release number information in the Registry report should match the 'member' release number information provided above for the software components installed on each machine in your deployment.

The hot fix downloaded, H33002pt.zip, includes the updates required for all components listed above on all applicable operating systems. To apply this hot fix on multiple machines, you can either save H33002pt.zip on each machine or save it in a network location that is accessible to all machines.

Do NOT extract the contents of H33002pt.zip. The hot fix installation process will extract the contents as needed.


IMPORTANT NOTES

  1. 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.

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

  3. The hot fix installer has a graphical user interface that requires the use of an X11 server. If an X11 server is not available at your site, the silent installation process described in the User's Guide may be used.

  4. SAS Hot Fixes are installed into new datasets after which they can be promoted to your production libraries. Several new datasets will be created in this process.

  5. This hot fix is only useful for those customers who use the SAS Migration Utility (SMU) to migrate from SAS IT Resource Management 3.2.

  6. As a result of installing this hotfix, a warning will be generated when any IT Resource Management job is executed indicating that conflicting versions have been detected "at the Major level". This warning is expected, should be ignored and will be eliminated in a future release of the solution.


DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS

FTP H33002pt.zip to a UNIX file system directory on z/OS. This can be done in one of three ways:

  1. Download hot fix H33002pt.zip to your PC. When downloading a SAS 9.3 hot fix, you must choose to "save" the hot fix. After downloading the file to the PC, FTP the H33002pt.zip file to your working directory in USS by issuing the following commands:
    NOTE:  It is recommended to FTP the file(s) to the default USS directory <SASHOME>/InstallMisc/HotFixes/New. If this USS directory does not exist on your system, you should create it before beginning the FTP process.

    binary
    put H33002pt.zip /uss_directory/H33002pt.zip
    quit
  2. From z/OS, FTP to ftp.sas.com using userid=anonymous and password=your.email&address

    Once you are logged on, "cd" to the following directory:
    /techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/H/H33/H33002/xx/prt

    Issue the following commands to place the ZIP file in your working directory in USS:

    binary
    get H33002pt.zip /uss_directory/H33002pt.zip
    quit
  3. From z/OS, submit a batch job to FTP to ftp.sas.com using using userid=anonymous and password=your.email&address

    Sample JCL:

    //FTPFIX     EXEC PGM=FTP
    //SYSPRINT     DD SYSOUT=D
    //FTPOUT     DD SYSOUT=D
    //SYSIN     DD *
    ftp.sas.com (exit
    anonymous your.email&address
    binary
    cd techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/H/H33/H33002/xx/prt
    get H33002pt.zip /uss_directory/H33002pt.zip (repl
    quit

INSTALLATION

Hot Fix H33002 must be installed on each machine where the updated components of the product, listed above, are installed. During the installation process you may see references to all operating systems for which updates are provided in the hot fix. The installation process will determine the operating system and which component(s) of SAS IT Resource Management 3.3 require updating on the machine. See SAS Note 44810 for more details.

The hot fix will be applied 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 H33002pt.zip, follow the instructions for installing hot fixes in the SAS Deployment Wizard/SAS Deployment Manager 9.3: User's Guide.


The hot fix installation process generates the log file

<!SASHOME>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs/IT_date-and-time-stamp.log
for example, IT_2011-10-31-13.18.21.log. Each attempt to apply a hot fix results in the creation of a new log file giving detailed information regarding the installation process.

Postexec log files are created after the installation is completed and identifies the files that were added, backed up, changed and removed. These log files include the 'member' hot fix id in the name of the file and are also written to the <!SASHOME>/InstallMisc/InstallLogs directory. There is one postexec log for each 'member' hot fix applied (member hot fixes are listed at the top of these instructions).

Update SAS IT Resource Management Metadata

In order for this step to execute correctly, the Metadata Server must be running. Please start your Metadata Server now.

You should be logged into the machine hosting your SAS IT Resource Management SAS Application Server using the same userid that was used for both your original and hot fix installations.

Ensure that an X11 DISPLAY variable has been properly set and exported. Also inspect the level_env.sh script file located

<SAS Configuration Directory>/Level
to confirm whether a JDK_HOME environment variable is being defined. If you do not see a line specifying "JDK_HOME=" then you need to set the JDK_HOME variable from the command line prior to invoking the script specified below. The setting should be to an installed, compatible JDK, and should not include the "/bin" portion of the path.

Change directory to the installation location of the SAS IT Resource Management Data Tier component. This should be

<SASHOME>SASITResourceManagementDataTier/3.3

The script to update the SAS IT Resource Management metadata is named applyHotFix_mvs.sh and it requires two positional parameters to be passed to it. The first is the password for the SAS administrative user id. The second is the SAS Configuration Directory path including the Level subdirectory. The syntax for invoking this script is:

applyHotFix_mvs.sh <metaPass> <SASConfigDir>
For example,
applyHotFix_mvs.sh AdminAdmin1 /install/ITRM33/Lev1
Note: if your configuration directory path contains a space (embedded blank) you must enclose the entire path in double quotes ("path with blanks").

During the execution of this script you should see messages similar to the following output to your shell:

Output from this script is redirected to the log file: itrmhotfix.log

Buildfile: /install/SAS/SASITResourceManagementDataTier/3.3/Config/itrmhotfix.xml

applyHotFix_mvs.sh has completed.
and the output from this task will be written to the itrmhotfix.log file. This log file is located in the same directory that the script was invoked from.

After successful execution the final lines of this log file will be similar to:

BUILD SUCCESSFUL
Total time: 45 seconds
Note: If you do not see the BUILD SUCCESSFUL message you should contact SAS Technical Support.


This completes the installation of hot fix H33002 on z/OS.
