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, I9S005x6.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 I9S005x6.zip on each machine or save it in a network location that is accessible to all machines.

Do NOT extract the contents of I9S005x6.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. You must have Administrator Privileges on your CLIENT or SERVER machine.

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

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

5. 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 hot fix will be applied 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 I9S005x6.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 hot fix installation process generates the log file

<!SASHOME>\InstallMisc\InstallLogs\IT_date-and-time-stamp.log

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).

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

POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Required only for distributed deployments:

1. Copy <SASHOME>/SASFoundation/9.4/cmp/sasmisc/TKGrid_HF_x86_64_tkcmp04.sh grid hot fix installer to the parent directory of the existing TKGrid installation on the first node of the computing appliance.

2. Log in to the first node of the computing appliance and run the following (modify path to match your installation location):

   $ umask 022
   $ cd /install
   $ /bin/sh ./TKGrid_HF_x86_64_tkcmp04.sh

   You should see the following:

   Verifying archive integrity... All good.
   Uncompressing TKGrid...........
   running TKGrid/bin_tkcmp_04/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)
   

3. Check with your grid install team to determine if the computing appliance uses a replicated or shared approach. Answer the question accordingly and proceed with the computing appliance update. If necessary, respond with YES to confirm the software update on all of the other computing appliance nodes.

   The updated shared libraries will be located in the /install/TKGrid/lib_tkcmp_04 folder.
   If necessary, the permissions on the /install/TKGrid folder for all computing appliance nodes may need to be updated for group read/write permissions.

4. Check with your grid install team to determine if the computing appliance uses a replicated or shared approach for TKGrid_REP. If so, follow these steps to update the tkmpirsh.sh file in TKGrid_REP deployment.

5. Edit the TKGrid_REP/tkmpirsh.sh file

6. Search for the first reference of "export TKPATH=" in the file, for example you may something like this:

   export TKERSA2_LIB_PATH=$TKMPI_DIR/lib2
   export TKPATH=$TKPATH:$TKMPI_DIR/lib2
   export TKPATH=$TKPATH:$TKMPI_DIR/lib:$TKMPI_DIR/bin
   

7. Before the first "export TKPATH=" line, insert the following line:

   export TKPATH=$TKPATH:$TKMPI_DIR/lib_tkcmp_04

8. Once the new line has been inserted, save the updated file. It may look something like this:

   export TKERSA2_LIB_PATH=$TKMPI_DIR/lib2
   export TKPATH=$TKPATH:$TKMPI_DIR/lib_tkcmp_04
   export TKPATH=$TKPATH:$TKMPI_DIR/lib2
   export TKPATH=$TKPATH:$TKMPI_DIR/lib:$TKMPI_DIR/bin
   

9. If the TKGrid_REP is replicated, push the updated file out to the other nodes in the computing appliance with simcp:

   /opt/TKGrid/bin/simcp /opt/TKGrid_REP/tkmpirsh.sh /opt/TKGrid_REP

This completes the installation of hot fix I9S005 on Windows for x64.
