SAS Hot Fix Analysis, Download and Deployment (SASHFADD) Tool

Instructions for manually downloading

SAS9[3-4]_HFADD_data.xml

using Microsoft Windows PowerShell

1. Launch "PowerShell" on your Windows machine.

2. Copy and paste the following command into PowerShell:

powershell -Command [Net.ServicePointManager]::SecurityProtocol = [Net.SecurityProtocolType]::Tls12;$ProgressPreference = 'SilentlyContinue';Invoke-WebRequest -Uri "https://tshf.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/util01/SASHotFixDLM/data/SAS94_HFADD_data.xml" -outfile "C:\Program Files\SAS\SASHFADD\SAS94_HFADD_data.xml"

Important (1): The highlighted path above places SAS94_HFADD_data.xml in the default install location for SASHFADD on Windows. You can change this path to point to a different directory where SASHFADD is installed on your machine or to point to any another directory where you have Write permission.

Important (2): If you are running SAS 9.3, you should replace both instances of "SAS94_HFADD_data.xml" with "SAS93_HFADD_data.xml" in the above command.

3. Run the PowerShell command to download the SASHFADD data.

4. In the SASHFADD.cfg file, uncomment -HOT_FIX_DATA_FILE_MANUAL_DOWNLOAD and then save the updated SASHFADD.cfg file. This step prevents SASHFADD from attempting download the SAS9[3-4]_HFADD_data.xml file again.

5. Run SASHFADD.
