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 W72005pt.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.

NOTES:

1. This fix adds support for a maximum file size for content server attachments. By default, only attachments under 100MB will be accepted.
   
   To change this property, set the value “monitor.rest.attachments.maxSize” in configdata.properties to the maximum size file that should be allowed, in megabytes.
   
   If the value is changed above the default of 100MB, you should also configure your SAS Content Server to use the “data store”. See the section titled “Enabling the Data Store” in the SAS 9.4 Middle-Tier Administration Guide.
   
   By default, for Internet Explorer, the limit is enforced in the application server, while Chrome and Firefox enforce it in the browser. For Internet Explorer 11, enforcement can be performed in the browser as long as it is not set to “Compatibility View”, and the following changes are made to the configuration. Edit the file “<SASCONFIGDIR>/Web/WebAppServer/SASServer8_1/sas_webapps/sas.modelriskmanagement.war/WEB-INF/spring-config/webapp-config.xml”. Change the following line:
          <sas-web:theme-support-filter id="themeSupportFilter"/>
          to
          <sas-web:theme-support-filter id="themeSupportFilter" ie-compatibility-mode="false"/>
   

2. This fix adds the ability to exclude specific business objects types from the task list table. To use this option, set the following property in configdata.properties:
   
          monitor.tasklist.excludedtypes=<values>
   
   where <values> is a comma-separated list of business object type names to exclude. For example “monitor.tasklist.excludedtypes=CustomObject7,TestPlan” will exclude tasks for custom object 7 and test plans from the task list. By default this property is not set, and no object types are excluded.

3. This fix adds the ability to exclude model review (audit) entries from the task list by status. To use this option, set the following property in confidata.properties:
   
          monitor.tasklist.exclude.Audit=<values>
   
   where <values> is a comma-separated list of status code values to exclude. For example “monitor.tasklist.exclude.Audit=CREATED” will exclude model review tasks for objects with a status value of “CREATED”. By default this property is not set, and no model review tasks are excluded.

4. This fix adds a CPB function “GetPendingLinkInstancesOfType()” that can be used to retrieve and count “pending” link instances in a validation block or in a finalize block. See the online function documentation for details.

5. If you have enabled dimensional browser security in the Model Risk Mgt Mid-Tier properties in the SMC (Application -> OL Chooser -> Enable Security within Dimension browser?), then you must add the following in the dimensionality.xml file on the SAS Content Server, under sasdav/Products/SASModelRisk/ModelRiskMgtMid-Tier/Config/dimensionality.xml.
   Under the existing “alias” entries, add the following:
   
           <alias new="RiskDriver" old="Cause"/>
   
   By default, dimensional browser security is disabled, and no action is needed.

This completes the installation of hot fix W72005 on Linux for x64.
