POST-INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

1. Navigate to <SASHome>/SASEnvironmentManagerAgent/2.1/hotfix
   • On Unix systems: execute the following command as root or sudo

     chmod 775 *

   • Execute the following command:

     sasevagent21_jarfix-aix.sh <SASHome location>

     where <SASHome location> is the full path to SASHome

   • Examine sasevagent21_jarfix.log located in the directory where the tool was executed. The log will contain the configuration directories the tool found specified with the text (SASCONFIG: ). If you have an installation where there are multiple configuration directories and one or more are missing from the log, re-execute the sasevagent21_jarfix-aix.sh tool and specify both SASHome and the SAS Configuration directory.

     For example:

     sasevagent21_jarfix-aix.sh <SASHome location> <SAS Configuration location>

     Note: The tool can safely be run multiple times.

     Any errors that are found will be written to the error log located in the same directory that the code is executed from.
