SAS 9.3 Guide to Software Updates

70 Chapter 12 / Installing a Software Update
Note to Review Before You Install
Depending on your environment, one or more of the following notes might apply to your
site:
n When installing SAS 9.3 in a multiple machine deployment, you must install SAS 9.3
on the servers in a specific order. For more information, see “Installation Order
Rules for Multiple Machine Deployments” in Chapter 5 of SAS Intelligence Platform:
Installation and Configuration Guide.
n When you are performing a new deployment on a UNIX system, the SAS
Deployment Wizard prompts you to run setuid.sh as root (or sudo) before
configuration. Certain SAS products and features use functionality that requires SAS
to check user ID authentication and file access authorizations. This requirement
necessitates that certain files within your SAS installation have setuid permissions
and be owned by root.
In the second maintenance release for SAS 9.3, files that must be setuid are
updated. Therefore, setuid must be run a second time.
If your site has a custom sasauth file that is supplied by SAS, as a best practice,
store a backup of this file in a location other than SAS-installation-directory/
SASFoundation/9.3/utilites/bin or SASHome/SASFoundation/9.3/
utilites/bin/setuid.
n If you are updating a deployment that runs on z/OS, you must update the
deployment in the same order that you installed SAS in your initial deployment. For
more information, see http://support.sas.com/documentation/installcenter/93/mvs/
index.html.
Before you can start the SAS Deployment Wizard, the cell where you are going to
perform the software upgrade must be running.
n To specify a different version of the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) that you want
to use with the SAS Java applications, see “Specify a Different JRE” in Chapter 3 of
SAS Intelligence Platform: Installation and Configuration Guide.
