Hi folks, 

 

We have installed SAS 9.4 M6 (early version) on our Linux Server. We have SAS EG, SAS Visual Analytics and Risk and Finance Workbench. One question: after run update softwares, is it necessary to rerun configuration?

Hi @MariaD ,

 

by default the UIP process has 2 main stages: upgrade binaries and upgrade configuration. If you see the steps are taking care of the second step, you will not need to Reconfigure the level or to rebuild/redeploy unless you have important posterior customisations to add.


Best regards,

Thanks @JuanS_OCS . I updated the binaries without any error. After that, I tried to login on SAS VA (we have https) but I had a 404 error although https://server:8343 is ok. 

 

After that, stop all services (except Metadata) and tried to upgrade the configuration files using to Deployment Manager. Following all the steps and everything execute fine but again, when I tried to login on SAS VA the same 404 error appears. 

 

So, I think the only solution will be rename de Lev1 folder and reconfigure all. Any other idea?

 

Regards.

Hi there,

did you check your log files?

I would say that some of your post-configurations are failing, as example SSL. If SSL was applied to your platform after deployment, might be the case that:

- you might need to update the certificates in SAS Web Server and/or the SAS Private JREs
- one or more configurations rolled back: server.xml, Metadata, sas-environment.xml, etc

This being said, it calls my attention that you received no error during the UIP or the re-config with SDM, which makes me to think your UIP might be fundamentally correct. So...

Did you check if all your services are UP and no error messages in the logs? Specially the Cache Locator.

Hi @JuanS_OCS ,

 

I review everthing and I decide to restore a binaries and config files and process all again. After I updated the binaries files, I run sasdm.sh from SASDeploymentManager/9.4. 

 

Now, the following error appear on "Updating SAS Flex Application Themes".  Any idea what is going on?

Caused by: /sas/software/SASDeploymentManager/9.4/products/cfgwizard__xxxxx__prt__xx__sp0__1/Utilities/loadMetadata.xml:2061: Unable to delete the metadata object(s): /System/Applications/SAS Theme Designer for Flex/Theme Designer for Flex

 

After that error, I have only the options to "Retry" or "Abort". If I select "Retry", the same error occurs.

Hi @MariaD ,

 

are you sure the SDW UIP did not update already the configuration? That could explain why SDM tries to remove a metadata object that seems to not be there anymore.
