Note: The
tar command
is the recommended method for copying and moving a SAS deployment
in UNIX because this command preserves the date-and-time stamps on
the files. This information is relevant only if you used the
cp command
without the
-p option (which is required
to preserve the date-and-time stamps on your files) to copy your SAS
deployment from one location to another.
The installation for
a maintenance release uses the date-and-time stamps for some non-versioned
files to determine whether the files need to be updated. If you copied
a deployment of SAS 9.3 (using the
cp command
without the
-p option), then the maintenance
release might not install properly. The date-and-time stamps on the
copied files might be different from the deployment that was installed
using the SAS Deployment Wizard. In order for the maintenance release
to install correctly, the date-and-time stamps on the copied files
must be July 12, 2011.
To change the date-and-time
stamps on your files to July 12, 2011, enter the following command
from the SAS installation directory:
find . | xargs touch -t 201107120000.00
You must run this UNIX
command under the user ID that was used to install SAS 9.3. You can
modify the attributes of these SAS files under that user ID only.
