Review the List of Products at Your Site

Before you apply a software update to your site, review the list of products that will be updated on a machine. From the SAS Deployment Wizard, generate a list of the product updates that SAS will apply to the current machine. This list of product updates could vary for each machine at your site, so it is important that you generate this list on every machine that runs SAS 9.3.

Note: If no product updates are required for a machine, then you will not see a list of product updates, and your installation of the product upgrade or maintenance release is complete on that machine.

To view SAS products that will be updated on a machine:

Run the SAS Deployment Wizard from the software depot that contains your SAS 9.3 installation. You must use the same user ID that you used to install SAS 9.3.

Note: In a Windows environment, you must be an administrator to run the SAS Deployment Wizard, but you do not have to use the same user ID that you used to install SAS 9.3. In UNIX environments, you must use the same user ID that you used to install SAS 9.3. For both operating environments, the SDW_yyyy-mm-dd-hh.mm.ss.log file lists the ID for the current user.

From the highest-level directory in your SAS Software Depot, start the SAS Deployment Wizard by using the command for your operating environment.

How to Start the SAS Deployment Wizard
Operating System	Start-up Commands for the SAS Deployment Wizard
Windows	setup.exe –record Note: If you are running Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows Server 2008, you might have to right-click on the setup.exe file and select Run as administrator.
UNIX	setup.sh –record
z/OS	setup.rexx –record To use a temporary directory other than `/tmp`, specify `– –templocation new-temp-dir`.

In the Review Required Updates step, click Print to print the list of required updates for the current machine. (Alternatively, you can copy and paste this content into another document, such as an e-mail.) Review the list of products in the Update Summary section.

Note: If no product updates are required, then the list of required updates does not appear, and you can exit the SAS Deployment Wizard.
Because you are not installing any software at this time, click Cancel to exit the SAS Deployment Wizard.

After reviewing the contents of the list of required updates and assessing the effect on products at your site, you can install these product updates by restarting the SAS Deployment Wizard.

Note: When you exit the SAS Deployment Wizard, the list of product updates is not saved. When you install the software, a Deployment Summary for the installation (which contains this list of product updates) is saved to the SAS-installation-directory/InstallMisc/InstallLogs directory.
