The Object Spawner (objspawn) does not pick up the threaded kernel hot fixes that are located under the
!SASROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory. This directory is referenced in the Object Spawner startup script, ObjectSpawner.sh, as the $SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory.

During the process of applying a hot fix, the location of the hotfix directory is correctly patched to the objspawn executable with a value similar to the following:

   /SAS_9.1/hotfix/sasexe:/SAS/SAS_9.1/sasexe:/SAS/SAS_9.1/utilities/bin

The patched value in objspawn is overwritten, however, when the ObjectSpawner.sh script sources the
!SASROOT/SAS_9.1/bin/sasenv file. Because the sasenv file contains a setting for TKPATH that does not include the $SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/hotfix/sasexe directory, the threaded kernel hot fixes are not picked up, The sasenv file looks like this:

# Environmental variable to define location of SAS
   if [ "$TKPATH" != "" ] ; then
       TKPATH=$TKPATH:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/sasexe:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/utilities/bin
   else
       TKPATH=$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/sasexe:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/utilities/bin
   fi
   export TKPATH

To allow the Object Spawner to pick up the threaded kernel hot fixes, you must modify the sasenv file so that it includes the following paths:

# Environmental variable to define location of SAS
   if [ "$TKPATH" != "" ] ; then
       TKPATH=$TKPATH:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/hotfix/sasexe:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/sasexe:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/utilities/bin
   else
       TKPATH=$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/hotfix/sasexe:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/sasexe:$SAS_INSTALL_ROOT/utilities/bin
   fi
   export TKPATH
