For SAS^® 9.2 Phase 2 (TS2M0) and later, the installation of hot fixes is logged in the SAS Deployment Registry. A reporting utility named View Registry (sas.tools.viewregistry.jar) processes the deployment registry and generates a report named DeploymentRegistry.html. This report identifies all SAS 9.2 software that is installed in the current SASHOME location, including hot fixes.

Sample output is as follows:

____________________

A text file version of the report, DeploymentRegistry.txt is also produced. The HTML and TXT files are created in the SASHOME/deploymntreg directory.

To generate this report, follow these steps:

1. This utility is installed by default with SAS 9.2 TS2M2 or later in SASHOME/deploymntreg.

   
   If you are running a SAS 9.2 release prior to TS2M2, you can download sas.tools.viewregistry.jar. The file must be saved to the SASHOME/deploymntreg directory, and it must be saved with a .jar extension.




2. Requirements:
   • sas.tools.viewregistry.jar must be executed from the SASHOME/deploymntreg directory.
   • You must be running Java 5 or later.



3. Generate a deployment registry report using this utility:

   Windows:

   Launch sas.tools.viewregistry.jar.

   UNIX:

   Execute the JAR file. For example:

   java –jar sas.tools.viewregistry.jar

   Note: In order to run the reporting utility on UNIX systems, you must have Write permission to the SASHOME location because the resulting reports are written to this location.

   VMI:

   Execute the JAR file. For example:

   java –jar sas.tools.viewregistry.jar
