In UNIX environments, when you attempt to execute the initPortalData.sh script in order to update the metadata for the SAS^® Information Delivery Portal, the execution fails because of the following problems:

• The installer does not make the script an executable.
• There are syntax errors in the script for defining the CMD_TO_RUN variable and the CLASSPATH environment variable.
• Under AIX, the -Dsas.ext.config parameter and Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) are not defined.

To correct the problem, complete the following steps:

1. Use the chmod 755 UNIX command to set the initPortalData.sh script as an executable.
2. Click the Downloads tab in this note to download the new initPortalData.sh script. You must insert your site-specific paths for four paths in this script before you execute it. Also, verify the multicast port and address for your site.
3. For AIX, add the following parameters to the initPortalData.sh script:
   –Dsas.ext.config="/sas_installation_directory>/SASFoundationServices/9.2/sas.java.ext.config" \ –Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true \ –Djava.net.preferIPv6Addresses=false \

Note: In the first parameter above, sas_installation_directory must be replaced with your site-specific path to where SAS is installed.
