Installation Note 40363: "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" error received when removing backup files after applying maintenance release SAS® 9.2 TS2M2
If you apply hot fixes after installing SAS
9.2 TS2M2 or applying
Maintenance 2 to
an existing installation, and you then attempt to run the script provided to remove
the backup files, you may receive a Java error similar to the following:
$ ./cleanup.sh
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sas/tools/maint/mit/cleaner/Cleaner
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sas.tools.maint.mit.cleaner.Cleaner
at java.net.URLClassLoader$1.run(Unknown Source)

Could not find the main class: com.sas.tools.maint.mit.cleaner.Cleaner. Program will exit.
$
The Maintenance Installation Tool (sas.tools.maint.mit.jar)
is included with every hot fix download, and the
problem arises because some of the hot fixes built for SAS 9.2 TS2M2
were packaged with an
older version of the MIT that does not include Cleaner.class, which should be
called from the cleanup.sh script.
To enable the cleanup.sh script to execute correctly,
download an updated version of the MIT from
the following location:
Replace the existing MIT .jar
file (<SASHOME>/InstallMisc/MIT/sas.tools.maint.mit.jar)
with the updated version.
