If you have upgraded or migrated to SAS Strategy Management 5.3, you might encounter the following error when you click the Chain Link icon in a SAS Strategy Management diagram:

If you encounter this problem, perform the following steps:

Note: Back up the SAS Strategy Management database before you perform the following steps.

1. Log on to the tier that is running MySQL.
2. Open a command window.
3. Change directories to the MySQL bin directory (this directory is typically c:\mysql\bin).
4. Open the saslinkdecode.zip file and extract saslinkdecode.sql to the MySQL bin directory.
5. Start the MySQL command line:
   mysql -h{HOST} -u{USERID} -p{PASSWORD} < saslinkdecode.sql

   In this code:

   {HOST} = the host on which MySQL is running {USERID} = the user name used to administer MySQL (the default userID is sqladmin) {PASSWORD} = the password associated with the above userID

Note: If your host name is changed, you need to manually update your links via Manage Links in SAS Strategy Management Builder to reflect the new host name. To do this, perform the following steps:

1. Log on to the SAS Strategy Management Builder.
2. Select the project that you want to open.
3. Select Project from the menu.
4. Select Manage Links....
5. Right-click each link icon.
6. Select Edit to bring up the link Properties.
7. Modify Link Location to reflect the new host name.
8. Click OK to save your changes.
9. Repeat step 5 to step 8 for all links.
