  • The SAS IT Resource Management Report Center is a SAS® Web Server application that you can configure to use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0. When it is configured to use SSL 3.0, SAS IT Resource Management Report Center is affected by the POODLE vulnerability as described in these documents:

    • https://www.us-cert.gov/ncas/alerts/TA14-290A
    • https://www.openssl.org/~bodo/ssl-poodle.pdf

    To disable SSL 3.0 in these servers, follow the instructions under the "SAS® Web Server Application" section in SAS Note 54376, "Disabling Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) 3.0 in SAS® Web Server, SAS® Web Application Server, and SAS® Environment Manager Server." When you run the default multiple-managed application server, the location of the server.xml file for the SAS IT Resource Management Report Center server instance is as follows:

    SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer10_1\conf

    For a single-managed application server, the location is as follows:

    SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer1_1\conf
  • To support the inclusion of MSU and MIPS columns in staged tables for the IBM SMF adapter, SAS IT Resource Management supplies an initial copy of a SAS data set that is called ITMS_SMF_LSPRDATA. Method 1 of the section "Methods for Including MIPS and MSU Columns in Staging Tables" in the SAS® IT Resource Management: Administrator's Guide (for your release of the product) provides SAS code to update the ITMS_SMF_LSPRDATA SAS data set using a URL. Sites that run z/OS V2 R1 and later should change the SAS code to reference the following URL:
    http://www-304.ibm.com/servers/resourcelink/lib03060.nsf/pages/lsprITRzOSv2r1?OpenDocument
  • As a best practice, you should not create IT data marts in a physical location where unrelated files or subdirectories exist. For more information, see SAS Note 52233, "Some files might be deleted inadvertently in a location where an IT data mart resides when you delete (erase) that data mart."
