Problem Note 55036: Multiple configuration directories exist for SAS® Environment Manager after you update the software
 |  |  |  |
After you perform an update of SAS Environment Manager, you might notice the following:
- There are multiple directories for SAS Environment Manager Server and the agent.
- If you try to remove the SAS Environment Manager configuration, the removal fails because multiple folders exist.
- New plug-ins might seem to be missing because they are installed in the wrong location.
You do not receive any error messages with these events.
If the release of SAS Environment Manager stays the same during the update, SAS® Deployment Wizard creates backup folders before the update is performed. For example, you might have backups that are similar to the following:
- SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/agent-5.0.0-EE
SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/agent-backup_2015-01-01-2-38-24
- SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.0.0-EE
SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-backup_2015-01-01-2-38-24
After the update is complete, you can delete the backup directories.
If the release of SAS Environment Manager changes during the update, two folders will exist for the server, each with a different release number (server-release-number), as shown in the following example:
- Original folder: SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.0.0-EE
- New folder: SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.8.0-EE
New plug-ins might be deployed to the original folder instead of the new location. For example, the following plug-ins are place in the original folder (SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.0.0-EE/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-plugins/):
- emi-framework-plugin.jar
- emi-reportcenter-plugin.jar
- emi-snapshot-plugin.jar
In addition, the following JAR files are also placed in the original folder: SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.0.0-EE/hq-engine/hq-server/webapps/ROOT/WEB-INF/hq-plugins/emi_framework/lib/.
- sas.sasev.framework.common.jar
- sas.sasev.framework.plugins.common.jar
- sas.sasev.framework.plugins.impl.jar
Copy all of these files to the corresponding folder in the new location ((/server-5.8.0-EE) so that the related plug-ins will work. Then delete the old /server-5.0.0-EE folder.
