Problem Note 67714: The middle tier fails for the AIX environment in the SASĀ® Deployment Wizard "Load Content" stage of the "SAS Environment Manager Configuration" step
In SAS Deployment Wizard, the middle-tier configuration fails for the AIX operating environment. This failure occurs in the Load Content stage of the SAS Environment Manager Configuration step.

When this problem occurs, the following error is displayed in the vfabrchyperc_loadContent_date_time.log file:
INFO com.sas.appserver.utils.AntProcessInvoker - Working Directory: SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.8.0-EE/hqapi1-client-6.0.2/bin

To resolve the issue:
- Back up the hqapi.sh script, which resides in the SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/server-5.8.0-EE/hqapi1-client-6.0.2/bin directory. The script looks like this:
$HQ_JAVA -Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2 -Dhqapi.logDir=$HQAPILOGDIR -cp $CLASSPATH org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.tools.Shell "$@"
- Modify that script by adding the two properties shown in red below:
$HQ_JAVA -Djdk.tls.client.protocols=TLSv1.2 -Dcom.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultProtocol=TLSv12 -Dcom.ibm.jsse2.overrideDefaultTLS=true -Dhqapi.logDir=$HQAPILOGDIR -cp $CLASSPATH org.hyperic.hq.hqapi1.tools.Shell "$@"
- Retry the failed step in SAS Deployment Wizard.
