The hot fix for SAS Strategy Management 5.6 and SAS Strategy Management 5.6_M1 provides resolutions for the following functional issues:

1. You are actively working in a SAS Strategy Management data-entry form in the Performance Data-Entry portlet and the following message is displayed:

   Your session has timed out. 
   For increased security, close your browser.

2. You run the SAS Strategy Management %PROJCALC macro and the following error occurs in the log even though the macro calculates successfully:
   2014-08-20 16:11:58,076 [pool-9-thread-1] - ERROR: user x was not found.
3. You run the SAS Strategy Management %STMBMF macro with the following specified:
   action=modify
   attribute=the-attribute-data-file (for example, attribute=C:\Project1\Project1_Attribute.csv)

   The Project1_Attribute.csv file also specifies an updated Value and the Original Element Type Attribute ID, which enables you to update an element's association. The following error occurs:

   action=modify
   rule=the-rule-data-file (for example, rule=C:\Project1\Project1_Rule.csv)

   The Project1_Rule.csv file also specifies the Keyword of RuleAssociation, which enables you to associate a Rule ID to an Element ID.
