Wow. Have I learned my lesson. We had ordered a new SAS access to Oracle provide from SAS. They sent the software and I decided to load it on the SAS server from the SAS DVD's they sent me. Sounds like the right way to go doesn't. So that is what I did. It was 5 DVD to be loaded onto our Virtual server and it was going to take some time to do it. How Should I have loaded that software?
Now I know I should have go into the SAS Deployment Wizard and Add to my current SAS Depot the new software. That will update all the files correctly in the SAS Software Depot. Then I can install the software from the Depot and everything works like it should. How did I find out about this. I tried to reload some SAS software from my Depot and the SAS system saw that the order number I was currently using was not in the SAS Depot. Hence the problem. I also understand that I need to put the SID files for license renewals also in the SAS Depot.
On another note I tried installing some Webtier hotfixes and ran into the same problem. Valuable lesson learned. This SAS note helped me with that install. http://support.sas.com/kb/40/396.html
