What is a hot fix?
A hot fix is a software update released by the SAS Institute that addresses known problems with your SAS system. Depending on the level of severity, hot fixes may include:
- critical and frequently recurring problems that need to be solved
- immediate problems in your system that require a quick fix
- commonly recurring problems which can be solved by an essential fix
To identify what hot fixes are available for your SAS environment you need know what SAS products are installed, and exactly what versions those underlying products are. This can be daunting to try and do manually which is why we have developed a free service for this purpose.
