Cannot execute viewregistry utility

[saspert]

Hello,

We have SAS9.4M4 on Windows NT 2012 servers. Midtier, compute and metadata are all on separate servers. I tried to look up the past hotfixes but cannot run viewregistry utility in the /deploymentreg/ folder (either manually or from command line). Any suggestions on how to fix this? I tried lookup for the Junit Jar file but not too sure if it is related or needed. 

Thanks,

saspert

Hi @saspert 

How are you running the registry and what is the error you are seeing?

@Anand_V  Thanks for sharing the article. I navigate to the deploymentreg folder using CMD on the windows NT server and run the following command.

E:\>cd E:\SASHome\deploymntreg

E:\SASHome\deploymntreg>java -jar sas.tools.viewregistry.jar

You will have to configure your JAVA_HOME environment variable or use the full path to your java executable.

You can also use java installed with SAS. Example:

"E:\SASHome\SASPrivateJavaRuntimeEnvironment\9.4\jre\bin\java" -jar sas.tools.viewregistry.jar
