Registry error while using SAS 9.3

Aditi24 — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 07:48:51 GMT

*VERSION - SAS 9.3

*OS - Windows 7
*Problem - I use 3 SAS sessions, but when I open the one marked as SAS2 I receive a warning:
WARNING: Unable to copy SASUSER registry to WORK registry. Because of this,
WARNING: you will not see registry customizations during this session;

Also, I had customized the toolbar by adding one more icon and that icon is not there when I open new sessions.

Please help me to get it resolved.

Your customization data resides in a catalog within your SASUSER library. To work with that, SAS needs exclusive access to this catalog.

So any additional session after your first one will not be able to access the customizations.

This SAS note appears to address your problem:

Setting your SASUSER library to readonly will most likely fix your problem.
