SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

ppapirny — Thu, 30 Oct 2014 14:29:12 GMT

Hi,

I installed and configured a SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier without errors but when I tried to start the application via html-Link how it was described in the instructions.html I got the message:

HTTP Status 404 - /SASStudio

type Status report

message /SASStudio

description The requested resource is not available.

VMware vFabric tc Runtime 2.8.0.RELEASE/7.0.30.A.RELEASE

I guess that something wasn't deployed on the Server but all Installation- and Configuration-Logs are ok.

Regards,

Patrick

At a guess I suggest you check to see if all SAS services are running on your SAS midtier (web) server. If they are not running the easiest way to restart would be to reboot the server.

It is telling that the SASstudio folder as part of the javacontainer is not there.

Did you redeploy that part? and after that restarted the services (no need to boot the machine)

All services are running correctly and when I take the server-address without /sasstudio I get the following webpages:

Port 80: Welcome to SAS 9.4 -> Congratulations! You have successfully set up SAS Web Server

Port 8080: Welcome to SAS 9.l4 -> Congratulations! You have successfully set up SAS Web Application Server

Hi Jaap,

this is the problem. The folder is not deployed in the container but I don't know why. I redeployed SASStudio without errors but it doesn't work.

I have not yet played around with 9.4, but I suspect the web server is apache. Apache is usually configured with the httpd.conf file, so I suggest you look for that. This either includes a mod_jk.conf file or has the directives for apache to reroute certain pathes to the web application server. /SASStudio may be missing there, so the web server issues a simple page not found error (the 404).

Hi Kurt,

but what kind of source do I have to route to the webServer? The only thing I can find for sasstudio is a "sas.sasstudio.war" which is located in the directory "C:\SAS\Config\Lev2\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer1_1\sas_webapps"

How did you try to access SASStudio? Have you tried http://server_ip:8080/SASStudio ?

I notice you're configuring into Lev2, is it possible there is another tcServer running in Lev1 on port 8080, without SASStudio present?

Re: SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

ppapirny — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:30:12 GMT

I tried both http://server:80/SASStudio and http://server:8080/SASStudio

Re: SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

ppapirny — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:35:45 GMT

no, there is only a Lev2 on the server

Re: SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

dpage — Wed, 05 Nov 2014 14:45:04 GMT

Do you have a SASStudio.xml in Lev2/Web/WebAppServer/conf/Catalina/localhost ?

Do you have a log in Lev2/Web/Logs/SASServer1_1/SASStudioMidTier3.2.log ?

Is it possible your server is setup for multiple managed servers, and it's really on server2, at 8180?

The webserver en java container with 9.4 are coming as of VMfabric Vmware is referering to Apache and TC for those.

A war and ear file are just constructs using a zip structure to get a dedicated folder structure and content in the java container and related items.

If we are on this:

- "this is the problem. The folder is not deployed in the container but I don't know why. I redeployed SASStudio without errors but it doesn't work".

It could without errors when the deploying (unzipping) was done with a wrong input-file (that ware/ear) or a wrong destiniation.

Any checks on those?

The SASStudio.xml is there and has the following content:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

-<Context path="/SASStudio" docBase="../sas_webapps/sas.sasstudio.war"><ResourceLink type="javax.sql.DataSource" name="jdbc/SASAPP" global="sas/jdbc/SharedServices"/></Context>

I have no log....

What do you mean with multiple managed servers? I installed the DI and BI as a 2-machine installation. Server-tier and Mid-Tier are on the same Machine.

Re: SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

dpage — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 11:50:39 GMT

That confirms the context root should be SASStudio. Does host:8080/SASAdmin come up?

As far as multiple managed servers, you can split the WARs into multiple tomcat instances, you would see SASServer1_1, SASServer2_1, etc. I wanted to make sure we were looking at the right server.

Are there any logs in Web/Logs/SASServer1_1 or Web/WebAppServer/SASServer1_1/logs ? The server.log from the latter may contain information about why sas studio failed to deploy if that's what's going on.

ppapirny — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 14:22:30 GMT

host:8080/SASAdmin don't come up, too!!

In Web/Logs/SASServer1_1 are only 2 short logs of the Environment Manager

In the server.log are following statements:

2014-11-05 09:04:10,421 ERROR (localhost-startStop-4) [org.apache.catalina.startup.HostConfig] Error deploying configuration descriptor C:\SAS\Config\Lev2\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer1_1\conf\Catalina\localhost\SASStudio.xml

java.lang.IllegalStateException: ContainerBase.addChild: start: org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/SASStudio]]

So there are overall problems with your server1. Can you share the entire log?

Re: SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

JuanS_OCS — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 16:47:42 GMT

Any chance that your Content Server is also not Up and running?

I agree that to have additional information from the original log file would be plenty of useful (on Web\Logs\SASServer1_1), and also at first step I would validate from the SASMC your SAS Content Server

Re: SAS 9.4 Enterprise BI -> Deployment of SAS Studio 3.1 MidTier

jakarman — Thu, 06 Nov 2014 19:03:02 GMT

something is not running: java.lang.IllegalStateException

Signals that a method has been invoked at an illegal or inappropriate time. In other words, the Java environment or Java application is not in an appropriate state for the requested operation.

The other part is a generic one you can find a lot of those (out of sas) eg: Tomcat Lifecycle exception or java - org.apache.catalina.LifecycleException: Failed to start component [StandardEngine[Catalina].StandardHost[localhost].StandardContext[/CollegeWebsite]] - Stack Overflow and many more reasons (even content server)

How can I send you the log? I guess there are several problems in my instalation....
