The launch of the server process failed because of a SAS kernel initialization failure

rabindrakumar1 — Tue, 28 Jul 2020 17:28:55 GMT

Hi,

When I am trying to validate the workspace sever from SMC, I am getting the below error:

The launch of the server process failed because of a SAS kernel initialization failure.

SEVERE: The launch of the server process failed because of a SAS kernel initialization failure.

I have done a diff between the correctly working SASApp1 and SASApp2, there is no difference in the files underlying in this path

"/opt/sas/config/compute/Lev1/SASApp1/" and "/opt/sas/config/compute/Lev1/SASApp2/"

The differneces are logical where it needs to have the server names are also correct. I have refresh the Object Swapner using Refersh of Application servers as well.

These basic troubleshooting didn't fix the issue.

Please help me to fix this issue.

Hi @rabindrakumar1 ,

I would ensure the permissions for some folders such as work and logs are set up correctly, for the users.

Have you tried to run /opt/sas/config/compute/Lev1/SASApp2/WorkspaceServer/WorkspaceServer.sh -nodms to check if this SAS session shows any oter more specific error?

Let us know, good luck

Best regards,

Juan

@rabindrakumar1 ,

Are you sure you can invoke the workspace server without problems? Run the following command in the Linux console:

/opt/sas/config/compute/Lev1/SASApp2/WorkspaceServer/WorkspaceServer.sh -nodms

Hi Juan,

Thanks for the inputs, indded I should have validated this way as well. I found the bug, the entry inside this file /opt/sas/config/compute/Lev1/SASApp2/sasv9_usermods.cfg was incorrectly defined
-MSGLEVEL = I6

It should be

-MSGLEVEL = I
