GenerateToken issue in SAS Viya

sathya66 — Wed, 21 Apr 2021 12:29:09 GMT

Hi All,
trying to generate a token by using below code but it is timing out. any idea?
what is base URL? is it where we use URL to connect to SAS Viya?
sas.demo.com IP address is different than below Ips (10.11.11.123 or 10.11.11.122)
ERROR: Error connecting to 10.11.11.123.(The connection has timed out)
ERROR: Error connecting to 10.11.11.122.(The connection has timed out)
ERROR:Unable to establish connection to sas.demo.com.
ERROR:Unable to connect to Web server

Happy to share more logs

%macro GenerateToken(user = , pw = , baseURL = );
/* ======================================= 1: Generate token ======================================= */
%let _tokenURL=%nrbquote(&baseURL./SASLogon/oauth/token?grant_type=password%nrstr(&)username=&user%nrstr(&)password=&pw);
options noquotelenmax;

%mend;
%GenerateToken(user=test_user, pw=Welcome, baseURL=https://sas.demo.com);

Hi @sathya66,

Yes, baseURL would need to match the value of your SAS server URL. In the sample code baseURL=https://sas.demo.com is where you would substitute your server value (you'd also need to use YOUR user and pw as well).

Thanks for this,

I sorted this.

by doing

the server details
consul token
user id and passwords.

Created a client/secret pair on the server that will be used to generate the authorisation token for the API calls
