Your problem is likely to need further diagnosing so they are in the best position to help. SAS now includes a private JRE library and this is what SAS uses. Remnants of your previous installation may be pointing to other versions of Java.</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 21:33:30 GMT SASKiwi 2024-09-09T21:33:30Z ERROR: The ODS initializer failed to instantiate during SAS startup. https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/ERROR-The-ODS-initializer-failed-to-instantiate-during-SAS/m-p/943243#M29010 <P>The error message above is followed by another error message:</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>ERROR: Exception text: java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException</P><P>&nbsp;</P><P>Most of SAS statistics work except the ODS graphics which crash cause errors so that nothing else will run.&nbsp; I am running&nbsp; X64_10PRO WIN 10.0.19045 Workstation</P><P>All was running fine when the security folks told me that I had to reinstall SAS because of vulnerability.&nbsp; I did the reinstall and now I have the above problems.&nbsp; I did try the solution that was in note 55652 of disabling jabswitch, but it did not help.&nbsp; I seem to recall from some time ago with a previous version that there was a configuration file in SAS where I could point to the version of Java that I wanted it to use, but I don't recall where or even if that is relevant.&nbsp; Can anyone help me with this problem?</P><P>&nbsp;</P> Mon, 09 Sep 2024 21:24:34 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/ERROR-The-ODS-initializer-failed-to-instantiate-during-SAS/m-p/943243#M29010 dleduc 2024-09-09T21:24:34Z Re: ERROR: The ODS initializer failed to instantiate during SAS startup. https://communities.sas.com/t5/Administration-and-Deployment/ERROR-The-ODS-initializer-failed-to-instantiate-during-SAS/m-p/943244#M29011 <P>I suggest you open a track with SAS Tech Support (support.sas.com).
