Proc Infomaps log in exception

John_Wick — Fri, 14 Mar 2025 09:44:27 GMT

Hello, experts!

I have problem with running proc infomaps. When I run simple code like:

proc infomaps;
run;

Then I get error:

Top Exception:
[ com.sas.services.deployment.ServiceDeploymentException: A SAS foundation service failed to deploy. ]

[ com.sas.services.ServiceException: Unable to obtain service from factory class com.sas.services.user.UserServiceFactory. ]
[ java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/sas/services/security/login/ExpiredCredentialException ]

Root Exception: [ java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: com.sas.services.security.login.ExpiredCredentialException ] 
ERROR: The procedure was unable to log in the user.

Is there a way to understand why the error is happening and fix it?

Is this the first time you have tried INFOMAPS or was it working and now it isn't? If you are running this on a SAS server then you should raise this problem with your SAS administrator as it looks like a Java credentials problem that most likely needs admin access to fix.

Check out the on-line doc https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/engimap/p1vttzvwzxwsa4n1km13s88rb797.htm

If you have SAS Metadata Server running, you would need to supply connection credentials. Check the examples from the link above

Alternatively, you would need to specify the following SAS System options prior to call the procedure

/* Set system options for connecting to the metadata server. */
options metauser="myUserID"
        metapass="myPassword"
        metaserver="myserver.mycompany.com"
        metaport=8561;
/* Assign a macro variable to store the path for the folder */
/* that contains information maps (to avoid having to set   */
/* the path multiple times).                                */
%LET infomap_path=/Shared Data;

Hope this helps
