Error in SAS Viya4 on Openshift cluster using manual method

thesasuser — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 19:21:00 GMT

Hello
I have been trying to deploy SAS Viya4 on open shift using the manual method ( SAS Help Center: Deploy the Software , https://learn.sas.com/course/view.php?id=6945 )
I get stuck up at this step:
oc apply --selector="sas.com/admin=namespace" -f site.yaml --prune
The output says "error: no objects passed to apply"
Wondering if anybody can enlighten/guide on this?
Thanks

Hi, is there a reason you are using oc apply instead of kubectl apply?

Did you build your site.yaml by using kustomize build -o site.yaml ?

I would try that then running from the directory where the site.yaml lives

kubectl apply --selector="sas.com/admin=cluster-api" --server-side --force-conflicts -f site.yaml

and lets see if the result is different.

I chose to deploy using the deployment operator method as detailed here and it worked.
