message as follows:
Authentication to XXXX(some X server) scheduling server failed.Please retry.
I have tried to check with with sasdemo and sasadm users but still i get the same errors.Any helps please.

I don't even have any log files at Batch server directory to trace the exact reason.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks,

What operating system are you on, and what scheduling server are you using?
Please read the appropriate documentation for your situation.
Link to Windows/AT:
http://support.sas.com/documentation/cdl/en/scheduleug/61559/HTML/default/viewer.htm#n05akp7m9jxhzfn1coz5nepy7zxf.htm

Which states the following:
- The user ID under which the job will be run must have Local Administration rights. To grant these rights, you must add the user to the Administrators Group.
- Windows scheduling executes jobs using the Windows Task Scheduler. As a default, the scheduled tasks execute using the LOCAL SYSTEM user account. Therefore, scheduled jobs have full and open access to the machine.

Have you gone through all this documentation, and doing the set up/cinfiguration accordingly?
If so, I suggest that you look in appropriate log files to see where your authentication fails.

Hi Do you have the error when scheduling from SMC (ie run once option) or from LSF.

If from SMC, does the user have an associated LSF user id ie. can the user access LSF. You need to use a user id that is set up in LSF, ie LSFAdmin or LSFuser or another if setup.

SASDemo and sasadm, generally can't schedule by default.
