EM 14.2 and EM 15.1 clients on the same machine

Hi folks,

Currently we have 2 SAS Servers. One is Unix and has SAS 9.4M4 with Miner 14.2 and the other one has SAS 9.4 M6 with EM 15.1.

The problem is we need to maintain the access to the different EM version on the same client machine. So, in some case the user will use EM 14.2 connected to Unix and in other case, he use EM 15.1 connect to the new server. 

After installed the SAS EM 15.1 client, we duplicate the sassw.config file, so now we have one pointed to SAS EM 15.1 and other one pointed to EM 14.2. After that, we edited the "em.ini" inside EM 14.2 client folder and change the location of the master properties.

 When we tried to open SAS EM 14.2, the following error appears. We opened the SASENVIRONMENTURL link on browser on the client machine and it's open fine. 

Any better idea to maintain the two access in the same client machine?

IMO it's better to have two different set of sashome (sashome, sashome2) each for different version you wish to keep on the client machine.
