Do you see the following exception in the log:
[stCreateMetadata] User Context: creating login credentials using one-time password.
[stCreateMetadata] EXCEPTION: Failed to start the server.
BUILD FAILED
Event Viewer log for Windows: SAS Error Event: SAS is exiting through vaterm() with this exit code: 11
If yes, perform the following:
Locate the sasv9.cfg in !SASROOT\sasv9.cfg file (Windows C:\Program Files\SAS\SASFoundation\9.2\sasv9.cfg), check the permissions and make sure the match the permission for the language-specific sasv9.cfg files (i.e EN, 1D, and U8).
In my case, the users group was not added to the language-specific sasv9.cfg files. After adding the USERS group, I retried the SDW again and the spawners started successfully.
Cheers,
