Invalid grid resource was requested in Grid

[sathya66]

I tried to submit a job in EG but getting below ERROR if I remove RSUBMIT it will work. 
https://support.sas.com/rnd/scalability/grid/PlatformSuiteForSASDebugging.pdf

on 4th page from above link looks useful but not sure how to define a SASApp server in the lsf.shared file.

something like this

SASApp Boolean () () ()

27         
28         %let RC = %SYSFUNC(grdsvc_enable(_all_,Server=SASApp));
29         OPTIONS AUTOSIGNON;
30         RSUBMIT  MySes1 WAIT=NO;
NOTE: Remote session ID MYSES1 will use the grid service _ALL_.
ERROR: An invalid grid resource was requested or the resource was not associated with any grid node.
ERROR: A communication subsystem partner link setup request failure has occurred.
ERROR: Could not start grid job or grid job failed.
NOTE: Subsequent lines will be ignored until ENDRSUBMIT.

This looks like you have something invalid configured in the SASApp grid server configuration in SAS Management Console under required resources. The submission is including a resource requirement that is either not defined in the grid at all or is not associated with any grid node. By default the required resource there is for "SASApp" is defined during deployment, you can see what resources are associated with your grid hosts in the output of the lshosts command:

$ lshosts -w
HOST_NAME type model cpuf ncpus maxmem maxswp server RESOURCES
compute-01.example.com X86_64 Intel_EM64T 60.0 2 31.9G 3.9G Yes (mg SASApp SASAppVA node1 SASAppFM)
compute-02.example.com X86_64 Intel_EM64T 60.0 2 15.9G 3.9G Yes (mg SASApp)
compute-03.example.com X86_64 Intel_EM64T 60.0 2 15.9G 3.9G Yes (mg SASApp)

Thanks,

Yes, SASApp is missing in the resources. I have added SASApp to the resources and restarted. Now working fine 

• lsadmin reconfig to reconfigure LIM
• badmin mbdrestart to restart mbatchd
• lsadmin limrestart to restart LIM (on all changed non-management hosts)

but on SMC

where can I find this option "This looks like you have something invalid configured in the SASApp grid server configuration in SAS Management Console under required resources"

The required resources field is in the properties for the Grid Server in SAS Management Console -> Server Manager -> SASApp -> SASApp - Grid Server. It would be "SASApp" by default (so if SASApp was not configured as a resource you would encounter that error).
