SAS Deployment Manager Error

[David_paul]

Folks,

We are unable to launch SAS deployment manager in SAS 9.2 on AIX server. I can open the sasmc without any issue. I have activated the x11 on the putty.

However when we open the sdm its throws the below error.

Error: Missing /opt/SAS/SAS92/SASDeploymentManager/9.2/products/xxxxxxxx/../../setup.dat.

Do you have write permission on the /tmp directory? Usually when you launch SDM or SDW there is a tmp directory created as the process is launched.

@Anand_V 

Yes, user has the access to /temp dir at root level. User has admin rights.

As per sdm script deploywiz.sh, seems like this script throwing error at this condition.

1) ERROR:Missing......:
# Test for an INI file paired with the shell script (by script name)
inifile="`locate_data_file "$startuplocation/$script" ".ini"`"
if [ ! "$inifile" ] ; then
$echo "Error: Missing $script.ini."

2) ERROR:Missing......:

# Parse the master properties file if it exists

if [ "$PROPERTY_MASTERPROP" ] ; then
# The path to the master property file may be relative or absolute
if [ ! "`set -f ; $echo $PROPERTY_MASTERPROP | sed -n '/^\// {p;}'`" ] ; then
PROPERTY_MASTERPROP="$startuplocation/$PROPERTY_MASTERPROP"
fi

if [ -f "$PROPERTY_MASTERPROP" ] ; then
load_properties "$PROPERTY_MASTERPROP" properties
else
$echo "Error: Missing $PROPERTY_MASTERPROP."
exit 1
fi
fi

exit 1
fi

$PROPERTY_MASTERPROP should be pointing to your <sas-home>/sassw.config file.
$startuplocation/$script" ".ini"`" should be pointing to the sasdm.ini file in the same directory as sasdm.sh is located.

@David_paul ,

Something is wrong with your SAS Software Depot. I can't find right now the Depot Checker Utility for SAS 9.2, but most likely you have to download again the SAS Software Depot.

Thanks, I am not aware about sas depot location, Is there any to find out sas depot path?

[Timmy2383]

SAS Depot is just where you store your SAS software order at your site. The folder that contains (setup.sh and setup.exe in the main folder)

[David_paul]

Yes, I now this. But is there any way we can find location of sas depot from sashome dir?

[Timmy2383]

You can try going to the home directory of the installer account and looking at the previous logs generated by the SAS Deployment Wizard.

On my system, I sudo to installer account, then go to the ".SASAppData/SASDeploymentWizard" within the home directory. IN this directory there are logs from every time I ran the Wizard or Deployment Manager on that server. I have a "sdwpreferences.txt" file which has various values pointing to my Software Depot folder (like LastProjDir which points to the plan file I used for installation).

I also see it in all the "SDW_<date>_<timestamp>.log" logs. At the top it shows the command that was run. Mine looks like this:

INFO: Command Arguments: -startuplocation /sasdepot/9.4TS1M5_9BYCNN -templocation /tmp/_setup19272 -templocation /tmp/_setup19272
