SAS Management console does not show properties of libraries/connections

[Filipvdr]

I can't see the properties of my library or my connection to SAP BW. We only have this on our production server, not on the others..

any idea's?

Hi @Filipvdr

First, you may want to check the log, available from %appdata%\SAS\SASManagementConsole\9.4

If there isn't any helpful information, please turn on debug with Usage Note 43157 (Capturing debugging messages from SAS® Management Console).

Overall, without jumping to conclusion, it's possible that the issue is caused by a corrupt resource template.

Before proceeding with below steps, please ensure you have a backup.

Once the backup has completed and you have verified that it was successful, please do the following:

1- Log into SAS Management Console as your unrestricted admin user (eg. sasadm@saspw).
2- Expand the Metadata Manager plug-in and click on the Resource Templates folder.
3- In the right pane, scroll down until you see the SAP Library template. Right-click on it and choose "Delete".
4- In the left pane, right-click on the Resource Templates folder and choose "Add Resource Template".
5- In the first screen of the wizard, leave "Typical" selected and click "Next".
6- In the next screen, expand Libraries, expand Enterprise Applications Data.
7- Select SAP Library and click Next.
8- Click Finish to re-load the template.

Does that give you access to the Properties ?

Hope that helps.

Cheers,
Damo

Thanks for the tips already, I will go through the log files.

We have it for every library in production environment, not only those which are linked to SAP.
