SAS Upgrade from 9.4M6 to M7 | License in grace period

[MariaD]

Hi folks, 

We have 3 SAS Environment (infrastructure and configuration are identically). We performed an updated to M7 on one of the environments without any error. Now, we are implementing the updated to the next ones. In the middle time, our license entered in grace period (the renovation process is ongoing). 

In the second server, once the license is in grace period, started to have multiple errors during the configuration update. Most of them in the web part. Is there any problem to apply the update during license grace period?

In theory being in the grace period shouldn't cause any problems. However to remove that as a possible cause of error I suggest you request a new licence from SAS to avoid grace period warnings.

SAS upgrades are tricky enough as it is without introducing another source of potential problems.

Thanks, @SASKiwi . I restored the backup of environment already updated and process it again. On that environment, everything runs ok. 

So, I restored the backup on the one with error and process it again. Again, on that machine I have the same error:

The following problem was encountered while configuring SAS Decision Manager
Common Mid-Tier for Decision Manager:

getSASInfrastructureDataServer failed: java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException: Index: 0

more information, see the log file located

I opened the log and the only information is:

Any idea what is going on?

Looks like something is wrong with your current mid-tier configuration of SAS Decision Manager. I don't have any experience with this product so I'd suggest you raise a track with SAS Tech Support.

Hi @SASKiwi ,

Thanks, unfortunately I had to reconfigure it from scratch.
