Financial Management Studio doesn't show any data anymore and error message is thrown out

[Joseph_T]

For a while now the Financial Management Studio in our development environment doesn't show any data.

Any try to create data will throw out an error message:

Our SAS system administrator couldn't find anything wrong with FM.

We don't have access to PostGre FM database neither to the logs.

If I get into Models I get the error message:

Could not create the view: An unexpected exception was thrown.

And when I press Details I get this:

Please help.

[ChrisNZ]

That's one for SAS tech support. Contact them.

[Joseph_T]

Thank you Chris for your answer.

Do you know how do I contact Tech support?

In our company we only have SAS system administrator and he's an outside consultant from Maya Technologies.

[ChrisNZ · Accepted solution]

Your SAS system administrator should be able to contact them. Otherwise, email s u p p o r t   a t   s a s   d o t   c o m.

[Joseph_T]

Thanks Chris.
I will contact directly SAS support.

[Joseph_T]

After contacting SAS support the issue is now fixed.
Apparently it was missing the data local usually define as English.
