Issue while connecting SAS on Demand for Academics to Jupyter

[agrisampath]

I am facing trouble using SAS on demand for academics in Jupyter. It worked initially but with a new session i am getting below stated error. I reinstalled anaconda, but couldnt eastablish connection

Traceback (most recent call last):

Your config file has a syntax error in it.:

  File "C:\Users\SAMPATH\anaconda3\envs\SAS\lib\site-packages\saspy\sascfg_personal.py", line 7
    Asia Pacific Home Region
         ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

The instructions for configuring this are here: https://support.sas.com/ondemand/saspy.html

The actual saspy config doc would be here: https://sassoftware.github.io/saspy/configuration.html#iom-using-java (the Remote case).

Given the config file should be:

SAS_config_names=['oda']

oda = {'java' : 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\java.exe',
       #US Home Region
       'iomhost' : ['odaws01-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws02-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws03-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws04-usw2.oda.sas.com'],
       #European Home Region
       #'iomhost' : ['odaws01-euw1.oda.sas.com','odaws02-euw1.oda.sas.com'],
       #Asia Pacific Home Region
       #'iomhost' : ['odaws01-apse1.oda.sas.com','odaws02-apse1.oda.sas.com'],
       'iomport' : 8591,
       'authkey' : 'oda',
       'encoding' : 'utf-8'
      }

It looks like you removed the comment from the comment line for the AP set of hosts. That's the Python syntax error you're getting.

If you were trying to use the AP set of hosts, you should uncomment the 'iomhosts' line under that comment, and comment out the default 'iomhosts' up under the US Home region. So it would look like this:

SAS_config_names=['oda']

oda = {'java' : 'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Common Files\\Oracle\\Java\\javapath\\java.exe',
       #US Home Region
       #'iomhost' : ['odaws01-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws02-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws03-usw2.oda.sas.com','odaws04-usw2.oda.sas.com'],
       #European Home Region
       #'iomhost' : ['odaws01-euw1.oda.sas.com','odaws02-euw1.oda.sas.com'],
       #Asia Pacific Home Region
       'iomhost' : ['odaws01-apse1.oda.sas.com','odaws02-apse1.oda.sas.com'],
       'iomport' : 8591,
       'authkey' : 'oda',
       'encoding' : 'utf-8'
      }
