I have a web application which is .net 4.5 that runs on a windows 2008 web server with IIS 7.5 and SAS 9.3 64-bit. I'm trying to execute a sas file that I generate on the file, but when I try and run this process I keep getting the following Errors in C:\ProgramData\SAS\LOGS\sas.123.456789.log
ERROR: Invalid physical name for library SASUSER.
NOTE: Unable to initialize the options subsystem.
ERROR: (SASXKINI): PHASE 3 KERNEL INITIALIZATION FAILED.
ERROR: Unable to initialize the SAS kernel.
This is the c# code to execute the command line
string cmd = string.Format(@"c:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3\sas.exe");
string sArgument = string.Format(@" -config C:\PROGRA~1\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3\nls\en\sasv9Web.cfg -sysin d:\test\sas{0}.sas -log d:\test\sas{0}.log", ID);
ProcessStartInfo pSI = new System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo(cmd, sArgument);
pSI.UseShellExecute = true;
Process p = new Process();
p.EnableRaisingEvents = true;
p.Exited += new EventHandler(MyExited);
p.StartInfo = pSI;
p.Start();
p.WaitForExit();
I'm trying to point to a new config file and within the config file i'm setting SASUSER to -SASUSER "!TEMP\SAS Temporary Files", but I still get this error.
Any help would be appreciated.
Is there an existing folder named SAS Temporary Files in the path that !TEMP resoves to? I suspect the folder not existing is part of the problem since that is one of the most common causes of invalid physical name issues.
Try pointing SASUSER to a physical directory that you know exists and that the user has write access.
If that works then you can debug why the other path doesn't work.
