Re: LOCKDOWN violation

Hi

I am a student learner and i just started to Viya.

I tried to create a job in viya with some codes from the help.

SAS code

==========

*  Declare input parameter;

%global MYNAME;

*  Write the custom HTML to _webout;

data _null_;
file _webout;
put '<!DOCTYPE html>';
put '<html lang="en">';
put '<head><title>Hello World!</title></head>';
put '<body role="main">';
put "<h1>Hello %sysfunc(htmlencode(&MYNAME))!</h1>";
put '</body>';
put '</html>';
run;

HTML form

==========

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">

<head>
<title>Hello World  11</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/SASJobExecution/theme">
</head>

<body role="main" class="jobexec_body">

<form class="jobexec_form" action="/SASJobExecution/" target="_tab">
<input type="hidden" name="_program" value="$PROGRAM$"/>
<input type="hidden" name="_action" value="wait,execute"/>
<input type="hidden" name="_output_type" value="html"/>
1<div class="jobexec_sample_header">SAS<sup>®</sup> Job Execution</div>

2<h1 class="jobexec_sample_name">Hello World 11</h1>

<p>
This sample uses a DATA Step with simple PUT statements to create the output.
</p>

<hr/>

<br/>

3<label for="myname">Specify a name for the greeting:</label>
<input type="text" name="myname" id="myname" value="World" required 
   class="jobexec_sample_input_text"/>
  
<br/>
<br/>

<hr/>

4<input type="submit" value="Run code" class="jobexec_sample_input_submit"/>
<input type="checkbox" name="_debug" id="_debug" value="log" 
   class="jobexec_sample_input_checkbox"/>
<label for="_debug">Show SAS Log</label>

</form>

</body>
</html>

I can preview the form when i run the code. However, when i clicked on the "run code" button, the output gave the following error

"

Job Error

Program error.
The %INCLUDE statement will not be executed due to a LOCKDOWN violation.

"

May i know what is mistake in the code that is causing this error ? i wish to start with a simple hello world to understand how to associate a form with the SAS code. thank you

Hello!

The lockdown violation error likely stems from the %INCLUDE statement in your code. Viya's security policies may restrict external file inclusion. Avoid using %INCLUDE and incorporate necessary code directly. Check permissions and consult SAS support if needed.

JosvanderVelden · Posted 02-06-2024 05:21 AM

@jacksmith1 is correct. The SAS Viya for Learners (VFL) environment does not allow running the %include statement. This is due to security measures implemented by the VFL administrators. You'll have to use code that doesn't include a %include statement. For some courses (ex DMML35) the demonstration programs available in VFL have been revised and start with vfl_. Which course are studying with VFL?

The code you posted does not contain a %INCLUDE statement; please post the part of your code that does.

Hi

there is no %Include in the code that i am testing. I have create a SAS job definition and i am trying to associate a HTML form to the code as

described here

https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/v_041/jobexecug/p0dr6nvk53cw7gn15a8wcx7gpakn.htm

Could it be something that could be inherent to the backend engine of the SAS job ?

BernardTanSg · Posted 02-07-2024 10:24 PM

This is the error. i could not locate any line that suggest there is an %INCLUDE statement.

hope to seek some help please. Thank you

JosvanderVelden · Posted 02-08-2024 06:08 AM

SAS Viya for Learners (VFL) is based on Viya 3.5 so you should use the sample code provided here: https://documentation.sas.com/doc/en/pgmsascdc/9.4_3.5/jobexecug/n0t91q5lsc2b8qn14fd0cgbmylr8.htm#p0....
I have been able to execute the hello world sample on VFL without issue. Can you try with the code provided on the 9.4_3.5 sample page?

Quentin · Posted 02-08-2024 08:16 AM

If you click the "show log" button on that error message screen, can you copy the full log and post it here? It should show and %INCLUDE statement somewhere. It's possible that SAS is using an %INCLUDE statement in some automatically generated code, even if your user-written code doesn't have an %INCLUDE statement. But it's also possible that SAS will hide the log from the the automatically code, which is an unfortunate design choice that they sometimes make.

thanks @JosvanderVelden and @Quentin for your replies

oh dear.... i have tried that new version too and many other job examples posted in the communities.

however, when i run all the examples , every run gave me the same error message.

This is my code screen

My HTML form screen

this is the video when i run the script

(view in My Videos)

I do not know whether do i have to change anything to the script though to avoid this error.

Thank you

That's a shame. Looks like the "show log" options are not actually showing you the SAS log. I guess it's possible that your code never actually runs. Sorry, I'm not familiar with Viya. Hopefully someone else can help.

I just verified and was able to reproduce the error on a different VFL server. I don't have access to the server you areb using. It seems that it will work on some servers and not on others in the VFL server cluster. I suggest you open a VFL technical support ticket by sending an email to sasviyaforlearners@sas.com. In the email send a link to this thread and place me in copy: jos.van.der.velden@sas.com. Don't forget to mention the vflserverurl. In my case I've tested with the following URLs: https://v4e074.vfe.sas.com/SASStudioV/ (doesn't work) and https://v4e042.vfe.sas.com/SASStudioV/ (works fine). You probably don't have access when you use these URLs. The VFL administrators might have to restart some services on your server.

Wow @JosvanderVelden that sort of testing, follow-up, and personal support is a great example of why SAS employee participation in communities.sas.com is so valuable to the SAS community. Thank you!

Thank you very much @JosvanderVelden and @Quentin for your attention.

I'll reach out to sasviyaforlearners as recommended to explore potential solutions for resolving this error.
