Unable to save projects to SAS folders

[KBACHU]

I am getting the error message 'Unable to access the midtier service registry' when I try to save the data to Metadata folders. I am able to save it to the physical path on the servers, but not the metadata folders. Can anyone please advice?

[KBACHU]

Actually, I am trying to save Enterprise Guide projects, not the data. I found the below sasnote, but the issue is not with EG as I am able to do the same on different servers.

52662 - You cannot save a SAS® Enterprise Guide® 5.1 project to the SAS Folders tree in SAS® 9.4 TS1...

[mohamed_zaki]

What is your environment version SAS, SAS Enterprise Guide?

[KBACHU]

SAS Enterprise Guide 5.1 and SAS 9.3 on AIX.

[gergely_batho]

Do you have the same messages in the logs?

Does the user have write access to that metadata location? (Can you crete a new folder there, or save/create something else?)

[KBACHU]

Yes, Users do have necessary permissions to the Metadata folders. I can create a new folder under 'My Folder' but not able to rename it or write any projects to it.

Regarding the logs, I enabled logging in EG and I see similar error messages.

everything worked fine till couple of days back,we were able to save everything in EG under sas folders.

Its not getting saved and throwing error since from yesterday.both the dev and production are on same server.

and am able to save project in EG in production but why not Devlopmemt all of sudden.

am not getting any idea,please help.

[KBACHU · Accepted solution]

Can you send me the content of the error message? I wanted to see if I have got the same mesaage. Also, please check if you have multiple web services deployed with the same name. The issue which I have came across was because of two werb services with the same name. Deleting one web service fixed the issue.
SAS Folders > system > services > web services

KBACHU,

Thank you so much for your prompt response,I really appreciate that.as you said I have checked under SAS Folder>systems>services in Management console.

I dont think, the problem is with the sastruct credentails as you were able to validate sas content server successfully. Do you know if all the users are having the problem or just you? I am thinking that it might be problem with the Enterprise Guide installation as EG uses .net framework to communicate with web based applications. Try doing the same on a different computer or try reinstalling enterprise guide.

Karthik,

Intially a user got this issue.then I have checked on my system same error i got.

and i don't think so it might be a SAS EG installation problem,because most of our users use EG which is published on Citrix,just they login into Citrix and work with EG.

and even i tried with EG on Citrix,same error am getting.

[PaulHomes]

From the stack trace you posted, it looks to me like you're having problems with your SSL certificate on the mid-tier web server (where the SAS Content Server provides WebDAV services for the platform to store documents) . Have you verified the SSL certificate hasn't expired, or that everything has been put in place to ensure the certificate chain to the CA is trusted?

[sasprofile]

Paul Homes,

Thank you for your valuable advice,I appreciate that.

I found the SSL certificate is not expired not it has been renewed.

but IE browser level,I am getting an error I have installed some certificate by clicking in the certificate error on top right of the browser.after doing that i tested again saving project,but this time am getting a different error,not sure what is this error again.

any idea about this error,how it can be fixed ?

An Unexpected error has occured

Unable to store the project in DAV.
