Calling Macro %irm_rest_manage_instance failed

[H-elmu-t]

Hi,

I am working with RRM 6.1 / IRM 3.6 and I would like to create a job flow instance in batch using SAS Enterprise Guide.

Therefore I run the following code:

%include "&fa./source/sas/ucmacros/*.sas";
%irm_setup(source_path = &irm_home./, fa_id = &fa_id.);

%let irm_host=http://myserver.net;
%let irm_port=7980;
%let instance_Key=;

%irm_rest_create_jobflow_instance(
                  instance_name     = myInstance
                  , description     = myInstance-Description
                  , entityID        = myEntity
                  , entityRoleKey   = 2 /* 1=solo, 2=group */
                  , category        = regulatory_risk_management
                  , jobflowFile     = rrm_capital_calculation.bpmn
                  , baseDate        = &my_month.
                  , configSetId     = crd4
                  , federatedAreaID = &fa_id.
                  , host            = &irm_host. 
                  , port            = &irm_port.
                  , debug           = false
                  , outvar          = instance_Key
               );

%put instance_Key = &instance_Key.;

That works perfectly fine:
The instance will be created and started automatically and in the macro variable &instance_Key I get the instance ID of the new instance.

Then I would like to share the instance by running the following macro call:

%irm_rest_manage_instance (instanceKey = &instance_Key.
                          , host      = &irm_host. 
                          , port      = &irm_port.
                          , outds     = status_share
                          , action    = Share
                          );

Unfortunately that does not work as expected.

When executing the code, an error occurs and the script aborts:

What is strange - nevertheless the error message, the instance will get shared.
So the problem is actually just the error message (and the abortion of the script).

Does anybody know - what is the reason for that error message and what do I do wrong?
And how can I do to avoid the above error message?

Thanks in advance!

Best regards,
Helmut

Possible reasons for failure

1. The instance has some code running from personal FA. Such instances cannot be shared.
   • This does not seem to be the reason since the log shows a registered FA.
2. The FA path registered in SMC has some issue.
   • The log shows double forward slash (//). Please verify that this does not pose problem.
3. Some authentication issue while getting ticket.
   • The complete log is not shown. Please see to it that the result of PROC HTTP does not show any problem.

If none of the above reasons are applicable, I will suggest that you wait for the instance to finish execution or at least let it run for some time before calling the manage-instance REST API call.

I have not worked much in the IRM REST API Lua code so the above are the only points that I can suggest for you to look into. Hope it helps.

Dear Himanshu,

Thank you for your feedback.

The instance has some code running from personal FA. Such instances cannot be shared.

• This does not seem to be the reason since the log shows a registered FA.

---

You are right - that is not the case. The FA I am using is not a personal FA.

The FA path registered in SMC has some issue.

• The log shows double forward slash (//). Please verify that this does not pose problem.

I fixed the path specification so that the double quote disappears, but unfortunately still the same problem occurs:

If none of the above reasons are applicable, I will suggest that you wait for the instance to finish execution or at least let it run for some time before calling the manage-instance REST API call.

---

Unfortunately my problem is independent of how long the instance is/was running.
The problem occurs also for an instance that has been successfully calculated.

As I already mentioned before - the weired thing is, that the sharing works.

After running my code, the instance is shared in SAS IRM.

But nevertheless I get an error an the SAS script aborts...

And I don't know how to avoid just the error message and the abortion of the script....

Thanks & best regards,

Helmut

Thanks, Helmut.

I believe that the IRM REST API scripts delivered with RRM content package that you are using might be old or some part of it might be incompatible with IRM 3.6.

IRM 3.6 comes with latest REST API scripts. You have the option to use them or you can raise a ticket on support site if you want to dig it further.

[ArnoldP · Accepted solution]

Yep, that's for sure the reason. I also faced such issues and just then explicitely used the macros which were shipped with IRM 3.6 instead of the ones from the RRM content package.
