The launch of the server process failed because of an invalid or inaccessible SASUSER library.

Hey

I am writing my doctor Thesis and I Need SAS for Statistics. 

I use SAS Studio with a Putty and it worked well since I can not log in anymore because of this error message:

"The launch of the server process failed because of an invalid or inaccessible SASUSER library."

please help me!!

SAS Studio with a Putty

If you're logging in to a server, you're likely using SAS on your University Server and should contact them for IT support or to ensure that SAS is running correctly.

Hi @kathisas

I agree with @Reeza (I would not dare not too ).

Then there is a chance that your IT may not know where to start.

The SASUSER definition is stored in the sasv9.cfg file.

If you don't know where to find that file, from your SAS session run the following code:

proc options option=jreoptions value;
run;

In the log, you'll get an information similar too:

    Scope: SAS Session
    How option value set: Config File
    Config file name:
            D:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.3\nls\en\sasv9.cfg

Moving on, that file will have the definition of the SASUSER library, for instance:

  -SASUSER "?CSIDL_PERSONAL\My SAS Files\9.3"

This is the path your IT has to check: does it exist, do you have access to it, etc. ?

If this is an option, you can change the path in order to use a different directory, like:

  -SASUSER "\dir1\dir2"

Hope that helps.

Cheers,

Damo
