I just finished an in place upgrade to SAS 9.4 M8 for a muti tiered windows environment. I was upgrading postgres and the deployment wizard is stuck at the last step for several minutes, even though every step was successful. Anyone has any idea what to do next? I know it is stuck because the dotted squares that show the progress is not moving.     ... View more

The deployment backup is failing in our SAS 9.4 M6 environment (OS: AIX). This is the only error in the log: 2024-04-23 14:40:48,770 [tomcat-http--17] ERROR [sasadm] com.sas.svcs.backup.spi.BackupServiceImpl - The backup failed When I enabled debug logging, I saw some additional details: 2024-04-23 14:39:14,524 [executor-1] INFO  [sasadm] com.sas.svcs.backup.dao.BackupServerHelperDAO - Received Status code: FAIL 2024-04-23 14:39:14,524 [executor-1] DEBUG [sasadm] com.sas.svcs.backup.dao.BackupServerHelperDAO - Log file path: /opt/sas/config/Lev3/Backup/Logs/2024-04-23T11_03_58/backup/ConfigDir I checked the log inside ../ConfigDir.

We recently started using SAS 9.4M8 and trying to read user’s name in the Web Report Studio logs with %u in the <SASConfig>\Web\Common\ LogConfig\SASWebReportStudio4. 4-log4j.xml , but it looks encrypted. I can see that the log4j framework has changed in SAS 9.4M8. Is there any way of modifying the log4j.xml file to make the user’s name appear in the logs like how it was in the previous maintenance releases? This is the pattern I'm using: [WRS] %-5p [%t] %d{ISO8601} [%s:%u] %c{4} - %m%n In place of [%s:%u], it appears like this:  [%s:fd998900-cf13-11ee-b5ec- 005056a787a5]   ... View more

Our environment manager is configured for https under a specific port (7445) which is open for connections. The environment manager server process starts without any issues, there are no errors in server or wrapper logs, but it does not listen on the port (which we verified with netstat) and we cannot access the application. The ssl certificate also looks good, so I am unsure where the issue is. Please let me know if anyone has any idea on where this issue could be happening.    This is on SAS Grid 9.4M6 and the OS is AIX.   Thanks in advance! ... View more
