SAS/SHARE Error Messages under UNIX

The TCP/IP access method that is used by SAS/SHARE sometimes issues generalized messages to identify problems. This section describes some of the most frequently encountered messages.

No TCP service <server-id> on this host

The service that is specified in the SERVERID= option is not one of the services that is defined in the TCP services file.

Cannot bind TCP socket.  System message is 'address already in use'

Another server that has the same name is already running on this node, or another TCP/IP application is using the predefined port numbers that the TCP/IP access method is trying to use. If another server of the same name is running, choose one of the other predefined server names. If there is no other server running that has the same name, there might be a conflict with another software application. Contact on-site SAS support personnel for assistance.

Cannot connect to TCP socket.  System message is 'connection refused'

The server that is specified by the SERVER= option cannot be located on the specified node.

Cannot locate TCP host 'node'

The node that is specified in a two-level node name is not known to the TCP/IP software.
