SAS/SHARE Error Messages under Windows

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

ERROR: Communication request rejected by partner: 
security verification failure

An unauthorized client tried to connect to a secure server.

No TCP service server-id on this host.

The service that is specified in the SERVERID= option is not one of the SAS/SHARE TCP/IP service names that are defined in the TCP/IP services file.

Cannot locate TCP host 'node'.

The TCP/IP software is probably not running on the server's node. The node that was specified in a two-level name is not known to the TCP/IP software, or the TCP/IP software is not running on the user's node.

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 that has 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 was specified by the SERVER= option cannot be located on the specified node.
