Fixing Issues with the Grid Manager Plug-in for SAS Environment Manager

Here are some possible solutions if the Grid Manager plug-in fails to invoke in SAS Environment Manager:
You receive a “Service is temporarily not available” error
Verify that Platform Web Services is running. Restart the service if needed.
You receive a “Connecting to the server failed” error
Verify that SAS Environment Manager is running.
You receive an “Internal server error” message
Verify that Platform LSF is running.
You receive the message "You do not have permission to perform this action" when attempting to use the Grid Manager plug-in on Windows
This message indicates that Platform Web Services is not running under the LSF Administrator account. To change the account that the service is running under, follow these steps:
  1. In the Windows Services window, click the entry for the service SASServer14_1 and select Stop from the context menu.
  2. In the dialog box for the SASServer14_1 service, click the Log On tab.
  3. Select the This account radio button and specify the user ID and password of the LSF Administrator user. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  4. Click the entry for the service and select Start from the context menu.
If you would rather issue commands, open a Windows Command window and issue these commands:
  • net stop "SAS [SASConfig-Lev] SASServer14_1 - WebAppServer"
  • sc config "SAS [SASConfig-Lev] SASServer14_1 - WebAppServer" obj= domain\userid password= password
    Note: You must include a space between the equal sign and the value for the obj= and password= parameters.
  • net start "SAS [SASConfig-Lev] SASServer14_1 - WebAppServer"
Substitute your directory names for SASConfig-Lev.
You must update the entry for this service anytime the password for the LSF Administrator account changes.

Platform Web Services Errors

You receive permission errors or LSF library initialization errors
Verify that Platform Web Services is running under the LSP Administrator account. These errors occur if Platform Web Services runs under a local user account. To change the account that the service is running under, follow these steps:
  1. In the Windows Services window, click on the entry for the service SASServer14_1 and select Stop from the context menu.
  2. In the dialog box for the SASServer14_1 service, click the Log On tab.
  3. Select the This account radio button and specify the user ID and password of the LSF Administrator user. Click OK to close the dialog box.
  4. Click the entry for the service and select Start from the context menu.
