When accessing a SAS Workspace Server through a SAS Metadata Server, SAS Enterprise Guide 4.1 can experience some significant performance problems. This occurs when the encryption is set to "Everything" in the SAS Workspace server definition.

The workarounds are to either encrypt only "Credentials" or to apply the hot fix listed under the Hot Fix tab. To change the encryption level:

1. Open SAS^® Management Console.
2. Expand Server Manager then expand the logical workspace server definition.
3. Right-click the connection definition in the right hand pane and select Properties.
4. Click Options then click Advanced Options and the Encryption tab.
5. After changing any encryption level, the SAS Object Spawner must be restarted.

Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
