Usage Note 20584: SAS Warranty Analysis 4.1 - SILK Components - Headless Mode Workaround
SILK Components are a Java library of Swing components that are used for data visualization in
SAS® Warranty Analysis 4.1. SILK stands for Statistical InterLinKed charts.
The library includes charting components as well as many tools for using graphics in a Java application.
Issue:
The SILK components in SAS Warranty Analysis 4.1 do not work in headless mode. The batch file that starts
Tomcat (<SASConfigDir>\Lev1\web\startServletContainer.bat) automatically
toggles on headless mode.
Because of the headless mode setting, the SILK parser will not be able to create the graphical
objects in the application.
Workaround:
To create graphs within SAS Warranty Analysis 4.1:
- Open a synchronized block.
- Toggle off headless mode (
-Djava.awt.headless=false).
- Create the images using SILK.
- Toggle on headless mode (
-Djava.awt.headless=true).
- Exit the synchronized block.
