Usage Note 20778: "There is Circular Environment Inheritance" error when re-loading
environments
In SAS Risk Dimensions, circular inheritance occurs if the same
environment is loaded more than once. For example, if business unit
(BU) environments are created by inheriting a root environment, and then
an enterprise-wide environment is created by inheriting from the BU
environments, the environments are loaded as follows:
root <- BU1 <- root <- BU2 <- Enterprise-wide
Because of the repeated loading of the root environment, there is a
circular inheritance error message:
ERROR: There is circular environment inheritance.
If an enterprise-wide environment is not needed, environments can be
saved by using ENV SAVEAS=<env_name> in the RISK procedure. Many
objects, but not all, can be imported from one environment to another by
using the IMPORT statement in PROC RISK.
If an enterprise-wide environment is needed, then the only workaround is
to forego the creation of the root environment -- start with the
creation of the business unit environments.
