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.
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.
