SUPPORT / SAMPLES & SAS NOTES
Problem Note 30985: "ERROR 20 Unable to log onto application server" error occurs when a scheduled campaign or diagram is launched
 |  |  |  |  |
This logon problem occurs when a SAS® Marketing Automation system has been configured with the SAS® Metadata Server on a Windows operating system and the scheduling and SAS Marketing Automation Launcher software is on a UNIX platform.
*
For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed
Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be
fixed.
When the scheduling software launches a campaign or diagram, the job fails and you will see the following error in the log:
"ERROR 20 Unable to log onto application server"
When diagnosing this problem, if you check the user ID and domain in the command string being passed to the SAS Marketing Automation Launcher, you will see that it has a backslash missing.
Instead of reading [domain\userid], it will be read as [domainuserid]. Because the UNIX operating system has removed the backslash, the login credentials will not be authenticated against the SAS Metadata Server Windows domain.
Select the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.
