Usage Note 30994: Metadata promotion job fails with errors
 |  |  |  |
All servers that are used in a metadata promotion job must be defined to use the same encryption algorithms. When the servers use different encryption algorithms, the promotion job will fail with errors such as the following:
ERROR: Repository (A0000001.A54BXZ55) not found ERROR: Encryption algorithm specified is not supported. ERROR: Target Repository (A0000001.A54BXZ55) not found
Follow these steps to correct the problem:
- Verify that all metadata servers in the promotion process are using the same encryption algorithm.
On Windows, modify the sasv9_MetadataServer.cfg file to include the NETENCRYPTALGORITHM option.
-netencralg "algorithm"On UNIX modify the MetadataServer.sh file to include the NETENCRYPTALGORITHM option.
nohup $SASCMD –log $DIR/logs/MetadataServer_%Y.%m.%d.log –noautoexec –memsize MAX –netencralg "algorithm"
- Verify that the workspace servers are using the same encryption level and algorithm. For the workspace server, follow this path in the SAS® Management Console in the Source and Administration servers.Select Properties ► <Connection> ► Options ► Advanced Options ► Encryption ► Server ► Encryption Algorithms.
- Verify that the Connect server on the target machine is using the same encryption algorithm.
On Windows, add –netencrypt and –netencryptalgorithm to the ConnectServer.bat file. The following is an example ConnectServer.bat file:
echo Manual start of the Spawner using default port of %CONNPORT% start /b "Connect Spawner" "%sasdir%\spawner" –security –netencrypt –netencralg 'algorithm' –service %CONNPORT% –SASCMD %CONNCMD%
On UNIX, add the options to the ConnectServer.sh file. The following is an example ConnectServer.sh file:
$CNCTCMD –service $CONNPORT –sascmd $SASCMD –netencrypt –netencralg 'algorithm' –verbose
