There might be occasions when SAS BI Server Web Services for Java suddenly stops functioning. This issue is related to a portal error and indicates that the SAS Guest Login has been removed:

This error occurs because the user name, which is sasguest by default, has been defined in the server deployment directory, .../SASXMLA/WEB-INF/conf/xmla.config. This user ID must also be defined within the login of a user within the User Manager, and it must also be functional and properly defined in the operating system.

You can learn more about this issue in defect S0372329.

Using the samples provided by SAS BI Web Services for Java, you can test the discovery with the following request and response code to see if there are any errors:

SOAP response:

As you can see in the response above, an error occurred during user authentication.
