When executing PROC INFOMAPS code or using the SAS Information Maps LIBNAME engine, you might see an error that is similar to the following:

log4j:ERROR setFile(null,false) call failed. 
java.io.FileNotFoundException: OMRLog.log (Permission denied) 

There are two possible solutions:

• change the output location of the OMRLog.log file
• do not output the OMRLog.log file

Note: OMRLog.log is a 0 byte file, so you can safely choose to not create it.

To perform these tasks, you must modify a file named grpfstpt.xml.

CAUTION: Before editing qrpfstpt.xml, make a copy of the file.

Following are some examples of where grpfstpt.xml can be found, depending on your operating system and your version of SAS:

• Windows: C:\Program Files\SAS\SAS 9.2\core\sasmisc\qrpfstpt.xml
• UNIX: /sas/dev/mva-v913/hostcm/misc/qrpfstpt.xml
• z/OS: /SASHome/SASFoundation/9.3/hostcm/qrpfstpt.xml

If you are on Windows or UNIX, then you can open the qrpfstpt.xml file in a text editor

If you are on z/OS, the qrpfstpt.xml file is written in ASCII. To edit the file, you must use the VA line command from =3.17 under ISPF.

When you are ready to edit the file, search for the entry OMRLog.log. It should be within the <TextStore> tag.Here are some examples of how you might modify the file.
