Problem Note 38241: ARM API call failure
Setting the both the ARMAGENT=LOG4SAS and ARMSUBSYSTEM=(ARM_DSIO) SAS options without setting LOGCONFIGLOC to point to an XML file that defines an ARM Appender results in “ARM API call failure” warning messages in the SAS Log.
Examples of the messages seen in the SAS log are:
WARNING: ARM API call failure in ARM_UPDATE:
Failure code: -1
Transaction Identifier: -1
Application Message: ARM_DS_IO subsystem failure during
variable select on file XXXXXX
WARNING: ARM API call failure in ARM_UPDATE:
Failure code: -1
Transaction Identifier: -1
Application Message: ARM_DS_IO subsystem failure during
variable select on file XXXXXX
WARNING: ARM API call failure in ARM_STOP:
Failure code: -1
Transaction Identifier: -1
Application Message: ARM_DS_IO subsystem failure during
close of file XXXXXX
This is a user error.
The LOGCONFIGLOC must point to an XML file to define the ARM Appender when ARMAGENT=LOG4SAS and ARMSUBSYSTEM is specified.
A more explanatory error message is planned for a future release
