Usage Note 38850: java.security.AccessControlException received when attempting to update a BI Dashboard indicator
 |  |  |  |
When attempting to update a SAS BI Dashboard indicator, you might receive the following error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------- HTTP Status 500 - -------------------------------------------------------------------- type Exception report message description The server encountered an internal error () that prevented it from fulfilling this request. exception javax.servlet.ServletException: java.security.AccessControlException: access denied (java.io.FilePermission C:\SAS\Config\Lev1\Web\Logs\SASBIDashboardEventGen4.2.log.10 read) org.apache.struts.chain.ComposableRequestProcessor.process(ComposableRequestPro cessor.java:286) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.process(ActionServlet.java:1913) org.apache.struts.action.ActionServlet.doGet(ActionServlet.java:449) javax.servlet.http.HttpServlet.service(HttpServlet.java:690)
This issue is related to restrictive policy files not allowing SAS BI Dashboard to create log files. To correct the problem, add the following content to the top of the SAS BI Dashboard section in the sas.restrictive.permissions.policy file:
permission java.io.FilePermission "webappconfig.expandAsPermissionsFile|@config.lev.web.log
s.dir@|${/}-", "read,write,delete";
|
For JBOSS, the sas.restrictive.permissions.policy file is located in ...\jboss-4.2.0.GA\server\SASServer1\conf.
For assistance with other Web application servers, contact SAS Technical Support.
