Problem Note 39846: Errors occur in a Foundation SAS® session when you try to connect with a SAS® Integration Technologies Server
 |  |  |  |  |
Errors occur when the NOTHREADS system option is set and you try to run a SAS programming statement that requires a connection to a SAS® Integration Technologies server, such as the SAS® Metadata Server. The following error messages appear:
ERROR: woiContextInitialize failure. ERROR: Key not found.
These errors occur whenever you try to run the METALIB, METAOPERATE, or METADATA procedure; a LIBNAME statement with the META engine; or the DATA step functions of the SAS® Open Metadata Interface.
To work around this problem, enable the THREADS system option in the SAS session in which the code is executing.

A fix for this issue for Base SAS 9.21_M3 is available at:
http://ftp.sas.com/techsup/download/hotfix/HF2/B25.html#39846
The IOM subsystem cannot load when the NOTHREADS system option is in effect in a SAS session, resulting in errors when you try to connect to a SAS® Integration Technologies Server, such as a SAS® Metadata Server.
