DetailsAboutRate It

When you select IPv6 in the SAS Deployment Wizard, you might receive the following error when you start your Web application server:

ERROR [] org.jgroups.protocols.UDP - failed sending message to null (0 bytes)

This problem occurs when the zone identifier is present ub the IPv6 multicast.address= Java Virtual Machine option. You can resolve this issue by removing the zone identifier. To do that you must edit the SAS_configuration_directory\Lev1\Web\Applications\RemoteServices\environment.properties file and remove the zone identifier from the IPv6 multicast address. For example, in the following environment.properties file, you need to remove "%4":

#Mon Mar 28 10:32:20 EDT 2011
multicast.port=8561
multicast.address=ff14\:0\:0\:0\:250\:56ff\:fe91\:de%4
metadata.user=sastrust@saspw
publish.user=sasadm@saspw

The corrected file appears as follows:

#Mon Mar 28 10:32:20 EDT 2011
multicast.port=8561
multicast.address=ff14\:0\:0\:0\:250\:56ff\:fe91\:de
metadata.user=sastrust@saspw
publish.user=sasadm@saspw
