Installation Note 43359: Installing IBM Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 1.5 SR8a with SASĀ® 9.2 TS2M3 Revision 10w46 requires an already installed version of JRE 1.5
In the AIX operating environment, an error can occur when you install Revision 10w46 or later of the third maintenance release for SAS 9.2 (TS2M3). The following error occurs if you have not already installed a version of JRE 1.5:
Unable to locate a login configuration
This message is logged or displayed by applications and SAS programming statements that use the JRE. The error has been observed in the use of the following applications and statements:
- executing a LIBNAME INFOMAPS statement
- opening an information map from SAS® Enterprise Guide®
- using SAS Remote Services
- using SAS® Enterprise Miner™
The error is the result of broken symbolic links that are created by the JRE installer, as illustrated by the commands below:
>/opt/sas/sas92/jre1.5_SR8a/jre/lib/security $ ls -l

To correct this problem, install any version of JRE 1.5, which creates the missing directory and files to which the symbolic links point.
