In the Initial Risk Environment window in the SAS Risk Dimensions GUI, the following message might appear when you attempt to open a risk environment from the Existing environment list:

There are two known causes for this behavior. In each case, a discrepancy exists between the metadata entry and the physical file system information for a risk environment.

1. Truncated environment name
2. Improper deletion of risk environment

Truncated Environment Name

As a workaround, instead of opening the risk environment from the initial Existing environment list, use the New Library button to define a library for the risk environment that you want to access. Next, open the risk environment by selecting the newly defined library from the environment list.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue. The hot fix is for SAS Risk Dimensions 5.3_M1.

Improper Deletion of Risk Environment

The workaround is to re-create the SAS library and the risk environment by using the same names. Then properly delete the risk environment by using Tools ► Delete Environment in the SAS Risk Dimensions GUI or by using the DELETE statement in PROC RISK.

For example, suppose the error occurs for the MyLib.MyEnv risk environment in the C:\temp folder. Use the following instructions to re-create and then properly delete the environment:

1. Ensure that the directory (C:\temp) exists for the risk environment that is to be deleted (MyEnv). If it does not exist, then create an empty directory to that path (that is, create C:\temp).
2. In the SAS Risk Dimensions GUI, create a new environment that has the same library name (MyLib), path (C:\temp), and risk environment name (MyEnv) that was previously used for the risk environment. You might need to use the New Library button to create the library (MyLib).
3. Open a different environment, or otherwise restart the SAS Risk Dimensions GUI without opening a risk environment. You cannot delete the environment that you currently have open.
4. Delete the environment (MyLib.MyEnv) by selecting Tools ► Delete Environment ► select the risk environment (MyLib.MyEnv) ► OK.
5. The environment (MyLib.MyEnv) should no longer exist metadata repository. If you do not want the empty directory that you just created (C:\temp), then delete it.
