If SAS Management Console is started with a Chinese (Simplified) or a Japanese locale, a library that is then marked as pre–assigned using its native engine fails to assign. When this happens, SAS^® application server logs (for example, a SAS Workspace Server log) might contain one of the following error messages:

Error 1

Error 2

In addition, some applications (for example, SAS^® Enterprise Guide^®) might not display the library within its Libraries listing.

As a circumvention, save the library properties in a non–localized library management environment. For example, follow the steps below to save the library properties using SAS Management Console:

1. Open the sasmc.ini file that resides in the SAS Management Console installation directory (example path: C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASManagementConsole\9.3).
2. Do one of the following steps:
   • Remove the two JavaArgs lines for -Duser.language and -Duser.country.
   • Change those lines so that they have values of en and US, respectively, as show below:
     
     

     

3. Save the changes.
4. Start SAS Management Console.
5. In the SAS Management Console folder tree, select your library. Then right-click the library and select Properties to open the library's properties dialog box.
6. In the dialog box, select Options ► Advanced Options. On the Pre-Assign tab in the Advanced Options dialog box, clear the Library is Pre-Assigned check box, as shown below:
   
   
7. Click OK twice to save the change and exit the dialog boxes.
8. Follow the previous steps to open library properties again. This time, select the Library is Pre-Assigned check box.
   
   

   

9. Click OK twice to save the change and exit the dialog boxes.

The library is now marked as Pre–Assigned, though the localized data that causes the problem is no longer in metadata. There is no ill effect on the library from not having the localized data to define the Pre–Assigned setting.

Note: You need to edit any library marked as Pre–assigned within a localized edition of SAS^® Data Integration Studio or SAS^® OLAP Cube Studio following the same general steps above. Or, if you prefer, you can use a non–localized version of SAS Management Console to remove the localized Pre–Assigned setting.
