After you configure the SAS Decision Services middle tier, Instructions.html instructs you to invoke Diagnostics.jsp. This diagnostic web page might return an exception similar to the one below:

com.sas.analytics.ph.RTDMException: Could not connect to resource 
$Audit_Log_JDBCConnectionResource using url jdbc:sastkts://machine-name:port-number in 10000 ms 
at com.sas.rtdm.implementation.resource.JdbcConnectionTester$1.createConnection(JdbcConnectionTester.java:221) 
at org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolableConnectionFactory.makeObject(PoolableConnectionFactory.java:582) 
at org.apache.commons.pool.impl.GenericObjectPool.borrowObject(GenericObjectPool.java:1148) 
at org.apache.commons.dbcp.PoolingDataSource.getConnection(PoolingDataSource.java:106) 
at com.sas.rtdm.implementation.resource.JdbcConnectionTester.test(JdbcConnectionTester.java:272) 

The only resources listed in the diagnostic that do not fail are BI_Webservice_Activity_Resources.

To avoid this problem, meticulously perform all steps that are listed in the SAS Decision Services 5.6 Configuration Guide. This guide includes more steps than are mentioned in the "Decision Services" section of Instructions.html. In addition, provide the password for the SAS^® Federation Server administrative user when you create the SAS^® Authentication Server users.

If you encounter the error above, add a password to the SAS Federation Server administrative user in SAS^® Data Manager Studio as described below:

1. Double-click the Administration menu bar.
2. Expand the SAS Authentication Server menu.
3. Double-click your SAS Authentication Server definition.
4. Enter the SAS Federation Server administrative user ID.
5. Enter the password.
6. Select Log On.
7. Double-click the Users menu bar.
8. Double-click All Users to expand the item.
9. Locate and highlight the SAS Federation Server administrative user.
10. Select New login.
11. Enter the SAS Federation Server administrative user ID, select a domain, and enter the password.

After you add the password, rerun the following two scripts that create the SAS Federation Server DSNs and the associated authorizations:

SAS-configuration-directory/Lev[n]/Applications/SASDecisionServicesServerConfig5.6/Utilities/sasds_fedserver.sas
SAS-configuration-directory/Lev[n]/Applications/SASDecisionServicesServerConfig5.6/Utilities/createFDSn.sas
