When you submit SAS job to a SAS grid environment, the submission might fail, generating the following error:

This error can occur when users do not have permission to write to the SAS logging facility (LOG4SAS). To determine whether this is the source of the problem, follow these steps:

1. Verify that SAS can actually be started on the SAS grid node in question by logging on locally to the host and starting SAS.
2. If you can successfully start SAS on the SAS grid node, then make sure that SAS environment has been set by sourcing the LSF profile. To do that, execute LSF_TOP/conf/lsf.profile.

   Note: In UNIX operating environments, you might have to source LSF_TOP/conf/lsf.profile in order to set up the LSF environment.

   For additional information about sourcing the profile in the SAS environment, see "Verifying the Platform Suite for SAS Environment" in "Chapter 6: Troubleshooting" of the Grid Computing in SAS^® 9.2, Third Edition

3. After you execute the lsf.profile file, run the following command (using the job ID that is found in SAS^® Management Console):
   
   bhist -l job-ID;

   The following message might be written in the bhist output, further confirming a problem with writing to the SAS logging facility.

   Exited with exit code 105
4. Set debugging in the grid definition as follows:
1. Select SAS Management Console ► SASApp - Logical Grid Server ► SASApp -Grid Server ► Properties.
2. On the Options tab in the properties dialog box, enter the following option in the Additional Options text box. Then click OK.
   
   stdOutput=1
3. Resubmit the job to the grid.
5. Look for the resulting sasgrid.stdout and sasgrid.stderr files that will be created in the Execution Current Work Directory (CWD). Along with these files, you should see the stdout.log file. Note: You can find the CWD in the output that is generated by the submission of the bhist -l job-ID command.
   

   Check the stdout.log file to see whether it contains the following error:

   ERROR: Insufficient authorization to access .../sas/SASConfig/Lev1/SASApp/GridServer/Logs/SASGrid_2013-06-20_sasgrid01_9629.log.

   This error indicates that there is insufficient user access. To correct this problem, ensure that all users who submit jobs to the grid have permissions to the Logs directory.
