Installation Note 51269: SAS® Management Console modification to support Java run-time environment 1.7.0_25 or higher for Java web start SAS® Enterprise Miner(tm) client

DetailsAboutRate It

You can define a Virtual Machine Options metadata argument using SAS® Management Console for invoking SAS Enterprise Miner through Java Web Start. This argument enables you to install Java run-time environments at 1.7.0_25 and higher and circumvents a problem that was introduced by 1.7.0_21. Follow these steps to define the argument.

  1. Launch SAS Management Console. Connect to the metadata server that is associated with the deployment where SAS Enterprise Miner is configured. Log on as the sasadm@saspw account.
  2. Under the Plug-ins tab, expand Application Management ► Configuration Manager ► SAS Application Infrastructure. Click Enterprise Miner Mid-Tier JWS 12.1.

    Note: The spelling of "Ambigous" is intentional.

  6. Select OK to accept the changes and exit the Enterprise Miner Mid-Tier JWS 12.1 Properties dialog box.
  7. Make sure that the individual users follow these subsequent steps to ensure that the changes take effect:
    1. Clear the Java cache: How do I clear the Java cache?
    2. Clear the web browser cache: How do I clear my web browser cache?
  8. Launch the SAS Enterprise Miner Java Web Start Status page. Verify that the Java VM Arguments is displayed as follows:

This Java argument works for SAS Enterprise Miner versions 7.1, 7.1_M1, 7.1_M2. 12.1, 12.1_M1 and 12.3.

For a limitation with 1.7.0_45, see this SAS note:51436, "SAS® Enterprise Miner™ Java fails to open and gives 'Error: Unable to find the System Property:dminemid.importgroup.wip'".
