To solve this problem, follow these steps:
- Stop the SAS Environment Manager agent services.
- Navigate to the SAS-configuration-directory\Lev1\Web\SASEnvironmentManager\agent-5.0.0-EE\data\ folder and make a backup of the keyvals file.
- Delete the keyvals file from the folder.
- Start SAS Environment Manager agent services.
- Check the status of SAS services to see whether SAS Environment Manager agent services start successfully with other services. If the services start successfully, you should see the status as shown below:
