In the first maintenance release for SAS^® 9.4 (TS1M1), the SAS Environment Manager 2.1 agent fails to start. When this happens, the following, repetitive errors are generated:

To workaround this problem:

1. Stop the SAS Environment Manager agent services.
2. Delete or rename the data directory that resides in the SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\Web\SASEnvironmentManager\agent-5.0.0-EE directory.
3. Delete or rename the agent.scu file that resides in the SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\Web\SASEnvironmentManager\agent-5.0.0-EE\conf directory.
4. Change encrypted properties in the agent.properties and auto-approve.properties files to plain-text values. The encrypted properties in these files are in the format ENC(XXXXXXXXXX), so you need to change them to plain-text values.
   
   • In the agent.properties file that resides in SAS-configuration-directory/Lev2/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/agent-5.0.0-EE/conf/, set the property agent.setup.camPword to a plain-text password value.
   • In the auto-approve.properties file that resides in SAS-configuration-directory/Lev2/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/agent-5.0.0-EE/conf/, change all values in auto-approve.properties to true.
5. Execute the following command from a command prompt:
\Lev1\Web\SASEnvironmentManager\agent-5.0.0-EE\bin\hq-agent.bat/sh restart
