In SAS^®, when you use the -GRIDRUNSASDMS option in the SASGSUB command to start an interactive SAS grid session in display mode, the session might fail. When this failure occurs, the following error message is generated in the log:

This problem happens when you have an APM_ARMSETUP macro in your appserver_autoexec_usermods.sas file that resides in the SAS-configuration-directoryn\SASApp directory. It is fine to have the macro in the SASApp directory when you run SAS or SAS grid sessions in batch. However, there are no ARM or APM measurements appropriately logged in interactive SAS. As a result, the SAS session fails when you start an interactive SAS grid session in display mode.

To avoid this problem, use the -NOAUTOEXEC option for the SASGSUB command's DMS run mode. To set this up automatically so that it only affects the DMS run mode of SASGSUB, you can add this option to your grid_usermods.cfg file.

For example, in UNIX operating environments, add or edit the following line in the grid_usermods.cfg file (in the SAS-configuration-directory/Levn/SASApp/GridServer directory) so that it includes the -NOAUTOEXEC option:

In Windows operating environments, add or edit the following line in the grid_usermods.cfg file (in the SAS-configuration-directory\Levn\SASApp\GridServer folder) so that it includes the -NOAUTOEXEC option:

This addition or modification will be added only to the DMS run-mode code in the sasgrid script.
