In the third maintenance release for SAS^® 9.4 (TS1M3), configuration of the Web Infrastructure Platform might fail during a migration deployment. This problem occurs because of an error that is encountered when the Shared Services database is migrated. This failure only occurs when both of the following conditions occur:

• SAS 9.4 TS1M3 is deployed in UNIX operating environments.
• Different user accounts are used to run the SAS^® Migration Utility, which creates the migration package on the source environment, and to run SAS^® Deployment Wizard, which loads the migration package on the target environment.

When this problem occurs, the webinfpltfm_ImportDatabase.log file displays the following exception showing that there is an error with importing the database:

In addition, the webinfpltfm_startServer_yyyy-mm-dd-hh-mm-ss.log file indicates that the configuration failed:

If you encounter this configuration failure and if SAS Deployment Wizard is still running, you can try the following workaround:

1. Grant Write permission for SAS-Migration-Utility-package-directory/your-server-name/webinfpltfm to the user account that is running SAS Deployment Wizard.
2. Delete the Shared Services database so that it will be re-created.
3. Remove the following files and directories:
.../Lev1/AppData/SASContentServer/Repository/repository .../Lev1/AppData/SASContentServer/Repository/workspaces .../Lev1/AppData/SASContentServer/Repository/.SCSOK .../Lev1/AppData/SASContentServer/Repository/.lock (if exists) .../Lev1/AppData/SASContentServer/Repository/revision.log (if exists)

Note: DO NOT REMOVE the repository.xml file from the .../Lev1/AppData/SASContentServer/Repository/ directory.

4. Click the Retry button in the deployment wizard.

However, you can circumvent the problem completely by using either of the following methods:

• Rerun the migration configuration, ensuring that you run SAS Deployment Wizard on the target with the same user account that is used to create the SAS Migration Utility package on the source.
• Before you run SAS Deployment Wizard, change ownership of the SAS-Migration-Utility-package-directory/ on the target environment to the new user account that is running the deployment wizard.
