You might encounter a problem in which the values in the Initialization program and Termination program fields on the Request tab of the Logical Stored Process Server Properties dialog box are being overwritten. This problem occurs only if the audit, performance, and measurement (APM) extract, transform, load (ETL) process is enabled for SAS Environment Manager. In this scenario, the SAS Environment Manager agent overwrites the existing values and inserts the following values in the metadata for the logical stored process server:

Initialization program: SASEnvironment/SASMacro/apm_request_init.sas

Termination program: SASEnvironment/SASMacro/apm_request_term.sas

When you encounter this problem, the request initialization and request termination programs that you have specified stop running and the apm_request_init.sas and apm-request_term.sas programs run instead. To verify that this problem has occurred, you can search the Stored Process Server log file for a line similar to the following:

You cannot fix this problem by manually modifying the file locations for the logical stored process server's request initialization and request termination programs. This strategy does not work because within several hours, the SAS Environment Manager agent again replaces your values with its own values as described above.

If you need to specify your own request initialization program file location, then you can add a %INCLUDE statement that includes your file location at the top of the apm_request_init.sas file. If you need to specify your own request termination program file location, then you can add a %INCLUDE statement that includes your file location at the top of the apm_request_term.sas file.

Note: Here are the physical paths for the files that are located on the SAS Stored Process Server machine:

Edit the apm_request_init.sas program and add a %INCLUDE statement for your custom request initialization file. Here is an example:

For related information about using relative versus absolute paths for the apm_request_init.sas and apm_request_term.sas files, see SAS Note 61325: "A SAS^® Stored Process might fail with "STP_ERR: Requested Stored Process SASEnvironment/SASMacro/apm_request_init.sas does not exist...​​​​​​."

* For software releases that are not yet generally available, the Fixed Release is the software release in which the problem is planned to be fixed.

If APM ETL is enabled for SAS® Environment Manager, then the SAS Environment Manager agent updates the values for the SAS® Stored Process Server's request initialization and request termination programs in the metadata and it overwrites any existing values.
