Problem Note 59867: A segmentation violation occurs when running a stored process fails that executes the %apm_request_init macro
 |  |  |  |  |
A segmentation violation error and stored process failure might occur while processing the %apm_request_init macro using the SAS® Stored Process Server, pooled workspace server, or standard workspace server. The %apm_request_init macro is part of the EMI framework that can be enabled for SAS® Environment Manager monitoring. The segmentation violation occurs when the logon ID for the connecting user exceeds approximately 40 characters in length. The following traceback appears in the server log file:
+%apm_request_init;
ERROR: An exception has been encountered.
Please contact technical support and provide them with the following traceback information:
The SAS task name is [STPX_LP ]

ERROR: Generic critical error.
Currently the only circumvention is to disable the EMI framework for the stored process server, pooled workspace server, and workspace server:
- On the service architecture framework machine, change to the SAS-configuration-directory/Lev1/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/emi-framework/bin directory.
- From a command line, issue the command ./emi_init.sh --disable APM (UNIX) or emi_init.bat --disable APM (Windows) to disable only the APM ETL. Issue the command ./emi_init.sh --disable ALL (UNIX) or emi_init.bat --disable ALL (Windows) if you want to disable the APM, ACM, and solution kit ETLs. Syntax for the emi_init.sh script can be found here.
