Problem Note 61708: New log messages stop appearing in the SAS® Environment Manager log viewer for SAS® Viya®
 |  |  |  |  |
New log messages in the SAS Environment Manager log viewer for SAS Viya might stop appearing, but old messages might remain. In the etl_driver.YYYYMMDD_000000.saslog file that resides in the directory /opt/sas/viya/config/var/log/evmsvrops/evdm, you might see messages similar to the following:
FATAL: Insufficient memory to execute DATA step program. Aborted during the
EXECUTION phase.
NOTE: Missing values were generated as a result of performing an operation on
missing values.
Each place is given by: (Number of times) at (Line):(Column).

ERROR: The SAS System stopped processing this step because of insufficient
memory.
This problem can be caused when the system_process_usage.sas7bdat table becomes too large, which causes the extract, transform, and load (ETL) process that feeds the log viewer to fail. As a result, no new log messages appear in the log viewer.
To work around this problem, delete the system_process_usage.sas7bdat table from opt/sas/viya/config/var/lib/evmsvrops/evdm/lastvals. The table is re-created the next time that the ETL process runs. The ETL process runs every 5 minutes, so within 5 minutes of deleting system_process_usage.sas7bdat, new log messages should begin to appear in the SAS Environment Manager log viewer.
A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release.
