The PROC HPRISK step fails and "Error: Failed to load analytic extension for the distributed computing environment" occurs when you use PROC HPRISK under the following conditions:

• You use a solution that uses TKEMPICLIENT software, such as SAS^® High-Performance Risk and SAS^® Model Implementation Platform.
• You use one or more of the following special characters as part of the TKMPI_INFO setting for a grid job:  ;  "  '  <  >  |  &  *  `  ~  (  )  and the space character.

The workaround is to not use special characters in the TKMPI_INFO settings.

A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release. The fix will update the list of special characters to filter out in the HPR_SET_TKMPI_INFO.SAS macro.

If TKEMPICLIENT software (such as SAS® High-Performance Risk and SAS® Model Implementation Platform) encounters one or more special characters as part of the TKMPI_INFO setting for a grid job, an error is generated and the PROC HPRISK step fails.
