Problem Note 63231: Opening an Oracle table with the Federation Server engine causes SAS® Federation Server to fail with "ERROR: CLI cursor fetch error..."

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

When you try to open an Oracle table from SAS® Enterprise Guide®, SAS Federation Server fails with the following message:

ERROR: CLI cursor fetch error: General Error - invalid Exception

This issue occurs when you have driver tracing on with the APPLEVEL=52 option.

To work around this problem, remove the APPLEVEL= option by completing the following steps:

  1. Go to the etc directory under the Federation Server configuration directory (it is similar to /config/Lev1/FederationServer/etc, depending on installation location and name).
     
  2. Edit the dfs_serv.xml file and remove the APPLEVEL=52 option. Here is an example:
       <Option name="ObjectServerParms">SERVER='&cfg.fsid;' APPLEVEL=52</Option>

    After you edit the file, it should look similar to the following:
       <Option name="ObjectServerParms">SERVER='&cfg.fsid;'</Option>
     
  3. Check for any tktstrace.txt files and either remove or rename them:
       find /opt/sas/. -name tktstrace.txt
  4. Restart SAS Federation Server:
       fsadmin restart

After you complete these steps, the issue should be resolved and you should no longer be getting a tktstrace.txt file.
