Problem Note 63988: Batch promotion of SAS® Visual Analytics objects fails when X11 is unavailable
 |  |  |  |  |
When you use batch promotion tools, the ExportPackage command fails to include SAS Visual Analytics objects in the SAS package under the following conditions:
- You use batch promotion tools located in the equivalent directory to SAS-installation-directory/SASPlatformObjectFramework/9.4/.
- X11 is not available.
- You include SAS Visual Analytics objects, such as reports or queries.
In this scenario, SAS reports that the process has finished successfully. A message similar to the following appears in the export log file of the package:
INFO The export process has finished successfully. For more information, view the export log file: /tmp/testing/PlastChir1_exp.log java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Could not initialize class com.sas.bireport.logical.ReportUtil
A workaround is to use SAS® Management Console to import or export these objects. Ensure that the SAS Visual Analytics logical types are installed as described in SAS Note 55607, "SAS® Management Console might not enable you to use the promotion tools to move SAS® Visual Analytics content objects."
