Problem Note 65858: A job flow in SAS® Solution Content for Stress Testing fails, and you see "WARNING: Maximum waiting time has expired before the job completion..."

DetailsAboutRate It

You notice that a job flow in SAS Solution Content for Stress Testing fails. In the SAS® Infrastructure for Risk Management server log, you see the following warning:

WARNING: Maximum waiting time has expired before the job completion. Exiting macro.

This problem occurs because a customized MAX_WAIT parameter in SAS® Solution Content for Stress Testing v02.2019 is not passed in a job flow from SAS® Risk Governance Framework to SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management. Because that parameter is not passed, SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management uses the default MAX_WAIT parameter value of 3600, and that value might not enable enough processing time for a larger job.

There are two possible workarounds:

  1. Update the value for the MAX_WAIT parameter within the configuration table RUN_OPTION. This table is found in SAS-configuration-directory/fa.st.2019.02/irm/landing_area/base/ewst/static.
  2. Modify the code for the SAS Risk Governance Framework model (name: “ST - Credit Risk”; ID: “ST-005-CreditStress”) or the customized equivalent by adding the following highlighted line to the code, as shown here:

The second workaround is recommended. The value that is used by SAS Infrastructure for Risk Management is then consistent with the value that is set in SAS Risk Governance Framework.
