Problem Note 65929: A grid-enabled sign-on to SAS® 9.4M6 (TS1M6) fails with errors, including "Remote signon … canceled"

DetailsHotfixAboutRate It

A sign-on to a grid-enabled environment fails while it is trying to communicate with the client host. The following errors then appear in the SAS log:

ERROR: A communication subsystem partner link setup request failure has occurred.
ERROR: Could not start grid job or grid job failed.
ERROR: PROVIDER(SAS): The job failed. Exit code=231.
ERROR: Remote signon to grid-name canceled.

This issue occurs when the DNS server cannot resolve the local host name because your environment uses dynamic IP addresses.

Click the Hot Fix tab in this note to access the hot fix for this issue.

After you apply the hot fix, a new environment variable, TCPBINDADDR, is available.

To set the variable in the client session, it can be added at start-up, as shown here:

sas -set TCPBINDADDR IP-address-of-client-that-is-doing-the-sign-on

You can also add it via a SAS statement:

options set=TCPBINDADDR "IP-address-of-client-that-is-doing-the-sign-on";
