When you configure the SAS Web Infrastructure Platform Data Server with SAS^® Deployment Wizard, the configuration fails if you updated the SAS Private Java Runtime Environment (JRE) after the installation of the software and before the configuration of the software. In SAS Deployment Wizard, you see an error similar to the following:

In the webinfdsvrc_configure log, you also see an error similar to the following:

The "Invalid parameter "",returncode:87" message comes from the empty string '' that is being passed to the Microsoft Windows icacls command-line utility. The empty string is not compatible with the updated SAS Private JRE. 

Note: The configuration for other products can also fail for a similar reason. If the SAS Private JRE has been updated and the configuration script for a product uses the winVistaICACLs macro, as shown in the SAS Web Infrastructure Data Server log example above, you can encounter this error. For example, if you are configuring SAS^® Financial Management, and the SAS Financial Management Data Server uses the winVistaICACLs macro, the configuration can fail for the same reason. Also, if you have an existing deployment where the SAS Private JRE has been updated and then you do an add-on of SAS Financial Management, you can encounter this error.

To work around this problem in a new deployment, you can restart the deployment from the beginning. However, do not update the SAS Private JRE until after you have both installed and configured the software.

For deployment scenarios other than new deployments, such as add-on scenarios, contact SAS Technical Support.

A fix for this issue is planned for a future software release.
