SAS Deployment Manager fails during SAS Web Application Server configuration with the following error:

This error occurs when you have a reverse proxy or a load balancer configured for the middle tier and are doing one of the following:

• an update in place
• the Update Existing Configuration task

This issue has been addressed in SAS 9.4 Rev. 940_21w26. To resolve this issue, you need to either use a release prior to SAS 9.4 Rev. 940_20w47 or after SAS 9.4 Rev. 940_21w26. You can find the release number from your Software Order Confirmation Email, such as Rev. 940_21w17.

In any case, if you cannot obtain a newer release as listed above, then complete the following workaround.

The procedure to install this fix is to replace the existing JAR file with a new one:

1. Find the sas.appserver.config.jar file in an existing SAS installation in SASHome, which is typically similar to this: <SASHome>/SASDeploymentManager/9.4/products/deploywiz__94564__prt__xx__sp0__1/deploywiz/appserver

Note that the example is a Linux directory, but Windows has the same directory structure. The 94564 number might change based on your deployment.

3. Rename the existing JAR file and move this JAR file to a different directory. The new name is not important, but you can use:

sas.appserver.config.jar.ORIGINAL

4. Download the new JAR file from the Downloads tab of this SAS Note, name it sas.appserver.config.jar, and then copy the new JAR file into the directory.
5. In addition to SASHome, if a SAS Install Depot is in use, then the same file within the depot should be replaced as well. In a SAS depot, the file can be found in a directory similar to the following:

<Depot>/products/deploywiz__94564__prt__xx__sp0__1/deploywiz/appserver

6. Use the same process for the depot as well: rename/move the existing file into another directory, and then copy the new JAR file into the depot directory.
7. Click Retry in the SAS Deployment Manager error window.

Note: The sas.appserver.config.jar file provided on the Downloads tab is the same for both Windows and Linux/UNIX environments.
