Resolving Problems with SAS Environment Manager

When you add auto-discovered resources into the inventory, you might see the following error message
Unable to import platform : org.hyperic.hq.common.SystemException: org.hibernate.ObjectNotFoundException:No row the the given identifier exists: [org.hyperic.hq.autoinventory.Allp#10001]
Purge the AIQ data in the SAS Environment Monitor database. Follow these steps:
  1. Select Managethen selectHQ Healththen selectDatabase tab
  2. Select Purge AIQ Data from the Action menu.
    These messages appear:
    • DELETE FROM EAM_AIQ_IP: 0 rows
    • DELETE FROM EAM_AIQ_SERVICE: 0 rows
    • DELETE FROM EAM_AIQ_SERVER: 0 rows
    • DELETE FROM EAM_AIQ_PLATFORM: 0 rows
  3. Restart the agents.
If you add a resource that has been discovered but does not have any availability information to an Availability Summary portlet, the portlet will never display any information for the resource. The server log contains this information:
  1. On the Resources tab, delete the platform that contains the resource.
  2. Stop the agent.
  3. Delete the tokendata, keystore, and keyvals files from the directory <SAS-configuration-directory>/Lev2/Web/SASEnvironmentManager/agent-5.8.0-EE/data.
  4. Issue the command hq-agent.bat/sh restart from the command console.
Connections for gathering metrics and performing heath checks might cause problems with SAS IOM servers.
The direct connections that SAS Environment Manager makes with some SAS IOM servers (such as SAS workspace servers, SAS stored process servers, and SAS object spawners) might cause problems with server operations. Examples of these problems include the following:
  • SAS Environment Manager starting jobs that never complete on SAS pooled workspace servers and SAS stored process servers
  • SAS stored process servers attempting to start every minute and failing each time
To prevent these problems, follow these steps to disable the metric collection processes that might cause problems.
  1. Select Managethen selectMonitoring Defaults
  2. In the Server Types table on the Monitoring Defaults page, select Edit Metric Template for the entry SAS Object Spawner 9.4 SAS Workspace Server.
  3. Select the Availability check box, and then select Disable Collection. Select OK when you are asked to confirm the change.
  4. On the Monitoring Defaults page, select Edit Metric Template for the entry SAS Object Spawner 9.4 SAS Stored Process Server.
  5. Select the Availability check box and the Utilization check box (which also selects the check boxes under the Utilization heading), and then select Disable Collection. Select OK when you are asked to confirm the change.
  6. In the Server Types table on the Monitoring Defaults page, select Edit Metric Template for the entry SAS Object Spawner 9.4 SAS Pooled Workspace Server.
  7. Select the Availability check box, and then select Disable Collection. Select OK when you are asked to confirm the change.
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer, newly created folders might not show up in the folder tree.
To ensure that new folders appear, from the Internet Explorer menu, select Toolsthen selectF12 Developer Tools. From the Internet Explorer Developer Tools menu, select Cachethen selectAlways refresh from server.
If you cause an error when you rename a folder (because, for example, you used invalid characters in the name or specified a blank name), the folder is not saved and the Validate Result dialog box appears.
To view details about the error, click the text Basic Properties page failed in the dialog box.
When you configure the SAS Environment Manager Server, SSL 3.0 is enabled by default. SSL 3.0 is vulnerable to the POODLE security attack.
To disable SSL 3.0 in the SAS Environment Manager Server, follow these steps:
  1. Open the server.xml file that is in the directory server-5.0.0-EE/hq-engine/hq-server/conf under the SAS Environment Manager directory.
  2. Locate the <Connector> element that specifies SSLEnabled=”true”
  3. Specify the sslProtocols parameter in the <Connector> element.
    <Connector ... sslProtocols="TLSv1,TLSv1.1,TLSv1.2"/>
  4. Save the file and restart the SAS Environment Manager Server.
Note: Depending on your release of SAS Environment Manager, the sslProtocols parameter might already be specified. If this is the case, SSL 3.0 is already disabled and you do not need to take any further action.
