When installing SAS 9.2 with an encoding other than US English, the SAS^® Deployment Wizard might fail with an error during the step in which you configure the Operating System Services Scheduler. To correct this error, locate the following lines from the path configuration-directory/Lev1/SASApp/SchedulingServer/SchedulingServer.sh:

  if [ -n "$METAUSER" ] ; then
     cmd="$cmd -metauser \"$METAUSER\""
  fi
  if [ -n "$METAPASS" ] ; then
     cmd="$cmd -metapass \"$METAPASS\""
  fi

Replace the code that is shown above with the following lines:

  if [ -n "$METAUSER" ] ; then
     cmd="$cmd -metauser \"`echo $METAUSER |  iconv -fibm-1047 -tIBM-1141`\""
  fi
  if [ -n "$METAPASS" ] ; then
     cmd="$cmd -metapass \"`echo $METAPASS |  iconv -fibm-1047 -tIBM-1141`\""
  fi
