Invoking SAS or attempting to create ODS Graphics output might result in the following errors in the SAS log:

In most situations, performing the following steps can circumvent the issue.

1. Shut down any running SAS sessions. 
    
2. Open one of the following directories, depending on your operating system:
   
   Microsoft Windows: !SASROOT\SASVersionedJarRepository\eclipse
   UNIX: !SASROOT/SASVersionedJarRepository/eclipse
   
   In the directory path, !SASROOT is your default SAS installation directory. For most installations of SAS on a Windows system, this directory is typically the following Windows directory: C:\Program Files\SASHOME.
    
3. In the directory, locate the following file:
   
   com.sas.app.launcher.cacheFile
   
   Rename this file as follows: 
   
   com.sas.app.launcher.old
    
4. Restart SAS. However, restart SAS as an administrator. Note that you have to run as administrator only this first time. After you restart SAS, SAS should then re-create the com.sas.app.launcher.cacheFile file.     

 

If these steps do not circumvent the issue, in most cases you either need to do a complete re-installation of SAS or upgrade to the latest production release of SAS (if you are not currently running the latest production release). Note: The latest production release of SAS is SAS^® 9.4M7 (TS1M7).
