The SASDataLoader.log, SASDataLoadersharedservices.log, and SASDataLoaderwebprofile.log files are not created in SAS® 9.4M8 (TS1M8)


If you perform an upgrade-in-place to SAS 9.4M8, SASServer15_1 is correctly started. However, the SASDataLoader.log, SASDataLoadersharedservices.log, and SASDataLoaderwebprofile.log files are not created.

Workaround

To create the web application's log, complete the following instructions:

  1. Modify the web.xml file for the following directories:

<Config-Lev>\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer15_1\sas_webapps\sas.dm.webprofile.war

<Config-Lev>\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer15_1\sas_webapps\sas.dm.sharedservices.war

<Config-Lev>\Web\WebAppServer\SASServer15_1\sas_webapps\sas.dm.datadirector.war
 

  1. Modify the bolded potions of the code as follows:

FROM 

    <context-param>
        <param-name>log4jConfiguration</param-name>
        <param-value>file://<Config-Lev>\Web\Common\LogConfig/SASDataLoader-log4j.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

TO 

    <context-param>
        <param-name>log4jConfiguration</param-name>
        <param-value>file:///<Config-Lev>\Web\Common\LogConfig/SASDataLoader-log4j.xml</param-value>
    </context-param>

Note that a new slash was added.
 

  1. Save a copy of the modified files.

Note: If you need to rebuild and redeploy the web applications, you need to recopy the web.xml and restart SASServer15_1.
