Is It Possible To Start RTDM Server Without Metadata Server Being Up?

There are chances that metadata service cannot be started due to corrupted metadata repository. Due to this you cannot able to use your new decisions. However RTDM service can work as they have cached version of repository. This makes the system alive and functional for a customer perspective. Will it? We have done testing in our test server unfortunately it doesn't work without Metadata server.

Below are the steps we have followed:

Stopping RTDM services
/software/sas/config/Lev1/sas.servers stop
/software/sas/bin/SASFederationServer/4.1/fedserver/bin/dfsadmin stop
/software/sas/bin/DataFluxAuthenticationServer/4.1/authserver/bin/dasadmin stop
/software/sas/bin/SASDeploymentAgent/9.4/agent.sh stop

Midtier:
/software/sas/config/Lev1/sas.servers stop
/software/sas/bin/SASFederationServerManager/4.1/fsmanager/bin/fsmadmin stop
/software/sas/bin/SASDeploymentAgent/9.4/agent.sh stop

Metadata and Compute:
/software/sas/config/Lev1/sas.servers stop
/software/sas/bin/SASFederationServer/4.1/fedserver/bin/dfsadmin stop
/software/sas/bin/DataFluxAuthenticationServer/4.1/authserver/bin/dasadmin stop
/software/sas/bin/SASDeploymentAgent/9.4/agent.sh stop

Restart RTDM server on it's own:
/software/sas/bin/SASDeploymentAgent/9.4/agent.sh start
/software/sas/bin/DataFluxAuthenticationServer/4.1/authserver/bin/dasadmin start
/software/sas/bin/SASFederationServer/4.1/fedserver/bin/dfsadmin start
/software/sas/config/Lev1/sas.servers start

So the cached version works only if no restart is done. After restart in metadata repository corrupted environment we are unable to use the decisions:

How to create library for Oracle in SAS?

In this article, you will get details about creating a new library using SAS Management Console. Here, I have provided the procedure for creating library for Oracle database. However, the steps will be same for other databases like SQL server, Teradata etc.     Creating connection to Oracle database: To create library, you must first create a connection to Oracle database in your host machine. Host machine is the physical location where your SAS platform is installed. Details like Oracle database hostname/IP address and DSN/SID name is needed. Those details should be entered in tsnnames.ora file. For more details check this article Creating library in SAS Management Console: The steps for creating library for Oracle using SAS Management Console (SMC) can used for other database like SQL Server, My SQL etc. New library wizard: Expand Data Library Manager plug-in, right click on the Libraries and click New Library to start library wizard.  You will be asked

They provided following details SQL server hostname and ip address Database/DSN name Username Password I made entry in ODBC.ini file.

Screenshot of error: Solution: This error occurs when you try to run OS commands in SAS code. To run the OS commands in SAS code you need to enable XCMD option. You check it in SAS Management Console by following below steps.   Open SMC -> Expand Servers -> Expand   In SASApp , expand Logical Workspace Server -> right click on Workspace Server. Click properties -> option tab -> advanced options -> launch properties. Check whether Allow XCMD is checked. The issue arises if the Allow XCMD is not checked. In above image, Allow XCMD option is not checked. It should be checked to run OS commands from SAS code. In Unix /Linux machines, this XCMD option can be enabled by using system option XCMD in sasv9 config file or workspaceserver.sh script file. Us
