SN-012357

"sam.S249.ex.msg: A connection to server host could not be established on port 8591. Either there is no server listening for connections or the server is too busy to access any new connections."
When you test the Workspace server connection in the SAS Management Console (SMC), this error message might appear if the Workspace server has not been added to the SASMain - Spawner definition when you configured the Object Spawner in the New Server Wizard. Likewise, if the Stored Process server has been omitted, the same error message might appear when testing its connection. Solution: Add the Workspace server to the SASMain - Spawner definition: 1. Open the SAS Management Console and expand Server Manager. 2. Locate SASMain - Spawner, right click, and select Properties. 3. Select the Servers tab (notice what is in 'Selected Servers': you should see SASMain - Workspace server and SASMain - Stored Process server). 4. If either is not listed in 'Selected Servers', choose the missing one from 'Available servers', move it to 'Selected Servers', and choose OK. 5. Then close the Object Spawner, stop and restart your Metadata server, start the Object Spawner and test the connections. Server connections can be tested by using Server Manager in the SMC. 1. Expand Server Manager and expand SASMain. 2. Expand SASMain - Logical Workspace server. 3. Click SASMain - Workspace server. 4. In the right pane, right-click on Connection: SASMain - Workspace server. 5. Choose Test Connection (log in, if necessary). 6. If successful, this message appears: Test Connection Successful! This has also been seen when you did not start your Object Spawner, before testing the Workspace Server. To start your Object Spawner, perform the following: Click Start>Programs>SAS>*ProjectName*\Start SAS Object Spawner. Product: Base SAS
