After installing Hot Fix M3P008, SAS Studio might return an "HTTP Status 500 – Internal Server Error."

When you encounter this issue, the SASServer2_1.log might contain the following errors:

ERROR (Catalina-utility-3) [org.springframework.web.servlet.DispatcherServlet]
Context initialization failed org.springframework.beans.factory.UnsatisfiedDependencyException:
Error creating bean with name 'backgroundSubmitController': Unsatisfied dependency expressed
through field 'backgroundSubmitService'; nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.NoSuchBeanDefinitionException: No qualifying bean of type 'com.sas.ep.sascoder.service.backgroundsubmit.BackgroundSubmitService' available: expected

Workaround

To work around this problem, comment out or remove spring-web*.jar entries from the catalina.properties file on each SAS Web Application Server. Then, restart the servers after you make the changes.

This problem will be fixed in Q4 of 2025.
