SAS Management Console might fail to launch when you do either of the following:

• You install or upgrade SAS Management Console using a SAS^® 9.4M9 (TS1M9) software order.
• You apply hot fixes related to SAS Management Console or its plug-ins.

As a result, when you start SAS Management Console, an error similar to the following might occur:

 

This error prevents SAS Management Console from opening successfully.

Affected Plug-ins

The following plug-ins are known to be impacted. Note that this list is not exhaustive.

• bilineage
• dprosmc
• esrimmplugin
• mitibridges
• olapmonitor
• sapsmcplugin
• spdssmc
• wipclient

Cause

This issue occurs due to a version mismatch of the commons_beanutils JAR. The version referenced in the core SAS Management Console picklist does not match the version referenced by one or more plug-ins.

SAS is actively investigating this issue and working on a permanent fix. Until that fix is available, use the workaround below to restore functionality.

Workaround

Important: Ensure that SAS Management Console is not running before you complete the following steps:

1. Navigate to the following directory: 
   
   <SASHome>/SASManagementConsole/9.4
   
   
2. Make a backup copy of the picklist file. 
3. Open the picklist file in a text editor.
4. Locate the following section:
   
   name=commons_beanutils
   version=1.11.0.0_SAS_20251001024927
   
   
5. Replace the version line with the following: 
   
   version=1.11.0.0_SAS_20251024173404
   
   
6. After this change, the section should appear as follows:
   
   name=commons_beanutils
   version=1.11.0.0_SAS_20251024173404
   
   
7. Save the file.
8. Launch SAS Management Console.

Result

SAS Management Console should now start successfully without displaying the plug-in JAR version error.
