The SAS® Content Server URL is not generated correctly for HTTPS


After you install the SAS® Middle Tier Hot Fix M2K029 on SAS® 9.4M8 (TS1M8) or Hot Fix P6F005 on SAS® 9.4M9 (TS1M9), the following error might occur in different logs depending on which SAS Web Application you use:

2026-03-03 14:09:51,718 [tomcat-http--11] WARN  [43a4c002-1702-11f1-a4bd-0050569ec6a2] org.springframework.remoting.support.RemoteInvocationTraceInterceptor - Processing of AutoDiscoveredHttpServiceExporter remote call resulted in fatal exception: com.sas.svcs.content.objecttype.client.ObjectTypeAdminService.setObjectTypeIcon
java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Workspace mismatch: 'https://<hostname>:8080/SASContentServer/server/default/jcr%3aroot/sascontent' not under workspace 'http://<hostname>:8080/SASContentServer/server/default' (position 3: '{http}s://<hostname>:8080/SASContentServer/server/default/jcr%3aroot/sascontent', expected: '://<hostname>:8080/SASContentServer/server/default')
at org.apache.jackrabbit.spi2dav.IdURICache.checkedIsUnderWorkspace(IdURICache.java:108) ~[jackrabbit-spi2dav.jar:2.20.15]

In a SAS® Visual Analytics environment, this issue might cause the Save function to the SAS Content Server to stop working, which can result in the following error in some scenarios:


An error occurred during service request. Service: unknown >> unknown - Error: Please contact your system administrator.

 

This error message might also occur during configuration at the LoadContent stage in SAS® Deployment Wizard.

This error might be displayed in the following scenarios and cause the failure:

The following problem was encountered while configuring SAS Web Infrastructure Platform: Base response from object type Machine 950) icon creation 500 at [link}... You must resolve the error as reported in the log before continuing...

This issue occurs because the latest SAS Middle Tier hot fixes (M2K029 and P6F005) cause the SAS Content Server URL to not be correctly generated for HTTPS.

Workaround

To circumvent this issue, do the following:

Roll Back the Hot Fix Installation

To roll back the hot fix installation, see SAS KB0041932, "Uninstalling SAS® 9.2, 9.3 and 9.4 hot fixes."

Remove the Hot Fix from the Depot

Note: For an upgrade-in-place (UIP), you must do the following instead:

  1. Remove hot fix M2K029 (SAS 9.4M8) or P6F005 (SAS 9.4M9) from the depot.
  2. Restart the Mid-Tier installation and configuration from the beginning, ensuring that any previous attempts are cleaned up and any other tiers are restored to their state prior to starting the Mid-Tier configuration. 

Specifically, remove the P6F005 hot fix from the <sas_depot>/hot_fix directory, and also remove its entry from the <sas_depot>/hot_fix/hot_fix_index.xml file.
