After a clean install of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate SP1 (and subsequent Windows updates) on my Toshiba Tecra M4 tablet, I checked the device manager to see if Vista missed anything.  Only one yellow exclamation point was displayed.  I dug into the properties of the unknown device and it displayed the following information: unknown device – other device on Intel 82801 FBM LPC Interface Controller – 2641.  Doing a search on this information pointed to about half of the notebook devices made during the last few years – nothing useful.  I looked at the hardware ID of the unknown device and it displayed ACPI\IFX0101.  A search on that string produced results including an Infineon TPM (Trusted Platform Module), which I knew existed on my Tecra.  I browsed over to Toshiba.com, downloaded the Trusted Platform Software, and no more unknown devices in the device manager.

I contacted SAS tech support and they had the answer instantly.  When running in a headless environment (a server that does not have a display (monitor) attached to it), Tomcat requires the following option in its startup script:

Djava.awt.headless=true

Once I added the option to the Tomcat startup script and restarted Tomcat and SAS Remote Services, no more errors and we were getting our graph output in Web Report Studio again.
