Hi, I am trying to set up an ODBC data link to read a .XML file but am getting the following message that the FXXML27S.DLL could not be found - along with a system error 126 (see below) Can anybody advise if this is a standard add-in for SAS (and we should have it) or is licence dependent thanks Nigel ...

Hi I hope somebody can advise.. Until now, we have had a Dataflux licencing structure (v2.5 of DMS) and have been running jobs using the dmpexec.exe module Our .BAT files would contain code to initiate the job and look something like this eg (taken from the SAS Help documentation - an actual example has been attached) "C:\Program Files\SASHome\DataFluxDataManagementServer\[instance_name]\bin\dmpexec" We have recently moved to a SAS licence structure and installed v2.6 of the product. My installation hierarchy structure now looks like "C:\Program Files (x86)\SASHome\x86\SASStudioSingleUser\3.3......" Below this are directories names \build, \installs, \lib and \war Can anybody please advise where I can find the exec module to enable me to run my jobs in a batch mode and what my batch file should look like now (and SAS - could you please update your documentation to reflect this too) Thanks Nigel ...

Hi, Looking at the Data Inputs node within Dataflux v2.5 - there is an option of reading unstructured data by using the Document Conversion option We have a business requirement to read unstructured data that is held in a .TIFF file. This format isn't mentioned in the help documents - does anybody have any experience of reading this format into SAS Dataflux? I don't have much knowledge of reading unstructured data but from Wikipedia .TIFF appears to be a supported Adobe format. All tips - plus any other relevant information most appreciated Thanks Nigel ... View more

Hi peers! I am writing and running jobs using SAS Dataflux (v2.4) within Data Management Studio. To date this has been on a Intel i5 64bit Windows7 machine equiped with 4Mb of RAM. Occasionally, especially with large jobs, this would cause problems and I would be asked to close down the application or even that I had 'attempted to read/write protected memory and it had become corrupt'. This generally occurred whilst developing code. Additionally, often whilst running jobs, the machine was working hard - there appeared to be a lot of disk activity and from monitoring, it appeared that all available memory (just under 3Mb) was being used To attempt to address this, I increased the memory in my machine to 8Mb. However, this had little effect on job times and investigating further, it appeared that Dataflux still only used just under 3Mb of RAM Reading through the SAS literature - it advises "a minimum of 2Mb" If anybody can add to the above experience and advise on the optimum pc setup I would be most grateful. I am beginning to think that Dataflux doesn't use the full 64bit capability? Thanks Nige ... View more
