Chaining SAS Jobs in SAS Job Execution (JE) – Guidance or Example Needed

GPatel — Thu, 29 May 2025 22:26:51 GMT

Hello,

In traditional SAS Stored Process environments, it's possible to chain or link stored processes together to create more flexible, modular web applications—allowing for distributed processing and user interaction between steps.

I’m now working within the SAS Viya Job Execution (JE) platform, and I’m wondering:

Is it possible to chain multiple SAS jobs together using JE?
Can a job call or redirect to another JE job, perhaps passing parameters between them (e.g., via URL or session state)?
Are there any working examples, documentation, or best practices for implementing this chaining technique within JE?

My goal is to implement a multi-step web workflow using SAS Job Execution jobs, where each step can guide the user to the next one and possibly reuse parameters or intermediate results.

If anyone has a simple working demo, or if SAS provides any official documentation, I would greatly appreciate it!

In the SAS Job Execution Web Application documentation there is a section on chaining jobs -
