This External Data Provider node must be used when you want to create a data job that has an inner data job that reads a data source. If you do not include an <STRONG>External Data Provider</STRONG> node in this scenario, the following error is displayed: <EM>Error:&nbsp; Data flow - Job has no <SPAN class="highlight" style="color: #000000; font-weight: bold; background-color: #ffff66;"><SPAN class="SearchHighlight1">external provider</SPAN></SPAN> steps</EM>."</P><P></P><P>Does that apply to your situation?</P><P></P><P>Also, are you talking about the "Email and FTP" node for data jobs? If so, that node should work with the set up described here: <A href="http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dfdmstudio/2.5/dmpdmsug/Content/dfU_PFUtil_EmailFTP.html" title="http://support.sas.com/documentation/onlinedoc/dfdmstudio/2.5/dmpdmsug/Content/dfU_PFUtil_EmailFTP.html">Email and FTP Node</A><A name="usage_embedded_job"></A></P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 12 Nov 2014 17:25:46 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Email-Node-error-in-a-data-job/m-p/168013#M3231 DaveR_SAS 2014-11-12T17:25:46Z Re: Email Node error in a data job https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Email-Node-error-in-a-data-job/m-p/168014#M3232 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Where do I find the External Data Provider node, in DMstudio in the data job node pane?</P></BODY></HTML> Wed, 12 Nov 2014 18:28:48 GMT https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Email-Node-error-in-a-data-job/m-p/168014#M3232 MikeToole 2014-11-12T18:28:48Z Re: Email Node error in a data job https://communities.sas.com/t5/SAS-Data-Management/Email-Node-error-in-a-data-job/m-p/168015#M3233 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>Yes - in the Data Inputs folder.</P><P></P><P>Btw -- I will be out of the office after 1:30 EST today.
