Parallel Processing

JeffM — Sat, 27 Jul 2019 17:16:55 GMT

Hi,

I have the following flow set up for parallel processing and everything works fine. The issue is, when I hit the 'run process' button, the middle program never fires. However, it will work if I run it manually after the left stack finishes. I would love to just hit the 'run' button once. Does anyone have any tips?

Thanks

Jeff

Just because you have parallel arrows doesn't mean that you have parallel processing.

Parallel processing requires very specific code. Do you have this code in place?

probably not

I am fairly new to SAS. The only thing I did was make sure each program node has all of the library and variable statements. Then I checked "allow parallel processing on the same server" under Project Properties.

I usually build in EG and then copy the code to a program.

What code should I have?

Oh, I didn't know about this option. Thank you!

The next question then is how do you trigger the run? Do you get any errors?

Chris,

I don't get errors but when I run it I find out that the middle program did not produce a dataset...but it does if I run it individually

Not a big deal any more because I get to hand this off to someone else 🙂

Thanks
