Issue with WORK.PROFILE will be opened instead

hhchenfx — Tue, 27 Feb 2024 13:08:39 GMT

Hi,

I got new PC and I install SAS9.4 in my C: drive (C:\Program Files\SASHome\SASFoundation\9.4).

I copied my old document from my old PC to the new PC in folder E:\backup as below and in this folder, turns out this back up also has "My SAS Files".

Now when run my SAS, it always point to this folder with the below error.

How can I fix it?

Thanks,

HHC

ERROR: Windows error code: 362 in hc_normal_read_uhb for E:\backup\Documents\My SAS Files\9.4\profile.sas7bcat, The cloud file provider
is not running.

Hello@hhchenfx

A clean install would not know of the E drive on its own.
Did you make any changes to sasv9.cfg or have sasv9_usermod.cfg?
Is your drive local to the PC or a remote shared drive?

Delete your current SASUSER.Profile.

SAS will rebuild it on the next start.

Trying to copy "profile" items from version to version is generally not worth the hassle. Catalogs are a not always compatible with different versions of SAS.

I have no idea how you pointed to the "old" version, so you might need to describe that.
