redirect work

Stephane — Mon, 08 Jun 2009 09:26:20 GMT

hi

I'd to redirect the remote work while I'm connecting to a server with SAS/Connect signon.

I'd like specify a remote work for a user or a group, an another work for an another user or a group.

But the sasv9.cfg I call with my local session cannot interacte with the starting sesson on the server.

any helps ?

Possibly, using LIBNAME and then setting OPTIONS USER=;

Sorry Stephane, I am not following you. Can you rephrase?

I guess you could exploit the CSCRIPT option of the the SIGNON command.

CSCRIPT will allow you to specify a remote host script which is responsible for connecting/launching the sas session on the remoter server.

From this script you could use the -work command line option, which redirects the libname work to the specified .

You could setup different scripts with different paths for different users.

Check this example for a sign-on script on the UNIX platform (look for [7] for the sas invoke):

when you assign a library to libref USER, all single level data set names ( memname rather than libname.memname) will be read from, or written to that USER library.
A neat trick uses this combined with library concatenation.[pre] libname elsewher 'somewhere else' ;
libname user ( elsewher work ) ;[/pre]After this code, any datasets already written to the WORK library are available as one-level names and new data sets created will be written into ELSEWHER.

Stephane,
does this technique provide what you need?

Hi all,

Yes Daniel, I wanted to provide a specific work for my team 1 and another one for the team 2. The easiest way to do that is :

In the TCPWIN.scr I change the TYPE line that asks the connexion to the server.

Instead of the common line : type 'sas -device grlink -nosyntaxcheck' LF;

you put : type 'sas -device grlink -nosyntaxcheck -WORK "\\Myserver\sasfiles\saswork" ' LF;

Where \sasfiles\saswork will be the root the SAS temporary files.

I change by this way the -SASUSER option and then I send to the team 1 the TCPWIN_1.SCR with a -WORK location for it and I send to the team 2 the TCPWIN_2.SCR with a -WORK location for it.

Hi

next question

I'm still with my Foundation installation and I use usual interface to work remotely but also Guide 4.
SEG doesn't use the tcpwin so do you have an idea to do the same thing (ie. redirect work) ?

I thought to modify sasv9.cfg on the server but I'm wondering if you know to do differently.

Recommend opening a new post for each new query, rather than piggy-back. If necessary, post a link back to a related post.
