SAS Management Console- SMC - can the flow Properties defaults be changed?

Bruno7 — Mon, 18 Apr 2022 15:13:45 GMT

Is it possible to change the default flow properties in SMC so we don't have to remember to right click on the flow and choose "Properties" with every flow we set up? I would like 3 settings in particular to be defaulted:

"Attributes" tab: radio button "Continue running the flow and change the flow state after the flow is complete.", and "Allow only one instance of the flow to run at a time."

"Job Properties" tab: "Default queue:" - would like to default to dev queue when the flow is in dev, and prod queue when the flow is in prod.

Is it possible to default all flows to have these 3 settings? Thanks in advance!

I don't know of any way to change the default options, but you could probably write some code to find any that don't have those options set. Something like:

data _null_;
  length type id uri $ 50 flow_name $ 255;
  call missing (of _character_);
  obj="omsobj:JFJob?JFJob[Properties/Property[@Name='QUEUE' and @DefaultValue ne 'Dev']][Properties/Property[@Name='FlowExclusiveCriteria' and @DefaultValue ne 'Yes']][Properties/Property[@Name='FlowEndBehavior' and @DefaultValue ne '3']]";
  flow_rc=metadata_resolve(obj,type,id);
  put "NOTE: Found " flow_rc "flows that didn't have a the requisite properties set.";
  if flow_rc > 0 then do i=1 to flow_rc;
    rc=metadata_getnobj(obj,i,uri);
    rc=metadata_getattr(uri,"Name",flow_name);
    put uri= flow_name=;
  end;
run;
