SAS pre-assigned libraries are not assigned!

Hi,

I have the following issue:

All the libraries which we create a pre-assigned. And they work for about 3 days. Then something happens and we start to receive errors like this:

ERROR: Libref ENRS is not assigned.

But when I click on the library name I see this:

The "ENRS" library was preassigned so no libname statement will be generated.

Do you know what may cause this issue and how we can solve it?

I really appreciate any help you can provide.

based on the previous post I assume that the libraries are being preassigned at server level using SAS Management Console. Typically once preassigned, libraries tend to stay same unless something is changing it. (Newtons First law)
Please have a look at the server logs (Metadata , Object Spawner) to see if there is anything that helps us in locating the issue.
If nothing can be figured from the logs, then SAS Tech Support is the right place to reach.

If you turn off pre-assignment in the properties for the library and then try to assign it manually it will usually give additional detail on the cause of the failure.
