Scheduled Jobs disappeared from flow in SMC

Hi team,

I'm very confused and I think SAS Management console is acting weird these days!

I have created one flow and added a deployed jobs and scheduled it, but after few days I found my flow empty however it is still running successfully and generating the logs for me without error.

I thought maybe someone deleted it, so I went to check from backend, and I have checked the logs, and I found nothing suspicious or deleted.

It looks like this:

Can anyone help!

I need to redeploy my SAS job.

That the flow still executes is expected, the execution takes place outside SAS metadata. SMC (should) show what is scheduled.

Does the DI job and the Scheduled job still exists in metadata?

You can also check metadata dependencies (between flow and deployed jobs) through the metadata browser from a DMS SAS session, or third party tools.

Maybe a stretch, but you are using the same credentials now as when you defined/deployed the flow? And the authorization hasn't changed.

Have you checked your local SMC log as well?

Hi @LinusH

Thanks for your reply!

How can I check that? from where, which path?

You can also check metadata dependencies (between flow and deployed jobs) through the metadata browser from a DMS SAS session, or third-party tools.

I'm using mobaxterm from backend to check the logs from servers

Maybe a stretch, but you are using the same credentials now as when you defined/deployed the flow? And the authorization hasn't changed.

Since I'm an admin, I have 2 users one the regular and one admin. sometimes I'm switching between them in terms of logins to SMC, but the one i scheduled with is my regular user not the admin.

Have you checked your local SMC log as well?

Can you show me from where exactly?

When you create a flow you select which deployed jobs you want to include in that flow. When you deploy a job, you select the location in Metadata where you wish to store that job. So the question is whether the deployed job has been deleted from Metadata, or simply removed from the flow. It sounds like one of those two things happened, so you may need to recover from a Metadata backup taken prior to the jobs being removed from the flow.

Both in SMC and DI Studio you have a search facility, where you among other things can filter on object type.

From MobaXterm, if you start a SAS session where you have program editor, log and output window, there is also a metadata browser. You need to set metadata options so you are connected to the metadata server.

SMC logs are typically stored under the each users home directory, on the host/client where SMC executes.
